Background: Frailty is an emerging global burden of disease, characterized as an age-related clinical syndrome. Recent studies have suggested a potential link of circulating protein levels with the onset of frailty. This study aims to analyze the potential causal relationships of plasma proteins with frailty using a Mendelian Randomization (MR) study design.

Background: Microbiota-derived toxins indoxyl sulfate and hippuric acid were previously reported to be associated with altered pharmacokinetics of the immunosuppressant tacrolimus in liver transplant recipients, and ABC transporter proteins are likely to be involved in the transport of such substances, but the role has not been elucidated. The aim of this study was to assess the retention of indoxyl sulfate and hippuric acid in the plasma of liver transplantation subjects carrying different genotypes of and (changes in transporter activity due to genetic variation), and to explore whether genetic variation is involved in altering the relationship between microbe-derived toxins and tacrolimus pharmacokinetics.

Methods: Liver transplantation subjects treated with the immunosuppressive regimen tacrolimus, corticosteroids, and mycophyolate mofetil were included and divided into normal renal function group and chronic kidney disease group.

Background Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) is a key enzyme selectively expressed in unstable, rupture-prone atherosclerotic plaques. Previous research has established a strong link between the gene and the development of coronary artery disease (CAD). While traditional risk factors like cholesterol levels and blood pressure are valuable, there remains a need for more specific biomarkers to identify individuals at heightened risk of atherosclerosis before the onset of clinical symptoms.

Association of CASP8 rs3834129 and CTGF rs6918698 genotypes with susceptibility to colorectal cancer in a Mexican population.

Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) and Caspase 8 (CASP8) have been implicated in cancer development and progression. Variants such as CASP8 rs3834129 (-652 6N I/D) and CTGF rs6918698 (-945 C>G) have been associated with several cancers, although their association is still debated between populations. This study investigates the possible association between the CASP8 rs3834129 and CTGF rs6918698 variants with  colorectal cancer (CRC) in Mexican patients.

Background: Cell-free DNA (cfDNA), a broadly applicable biomarker commonly sourced from urine or blood, is extensively used for research and diagnostic applications. In various settings, genetic and epigenetic information is derived from cfDNA. However, a unified framework for its processing is lacking, limiting the universal application of innovative analysis strategies and the joining of data sets.
