AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Structural variants (SVs) are known to have large functional impacts on phenotypes of agricultural interest, but they have yet to be routinely used for GWAS. Apart from the difficulty in obtaining high-quality SV genotype data for large populations, one of the main hurdles to using SVs for GWAS lies in formatting of genotype data for use with popular GWAS programs. This protocol describes how typical SV genotype data can be formatted for input to three GWAS programs commonly used by the plant genetics community: TASSEL, GAPIT, and mrMLM.

A cross-tissue transcriptome-wide association study identifies new susceptibility genes for benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a prevalent urinary system disorder. Despite evidence of a significant genetic component from previous studies, the specific pathogenic genes and biological mechanisms are still largely unknown. The study utilized the FinnGen R10 dataset, encompassing 177,901 individuals (36,601 cases and 141,300 controls), and the GTEx v8 EQTLs files to conduct single-tissue and cross-tissue transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS).

The evolutionary impact of epigenetic variation depends on its transgenerational stability and source - whether genetically determined, environmentally induced, or due to spontaneous, genotype-independent mutations. Here, we evaluate current approaches for investigating an independent role of epigenetics in evolution, pinpointing methodological challenges. We further identify opportunities arising from integrating epigenetic data with population genetic analyses in natural populations.

Tangier disease is an extremely rare autosomal recessive monogenic disorder caused by mutations in the ATP binding cassette transporter A1 gene (ABCA1). It is characterized by severe deficiency or absence of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and apolipoprotein A-1 (ApoA1), with highly variable clinical presentations depending on cholesterol accumulation in macrophages across different tissues. We report a case of a 47-year-old man with very low HDL-C and very high triglyceride levels, initially attributed to the patient's metabolic syndrome, alcohol abuse, and splenomegaly.

Background: The associations of early-onset coronary heart disease (CHD) and genetic susceptibility with incident dementia and brain white matter hyperintensity (WMH) remain unclear. Elucidation of this problem could promote understanding of the neurocognitive impact of early-onset CHD and provide suggestions for the prevention of dementia.
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate whether observed and genetically predicted early-onset CHD were related to subsequent dementia and WMH volume.

Background: Imaging studies showed early atrophy of the cholinergic basal forebrain in prodromal sporadic Alzheimer's disease and reduced posterior basal forebrain functional connectivity in amyloid positive individuals with subjective cognitive decline. Similar investigations in familial cases of Alzheimer's disease are still lacking.
Objectives: To test whether presenilin-1 E280A mutation carriers have reduced basal forebrain functional connectivity and whether this is linked to amyloid pathology.
