Background: Migraine causes crippling attacks of severe head pain along with associated nausea, vomiting, photophobia and/or phonophobia. The aim of this study was to investigate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the adenosine deaminase, RNA-specific, B1 (ADARB1) and adenosine deaminase, RNA specific, B2 (ADARB2) genes in an Australian case-control Caucasian population for association with migraine. Both candidate genes are highly expressed in the central nervous system and fit criteria for migraine neuropathology. SNPs in the ADARB2 gene were previously found to be positively associated with migraine in a pedigree-based genome wide association study using the genetic isolate of Norfolk Island, Australia. The ADARB1 gene was also chosen for investigation due to its important function in editing neurotransmitter receptor transcripts.
Methods: Four SNPs in ADARB1 and nine in ADARB2 were selected by inspecting blocks of linkage disequilibrium in Haploview for genotyping using either TaqMan or Sequenom assays. These SNPs were genotyped in two-hundred and ninety one patients who satisfied the International Classification of Headache Disorders-II 2004 diagnostic criteria for migraine, and three-hundred and fourteen controls, and PLINK was used for association testing.
Results: Chi-square analysis found no significant association between any of the SNPs tested in the ADARB1 and ADARB2 genes in this study and the occurrence of migraine.
Conclusions: In contrast to findings that SNPs in the ADARB2 gene were positively associated with migraine in the Norfolk Island population, we find no evidence to support the involvement of RNA editing genes in migraine susceptibility in an Australian Caucasian population.

Introduction: Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is the commonly used therapy of unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), though the prognosis of different TACE-treated HCC patients varies, which may be due to the heterogeneity of HCC tumors caused by genetic variants and epigenetic changes such as RNA editing. There is dysregulated RNA adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) editing in HCC and RNA-edited genes are involved in the epigenetic process. It remains unclear how genetic variants of RNA editing genes affect the prognosis of HCC cases treated by TACE.

Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is one of the histological subtypes of thyroid cancer which is the most common endocrine malignancy in the world. The disrupted balance of the adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) RNA editing due to dysregulation of the editing genes exists in thyroid cancer. However, it is still largely unknown how functional single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the A-to-I RNA editing genes contribute to PTC genetic susceptibility.

Fluoxetine (FLX) and other selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are widely used to treat depressive disorders during pregnancy. Early-life exposure to FLX is known to disrupt the normal function of the stress axis in humans, rodents, and teleosts. We used a zebrafish line with a cortisol-inducible fluorescent transgene to study the effects of developmental daily exposure to FLX (54 µg/L) on the transcriptomic profile of brain tissues in exposed larvae and later as 6-month-old adults.

Aims: The adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) RNA editing controlled by the editing genes are known to diversify transcripts in human. Aberrant A-to-I editing due to dysregulation of the editing genes are involved in cancer development. However, it is still largely unclear how single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the A-to-I editing genes confer to recurrence and/or drug resistance of epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) therapy in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
