The prevalence of childhood obesity is increasing worldwide, along with the associated common comorbidities of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease in later life. Motivated by evidence for a strong genetic component, our prior genome-wide association study (GWAS) efforts for childhood obesity revealed 19 independent signals for the trait; however, the mechanism of action of these loci remains to be elucidated. To molecularly characterize these childhood obesity loci, we sought to determine the underlying causal variants and the corresponding effector genes within diverse cellular contexts.

T cell-based immunotherapies targeting antigens on tumor cells have shown efficacy as anti-cancer treatments. While neoantigens are created by somatic mutations acquired during tumorigenesis, allogeneic stem cell transplantation as treatment for hematological malignancies exploits minor histocompatibility antigens encoded by genetic differences between patients and donors. Screening methods to predict neoantigens and minor histocompatibility antigens typically consider only conventional antigens created by nonsynonymous mutations or polymorphisms coding for amino acid changes in canonical open reading frames (ORFs).

Background: Asthma is a heterogeneous disease with variable response to treatment. Genetic backgrounds are involved in the severity of type 2 asthma, but their effects on responses to biologics remain unknown. This study aimed to clarify the role of genetic factors in response to biologics in patients with severe asthma.

Department of Periodontology, Manav Rachna Dental College, School of Dental Sciences, MRIIRS, Faridabad, Haryana, India.

Background: The etiology of periodontitis is multifactorial, involving interactions between bacterial pathogens, host immune response, and environmental factors. Among the host immune factors, interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1α) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of periodontitis. Many studies have aimed to find the association between IL-1α and periodontitis in various populations worldwide.
