Article Synopsis
- * A study involving whole-exome sequencing of 11 Taiwanese patients with severe AIS identified over 200 potential rare genetic variants, but most were unique to single individuals.
- * Key genes linked to AIS were pinpointed, with one pathogenic variant shared among 35% of patients, indicating these genes play critical roles in the condition's development.
Article Synopsis
- Overweight and obesity increase disease risks, and their prevalence has sharply grown in Taiwan, prompting a study on genetic factors related to body composition.
- A genome-wide association study analyzed data from over 21,000 individuals, identifying 13 significant genetic loci linked to traits such as BMI, body fat percentage, waist circumference, and waist-hip ratio.
- Findings revealed known and new genetic factors influencing adiposity, with a specific gene (RALGAPA1) linked to high BMI, and highlighted the role of neural pathways, indicating different genetic influences on various types of body fat distribution in the Taiwanese population.
The recent outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) by SARS-CoV-2 has led to uptodate 24.3 M cases and 0.8 M deaths.
