Due to the inconsistent findings from various studies, the role of gene polymorphisms in the renin-angiotensin system in influencing the development of cardiomyopathy remains unclear. In this study, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to summarize the findings regarding the impact of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) I/D, angiotensinogen (AGT) M235T, and angiotensin II Type 1 receptor (AGTR1) A1166C gene polymorphisms in patients with cardiomyopathy. We performed a comprehensive search of several electronic databases, including PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science, covering articles published from the time of database creation to April 17, 2023. Studies on the assessment of genetic polymorphisms in genes related to the renin-angiotensin system in relation to cardiomyopathy were included. The primary outcome was cardiomyopathy. Risk of bias was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale scale. The meta-analysis includes 19 studies with 4,052 cases and 5,592 controls. The ACE I/D polymorphisms were found to be associated with cardiomyopathy (allelic model D vs I: OR = 1.29, 95CI% = 1.08-1.52; dominant model DD+ID vs II: OR = 1.43, 95CI% = 1.01-2.02; recessive model DD vs ID+II: OR = 0.79, 95CI% = 0.64-0.98). AGT M235T polymorphism and cardiomyopathy were not significantly correlated (allelic model T vs M: OR = 1.26, 95CI% = 0.96-1.66; dominant model TT+MT vs MM: OR = 1.30, 95CI% = 0.98-1.73; recessive model TT vs MT+MM: OR = 0.63, 95CI% = 0.37-1.07). AGTR1 polymorphism and cardiomyopathy were not significantly associated under allelic model A vs C (OR = 0.69, 95CI% = 0.46-1.03) and recessive model AA vs CA+CC (OR = 0.89, 95CI% = 0.34-2.30), but under the dominant model AA+CA vs CC (OR = 0.51, 95CI% = 0.38-0.68). The current meta-analysis reveals that polymorphisms in ACE I/D may be a genetic risk factor for cardiomyopathy. There is an association between AGTR1 gene polymorphisms and risk of cardiomyopathy under the specific model.

Disease networks offer a potential road map of connections between diseases. Several studies have created disease networks where diseases are connected either based on shared genes or Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) associations. However, it is still unclear to which degree SNP-based networks map to empirical, co-observed diseases within a different, general, adult study population spanning over a long time period.

Introduction: Hypoalgesic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) may provide critical insights into human abdominal pain. This condition was previously associated with homozygosity for a polymorphism (rs6795970, A1073V; 1073 val/val ) related to Na v 1.8, a voltage-gated sodium channel preferentially expressed on nociceptors.

Importance: Patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) may develop adult rheumatic diseases later in life, and prolonged or recurrent disease activity is often associated with substantial disability; therefore, it is important to identify patients with JIA at high risk of developing adult rheumatic diseases and provide specialized attention and preventive care to them.
Objective: To elucidate the full extent of the genetic association of JIA with adult rheumatic diseases, to improve treatment strategies and patient outcomes for patients at high risk of developing long-term rheumatic diseases.
Design, Setting, And Participants: In this genetic association study of 4 disease genome-wide association study (GWAS) cohorts from 2013 to 2024 (JIA, rheumatoid arthritis [RA], systemic lupus erythematosus [SLE], and systemic sclerosis [SSc]), patients in the JIA cohort were recruited from the US, Australia, and Norway (with a UK cohort included in the meta-analyzed cohort), while patients in the other 3 cohorts were recruited from US and Western European countries.

Some studies have shown an association between dyslipidemia and diabetic neuropathy (DN), but the genetic association has not been clarified. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the genetic causal association between dyslipidemia and DN through a Mendelian randomization (MR) approach. Genetic causal associations between total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) and DN were investigated by MR to provide a basis for the prevention and treatment of DN.

In the present study 1,709 cattle, including 1,118 Drakensberger (DRB), 377 Nguni (NGI), and 214 Tuli (TUL), were genotyped using the GeneSeek® Genomic Profiler™ 150 K bovine SNP panel. A genomic data set of 122,632 quality-filtered single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were used to identify selection signatures within breeds based on conserved runs of homozygosity (ROH) and heterozygosity (ROHet) estimated with the detectRUNS R package. The mean number of ROH per animal varied across breeds ranging from 36.
