While the etiology of schizophrenia (SZ) remains elusive, its diverse phenotypes suggest the involvement of distinct functional cortical areas, and the heritability of SZ implies the underlying genetic factors. This study aimed to integrate imaging and molecular analyses to elucidate the genetic underpinnings of SZ. We investigated the local cortical structural pattern changes in Brodmann areas (BAs) by calculating the cortical structural pattern index (SPI) using magnetic resonance imaging analysis from 194 individuals with SZ and 330 controls.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a severe motor neuron disease, with most sporadic cases lacking clear genetic causes. Abnormal pre-mRNA splicing is a fundamental mechanism in neurodegenerative diseases. For example, TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) loss-of-function (LOF) causes widespread RNA mis-splicing events in ALS.

CRP is a biomarker of acute inflammation linked to metabolic complications. Given the rising prevalence of these conditions in India, we investigated the genetic basis of CRP levels in Indian adolescents, an underrepresented group in genetic studies, to identify early markers of metabolic risk. We performed a two-phased genome-wide association study (GWAS; N = 5052) and an independent Exome-wide association study (ExWAS; N = 4547), to identify both common and rare genetic variants associated with CRP levels.

Synthetic lethality is defined as a type of genetic interaction where the combination of two genetic events results in cell death, whereas each of them separately does not. Synthetic lethality can be a useful tool in personalised oncology. MLH1 is a cancer-related gene that has a central role in DNA mismatch-repair and TP53 is the most frequently mutated gene in cancer.

Importance: Treatment to lower high levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) reduces incident coronary artery disease (CAD) risk but modestly increases the risk for incident type 2 diabetes (T2D). The extent to which genetic factors across the cholesterol spectrum are associated with incident T2D is not well understood.

Objective: To investigate the association of genetic predisposition to increased LDL-C levels with incident T2D risk.
