Objectives: The routine detection of polymorphisms affecting drug sensitivity in patients before treatment is important in the identification of drug responders or nonresponders, and patients at increased risk of drug toxicity. Here, we present an assay for the simultaneous and rapid genotyping of five polymorphisms influencing drug sensitivity.

Design And Methods: We used a hybridization probe assay on the LightCycler to detect five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs): INPP1 (973C>A), ADRB2 (R16G and Q27E), HTR2A (102T>C), and mtDNA (1555A>G). Two fluorescent labeled hybridization probes were designed for the simultaneous detection of the five SNPs and detection of the variant alleles was performed by melting curve analysis.

Results: All five SNPs were detected with a single thermocycle protocol within 40 min. The genotypes determined in this assay were identical to those obtained with conventional PCR and restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis.

Conclusions: To our knowledge, we report here for the first time a method for simultaneous detection of five SNPs, on a single thermocycle protocol by the LightCycler. This method is rapid, highly sensitive, and high-throughput, and is thus suitable for routine clinical use and large-scale epidemiologic studies.

The interplay of sex and genotype in disease associations: a comprehensive network analysis in the UK Biobank.

Background: Disease comorbidities and longer-term complications, arising from biologically related associations across phenotypes, can lead to increased risk of severe health outcomes. Given that many diseases exhibit sex-specific differences in their genetics, our objective was to determine whether genotype-by-sex (GxS) interactions similarly influence cross-phenotype associations. Through comparison of sex-stratified disease-disease networks (DDNs)-where nodes represent diseases and edges represent their relationships-we investigate sex differences in patterns of polygenicity and pleiotropy between diseases.

Background: Skeletal fluorosis is a chronic metabolic bone disease caused by excessive accumulation of fluoride in the bones. Previous studies have found that when the intake of tea fluoride is similar, the prevalence of skeletal fluorosis varies greatly among different ethnic groups, which may be related to different genetic backgrounds. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) and collagen type 1 α1 (COL1A1) were strongly associated with bone metabolism as well as bone growth and development, but their association with the risk of skeletal fluorosis has not been reported.

Ovalbumin gene polymorphism: Implications for hatchability and egg quality changes during storage in Japanese quail.

Poult Sci

January 2025

Institute of Biological Bases of Animal Production, University of Life Sciences in Lublin, 13 Akademicka St., 20-950 Lublin, Poland.

The aim of the study was to identify polymorphisms in the ovalbumin gene - SERPINB14 gene and evaluate their effect on hatchability traits and egg quality changes during storage in two strains of Japanese quails: meat-type (F33) and laying-type (S22). To individually determine hatchability traits for each female, eggs were collected and incubated. To determine egg quality traits, 10 eggs were collected from each female and stored for 14 weeks.
