Article Synopsis
  • The study addresses the limitations of current genetic testing for cardiovascular disease (CVD) by introducing a comprehensive clinical genome test with semi-automated interpretation.
  • The test assesses various genetic factors, including monogenic conditions, polygenic risk scores, and pharmacogenomics, using data from a broad genomic database.
  • Findings suggest that this approach can effectively identify genetic risks for CVD, providing valuable information for patients and potentially enabling broader public health applications.

Morphogenesis involves coordinated cell migrations and cell shape changes that generate tissues and organs, and organize the body plan. Cell adhesion and the cytoskeleton are important for executing morphogenesis, but their regulation remains poorly understood. As genes required for embryonic morphogenesis may have earlier roles in development, temperature-sensitive embryonic-lethal mutations are useful tools for investigating this process.

Puromycin-sensitive aminopeptidases are found across phyla and are known to regulate the cell-cycle and play a protective role in neurodegenerative disease. PAM-1 is a puromycin-sensitive aminopeptidase important for meiotic exit and polarity establishment in the one-cell Caenorhabditis elegans embryo. Despite conservation of this aminopeptidase, little is known about its targets during development.

The adult Caenorhabditis elegans hermaphrodite gonad consists of two mirror-symmetric U-shaped arms, with germline nuclei located peripherally in the distal regions of each arm. The nuclei are housed within membrane cubicles that are open to the center, forming a syncytium with a shared cytoplasmic core called the rachis. As the distal germline nuclei progress through meiotic prophase, they move proximally and eventually cellularize as their compartments grow in size.
