Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates laterality defects, focusing on the genetic variations linked to congenital heart disease (CHD) by analyzing sequencing data from three cohorts, uncovering a higher occurrence of digenic variants compared to control groups.
- - A digenic model involving 115 known laterality defect genes revealed significant rates of trans-heterozygous digenic variants in affected individuals, particularly in the Baylor, Kids First, and PCGC cohorts (ranging from 2.8% to 13.5%).
- - The results suggest that epistatic interactions between genes play a crucial role in the genetics of laterality defects, with 23% of identified digenic pairs found in structural complexes of motile
Purpose: Our study aimed to compare the prevalence and likelihood of self-reported (SR) cancer diagnosis between lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) groups and the heterosexual population in the United States between 2017 and 2021.
Methods: This study analyzed data from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) 2017-2021, which included 134,372 heterosexual and 4576 LGB individuals aged 18 and above. The prevalence of any SR cancer and some selected cancers were calculated for the LGB and compared with heterosexual adults.
