Background: Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) is characterized by serous detachment of the central neurosensory retina and it is one of the most common retinal disorders. Various genetic polymorphisms have been associated with CSCR development.
Methods: The aim of our study was to investigate the potential association between (rs10490924) and (rs2070951 and rs5522) genes polymorphisms and CSCR development in a well defined Greek cohort for the first time in literature. We enrolled, in our case-control study, 48 CSCR patients and 137 controls. The (rs10490924) and (rs2070951 and rs5522) genes polymorphisms were analyzed using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) assays.
Results: In our study, we found significant associations between rs10490924 and rs2070951 single nucleotide polymorphisms and CSCR development. Specifically, the GTrs10490924 genotype frequency of the gene was found to be significantly associated with risk of CSCR and T allele of rs10490924 gene was also found to increase risk for CSCR. The genotype frequency GC and CC of rs2070951 gene were observed more frequently in CSCR patients than controls and C allele of rs2070951 gene was also observed more frequently in CSCR patients than controls. Rs5522 of gene polymorphism was not found to be significantly associated with CSCR.
Conclusion: Our findings showed, for the first time in a Greek population, that SNPs in the and genes are significantly associated with risk of CSCR. The results of this study support the involvement of extracellular matrix ( gene) and mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) in the pathogenesis of CSCR.

Dopamine genetic risk scores and psychiatric symptoms: Interacting risk factors for impulse control behaviours in de novo Parkinson's disease.

Department of Health, Medical and Neuropsychology, Leiden University, Leiden, The Netherlands.
Up to 45% of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) experience impulse control disorders (ICDs), characterized by a loss of voluntary control over impulses, drives or temptations. This study aimed to investigate whether previously identified genetic and psychiatric risk factors interact towards the development of ICDs in PD. A total of 278 de novo PD patients (ICD-free at enrollment) were selected from the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative database.

Background: DNA hypomethylation and uracil misincorporation into DNA, both of which have a very important correlation with colorectal carcinogenesis. Folate plays a crucial role in DNA synthesis, acting as a coenzyme in one-carbon metabolism, which involves the synthesis of purines, pyrimidines, and methyl groups. MTHFR, a key enzyme in folate metabolism, has been widely studied in relation to neural tube defects and hypertension, but its role in colorectal cancer remains underexplored.

Background: Left-right (LR) asymmetry disorders present a complex etiology, with genetic factors emerging as a primary contributor. This study aims to explore the genetic underpinnings of chromosomal variants and individual genes in fetuses afflicted with prenatal LR asymmetry disorder.
Methods: Through a retrospective analysis conducted between 2020 and 2023 at Tongji Hospital, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, genetic outcomes of LR asymmetric disorder were scrutinized utilizing copy number variation sequencing (CNV-seq) and whole exome sequencing (WES) methodologies.

Highly variable response shown by individuals against mosquito-borne infections suggests that host genetic factors play an important role in determining mosquito-borne disease onset. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the genetic risk of these diseases in specific populations. The current study aimed to determine the percentage of individuals in the general population carrying mosquito-borne disease susceptibility and protection-related variants.

Background: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified susceptibility loci for colorectal cancer (CRC), but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study investigates functional genetic variants in promoter regions of Leucine Rich Repeat Containing 6 (LRRC6) at 8q24 and Myotubularin Related Protein 10 (MTMR10) at 15q13.3 and their association with CRC susceptibility.
