Background And Purpose: Data on the association between PDE4D SNP 87 and the risk of ischemic stroke are contentious and debatable. The present meta-analysis was undertaken to systematically summarize the possible association.
Methods: Based on comprehensive search of PubMed, Embase, and CNKI databases, we identified 18 eligible articles examining the relationship between PDE4D SNP 87 and ischemic stroke risk. We evaluated the strength of relationship using odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
Results: In the overall analysis, PDE4D SNP 87 was not found to have effects on the risk of ischemic stroke. The null association persisted in the subgroup analyses according to ethnicity and sample size.
Conclusions: Our meta-analysis suggests that PDE4D SNP 87 may not represent an independent risk factor for ischemic stroke development.

Stroke is a debilitating condition that often leads to disability and death. The increasing prevalence of stroke has drawn worldwide attention. Extensive evidence indicates a crucial role of genetic determinants in the occurrence and perpetuation of stroke.

Background: Several studies have investigated the correlation between phosphodiesterase 4D (PDE4D) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs918592 and the risk of ischemic stroke (IS) in Chinese populations. But the results were inconsistent and inconclusive. Therefore, to resolve this conflict, we conducted a meta-analysis to further elucidate their relationship in Chinese populations.

Background And Purpose: Studies on the relationship between Phosphodiesterase 4 D (PDE4D) gene polymorphism with the risk of ischemic stroke (IS) have shown discordant results. The present meta-analysis was aimed to clarify the relationship between PDE4D gene polymorphism with the risk of IS by estimating pooled analysis of published epidemiological studies.
Methods: A comprehensive literature search for all the published articles was performed in various electronic databases, including PubMed, EMbase, Cochrane Library, Trip Database, Worldwide Science, CINAHL, and Google Scholar up to 22 December 2021.

Stray non-breeding cats (stray) represent the largest heterogeneous cat population subject to natural selection, while populations of the Siamese (SIAM) and Oriental Shorthair (OSH) breeds developed through intensive artificial selection for aesthetic traits. Runs of homozygosity (ROH) and demographic measures are useful tools to discover chromosomal regions of recent selection and to characterize genetic diversity in domestic cat populations. To achieve this, we genotyped 150 stray and 26 household non-breeding cats (household) on the Illumina feline 63 K SNP BeadChip and compared them to SIAM and OSH.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the significant single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and genes associated with nine reproduction and morphological traits in three breed populations of Chinese goats.
Methods: The genome-wide association of nine reproduction and morphological traits (litter size, nipple number, wattle, skin color, coat color, black dorsal line, beard, beard length, and hind leg hair) were analyzed in three Chinese native goat breeds (n = 336) using an Illumina Goat SNP50 Beadchip.
Results: A total of 17 genome-wide or chromosome-wide significant SNPs associated with one reproduction trait (litter size) and six morphological traits (wattle, coat color, black dorsal line, beard, beard length, and hind leg hair) were identified in three Chinese native goat breeds, and the candidate genes were annotated.
