Background: The FunGen-xQTL project has significantly advanced genetics by developing and exploring novel quantitative trait loci (QTL) types in human brains, enriching our understanding of complex neurological disease etiology. We broadened the scope of epigenomic QTL analysis, integrating histone acetylation QTLs (haQTLs) and methylation QTLs (mQTLs) that affect multiple histone acetylation peaks or methylation CpG sites spatially. Additionally, we investigated a new category of splicing QTLs (sQTLs) implicated in nonsense-mediated decay (NMD).

Portable sensor technologies are indispensable in personalized healthcare and environmental monitoring as they enable the continuous tracking of key analytes. Human sweat contains valuable physiological information, and previously developed noninvasive sweat-based sensors have effectively monitored single or multiple biomarkers. By successfully detecting biochemicals in sweat, portable sensors could also significantly broaden their application scope, encompassing non-biological fluids commonly encountered in daily life, such as mineral water.

To broaden our understanding of bradyarrhythmias and conduction disease, we performed common variant genome-wide association analyses in up to 1.3 million individuals and rare variant burden testing in 460,000 individuals for sinus node dysfunction (SND), distal conduction disease (DCD) and pacemaker (PM) implantation. We identified 13, 31 and 21 common variant loci for SND, DCD and PM, respectively.

Histone methylation, a crucial aspect of epigenetics, intricately involves specialized enzymes such as G9a, a histone methyltransferase (HMT) catalyzing the methylation of histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9) and H3K27. Apart from histone modification, G9a regulates essential cellular processes such as deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) replication, damage repair, and gene expression via modulating DNA methylation patterns. The dysregulation and overexpression of G9a are intricately linked to cancer initiation, progression, and metastasis, making it a compelling target for anticancer therapy.

This study, grounded in empathy theory, employs natural language processing and machine learning algorithms to explore the factors influencing patient satisfaction in online healthcare services, particularly the impact of doctor-patient empathy.
Methods: Utilizing the three dimensions of the Jefferson Scale of Physician Empathy, seven variables were extracted from patient-doctor dialogs as independent variables, with patient satisfaction as the dependent variable.
