Background: N-acetyl-transferase 2 (NAT2) polymorphisms have been demonstrated to be associated with acute leukemia (AL); however, the results remain controversial. The present meta-analysis was performed to provide more precise results.
Methods: Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Wanfang databases were used to identify eligible studies. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to evaluate the strength of the association between NAT2 polymorphisms and AL risk.
Results: Increased risk was found under both heterozygous (OR 1.24, 95% CI 1.02-1.51) and recessive model (OR 1.28, 95% CI 1.06-1.55) for rs1801280. The slow acetylator phenotype (OR 1.22, 95% CI 1.07-1.40) also increased AL risk. Subgroup analysis demonstrated that rs1801280 increased AL risk under the recessive model (OR 1.14, 95% CI 0.93-1.41) in Caucasian population and the co-dominant (OR 1.77, 95% CI 1.40-2.23), homozygous (OR 3.06, 95% CI 1.88-4.99), dominant (OR 2.22, 95% CI 1.56-3.17), recessive model (OR 2.06, 95% CI 1.35-3.16) in the Mixed populations. Association between rs1799929 and decreased AL risk was found in the co-dominant (OR 0.82, 95% CI 0.70-0.97), homozygous (OR 0.65, 95% CI 0.46-0.93), heterozygous (OR 0.71, 95% CI 0.51-1.00), and the recessive model (OR 0.68, 95% CI 0.49-0.94) in the Caucasian group. As for rs1799931, the same effects were found in the co-dominant (OR 0.68, 95% CI 0.49-0.94) and the dominant model (OR 0.68, 95% CI 0.48-0.97) in the mixed group.
Conclusion: rs1801280 and the slow acetylator phenotype are risk factors for AL.

Primary carnitine deficiency (PCD) is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder caused by missense mutations in the SLC22A5 gene encoding the organic carnitine transporter novel type 2 (OCTN2). This study investigates the structural consequences of PCD-causing mutations, focusing on the N32S variant. Using an alpha-fold model, molecular dynamics simulations reveal altered interactions and dynamics suggesting potential mechanistic changes in carnitine transport.

Endotypes are characterized by the immunological, inflammatory, metabolic, and remodelling pathways that explain the mechanisms underlying the clinical presentation (phenotype) of a disease. Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) is a severe blistering disease caused by COL7A1 pathogenic variants. Although underscored by animal studies, the endotypes of human RDEB are poorly understood.

Background: There is still no conclusive understanding of whether the glucokinase regulator (GCKR) gene rs780094 and rs1260326 polymorphisms predispose to gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).
Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the effect of the GCKR polymorphisms on GDM susceptibility.
Methods: Seven literature databases were searched (from inception to February 17, 2024) to locate relevant studies included in further meta-analysis.

Background: The magnitude of inbreeding depression depends on the recessive burden of the individual, which can be traced back to the hidden (recessive) inbreeding load among ancestors. However, these ancestors carry different alleles at potentially deleterious loci and therefore there is individual variability of this inbreeding load. Estimation of the additive genetic value for inbreeding load is possible using a decomposition of inbreeding in partial inbreeding components due to ancestors.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked recessive disorder caused by mutations of the dystrophin gene, which spans 2.4 Mb on the X chromosome. Creatine kinase (CK) activity in blood and titin fragment levels in urine have been identified as biomarkers in DMD to monitor disease progression and evaluate therapeutic intervention.
