Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are critical determinants of disease susceptibility, pathogenesis, and drug response, underscoring the need for their accurate monitoring in clinical practice. In this study, we propose a novel apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotyping method for the rapid and precise identification of six genotypes (ε2/ε2, ε3/ε3, ε4/ε4, ε2/ε3, ε2/ε4, and ε3/ε4). The method utilizes restriction endonucleases AflIII and HaeII to selectively cleave the rs429358 and rs7412 sites, thereby generating distinct double-stranded DNA fragments.

Background Aims: The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) locus is implicated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) among chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) carriers. We investigated associations of HLA variants, amino acid polymorphisms, zygosity, and evolutionary divergence (HED) with HBV-related HCC in Han Chinese and explored biological mechanisms.
Approach Results: We examined the associations of HLA variants (imputed 4-digit classical alleles and amino acid polymorphisms), zygosity, and HED with HBV-related HCC in a discovery set (706 HBV-related HCC cases, 6,197 chronic HBV carriers in Taiwan).

Background: RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) is a powerful tool for transcriptome profiling, enabling integrative studies of expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL). As it identifies fewer genetic variants than DNA sequencing (DNA-seq), reference panel-based genotype imputation is often required to enhance its utility.
Results: This study evaluated the accuracy of genotype imputation using SNPs called from RNA-seq data (RNA-SNPs).

Cancer genomes have a complicated landscape of mutations, including large-scale rearrangements known as structural variants (SVs). These SVs can disrupt genes or regulatory elements, playing a critical role in cancer development and progression. Despite their importance, accurate identification of somatic structural variants (SVs) remains a significant bottleneck in cancer genomics.
