The genetic basis of esterase polymorphism in Heterodera glycines was investigated through controlled matings and analysis of F and F progeny. Three nematode lines, each fixed for a different esterase phenotype, were isolated and purified through repeated directional selection and inbreeding. Each phenotype was characterized by its distinct pair of closely spaced bands of esterase activity. Single-female single-male crosses were conducted according to a modified agar-plate mating technique. F progeny were homogeneous, exhibiting both parental esterase phenotypes (codominant heterozygotes) but no hybrid bands. Approximately 1,500 F progeny segregated in a 1:2:1 ratio for expression of the esterase phenotypes of the female parental line, the heterozygote, and the male parental line. Apparently the three esterase phenotypes correspond to three codominant alleles of a single esterase locus. Reciprocal crosses gave similar results, suggesting no maternal inheritance.

Background: Cardiometabolic disorders represent a pressing public health challenge and confer heightened susceptibility to age-related cognitive decline, including increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease (AD). There is a strong genetic component underlying risks for these conditions, and human Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) have associated the PPP1R3B genetic locus with both cardiometabolic dysfunction and AD. PPP1R3B protein is primarily expressed in liver hepatocytes, regulating liver glycogen metabolism.

Background: SHIP1 is a phosphatidyl inositol phosphatase encoded by INPP5D, which has been identified as a risk gene for Alzheimer's disease (AD). SHIP1 is expressed in microglia, the resident macrophage in brain. It is a complex, multidomain protein that acts as a negative regulator downstream from TREM2.

Expressed CHRFAM7A, a human restricted gene with carrier frequency of 75% in the human population predicts profound translational significance.
Method: The physiological role of CHRFAM7A in human brain is explored using multiomics approach on 600 post mortem human brain tissue samples (ROSMAP).

Human genetic studies have nominated cadherin-like and PC-esterase domain-containing 1 () as a candidate target gene mediating bone mineral density (BMD) and fracture risk heritability. Recent efforts to define the role of in bone in mouse and human models have revealed complex alternative splicing and inconsistent results arising from gene targeting, making its function in bone difficult to interpret. To better understand the role of in adult bone mass and morphology, we conducted a comprehensive genetic and phenotypic analysis of in zebrafish, an emerging model for bone and mineral research.

Background: Acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (ASMD) and Gaucher disease type 1 (GD1) are rare inherited sphingolipid disorders with multisystemic manifestations, including liver disease and dyslipidemia. Despite effective treatments, insufficient disease awareness frequently results in diagnostic delays during which irreversible complications occur. We delineated the shared and distinctive features of hepatic, splenic, and lipoprotein phenotypes in ASMD and GD1.
