Objectives: Numerous diseases and disorders are associated with mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations, among which m.1555A > G and m.1494C > T mutations in the 12 S ribosomal RNA gene contribute to aminoglycoside-induced and nonsyndromic hearing loss worldwide.
Methods: A total of 76,842 qualified non-invasive prenatal (NIPT) samples were subjected to mtDNA mutation and haplogroup analysis.
Results: We detected 181 m.1555A > G and m.1494C > T mutations, 151 of which were subsequently sequenced for full-length mitochondrial genome verification. The positive predictive values for the m.1555A > G and m.1494C > T mutations were 90.78% and 90.00%, respectively, a performance comparable to that attained with newborn hearing screening. Furthermore, mitochondrial haplogroup analysis revealed that the 12 S rRNA 1555A > G mutation was enriched in sub-haplotype D5[p = 0, OR = 4.6706(2.81-7.78)].
Conclusions: Our findings indicate that the non-invasive prenatal testing of cell-free DNA obtained from maternal plasma can successfully detect m.1555A > G and m.1494C > T mutations.

The effect of FTO rs9939609 polymorphism on the association between colorectal cancer and dietary fiber.
Front Nutr

Department of Community Nutrition, School of Nutrition and Food Sciences, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.
Background: Gene polymorphisms may explain the controversy on the association between colorectal cancer (CRC) and dietary fibers. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) rs9939609 polymorphism on the association between colorectal cancer and dietary fiber.
Methods: This case-control study was conducted on 160 CRC cases and 320 healthy controls in Tehran, Iran.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the association of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) by focusing on a specific gene, TRIM26, and its genetic variant, rs117565607_A.
- Researchers conducted targeted sequencing in 40 NPC patients and replicated findings in over 1,000 cases, discovering that the SNP showed a strong link to NPC risk and correlated with lower TRIM26 expression in cancerous tissues.
- The research also found that the transcription factor Yin Yang 1 (YY1) interacts differently with the alleles of rs117565607, suggesting that TRIM26's downregulation is connected to a reduced immune response in NPC patients.
Toll-like receptor 4 and inducible nitric oxide synthase gene polymorphisms are associated with Type 2 diabetes.

Background: The toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and inducible nitric oxide synthase are proteins from the innate immune system that, when activated, can induce insulin resistance. Polymorphisms in these genes, TLR4 and NOS2, respectively, could affect the immune response, as well as the prevalence of Type 2 diabetes (T2DM).
Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate the contribution of four polymorphisms (two from TLR4 and two from NOS2) to susceptibility to T2DM in a southeast Brazilian population.

Malaria causes more than one million deaths annually, worldwide. Understanding the genetic defenses against this disease is an important challenge for science. We know that the long-term presence of endemic malaria has led to a prevalence of the beta degrees 39 heterozygous thalassemia mutation in the two islands of Corsica and Sardinia.

Thrombophilia and hypofibrinolysis have been implicated in the pathogenesis of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI), a multivalent protease inhibitor, is an important regulator of the tissue factor-mediated blood coagulation pathway. Mutations of the TFPI gene can increase the risk of thrombin generation and venous thrombosis.
