Background: Tuberculosis remains a global public health problem. Genetic polymorphisms may affect the susceptibility, clinical characteristics, and adverse drug reactions of patients with TB. The present study aimed to examine the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms of lncRNA-HNF1B-3:1 with the clinical manifestation of TB in a Western Chinese population.
Method: A total of 526 tuberculosis patients and 561 healthy subjects were recruited in Western China. The correlation between lnc-HNF1B-3:1 polymorphism and tuberculosis susceptibility was investigated. Moreover, the influence on adverse drug reactions following treatment was explored. A total of 7 SNPs within the lnc-HNF1B-3:1 locus was genotyped by the improved multiplex ligation detection reaction method.
Results: No significant associations were noted between TB susceptibility and the presence of all 7 SNPs of the lnc-HNF1B-3:1 as determined by single-locus analysis (All P > .05). The AA genotype of rs12939622 (in the dominant model) and the AA genotype of rs4262994 (in the recessive model) caused increased susceptibility of the subjects to fever (P < .001 and P = .008, respectively). The Rs2542670 G allele was associated with increased risk of thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, and chronic kidney damage following drug administration (P = .007, .029, .003, respectively).
Conclusion: The present study reported for the first time that the rs12939622, rs4262994 and rs2542670 genotypes in lnc-HNF1B-3:1 locus may influence the clinical manifestations of tuberculosis.

Large-scale gene-environment interaction (GxE) discovery efforts often involve analytical compromises for the sake of data harmonization and statistical power. Refinement of exposures, covariates, outcomes, and population subsets may be helpful to establish often-elusive replication and evaluate potential clinical utility. Here, we used additional datasets, an expanded set of statistical models, and interrogation of lipoprotein metabolism via nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based lipoprotein subfractions to refine a previously discovered GxE modifying the relationship between physical activity (PA) and HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C).

The study found a significant causal relationship between coffee intake and obsessive-compulsive disorder, showing a negative correlation. There was no causal relationship between coffee intake and other mental disorders. The sensitivity analysis test found no pleiotropy affecting the results, and no single nucleotide polymorphism had a major impact on the robustness of the results, indicating that the results are stable and reliable.

Background: The study aimed to detect the association between insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA-binding protein 2 (IGF2BP2) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) polymorphisms among type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Materials And Methods: This study involved 500 individuals; 250 obese DM cases and 250 healthy controls. The polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism was used to identify the genotype of the IGF2BP2 gene for the small nucleoproteins rs4402960 (G>T) and small nucleoproteins rs800795 (G>C).
Inactivation of disease alleles by allele-specific editing is a promising approach to treat dominant-negative genetic disorders, provided the causative gene is haplo-sufficient. We previously edited a dominant missense mutation with inactivating frameshifts and rescued disease-relevant phenotypes in induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived motor neurons. However, a multitude of different missense mutations cause disease.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS) with no definitive trigger. However, epidemiological studies indicate that environmental factors, such as infection with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and low vitamin D (Vit D) levels in genetically predisposed individuals, are important risk factors. One leading proposal is that EBV triggers MS via mechanisms such as molecular mimicry, where activated autoreactive B and T lymphocytes mistakenly target self-antigens.
