Vaccine immunogenicity is influenced by the vaccinee's genetic background. Here, we perform a genome-wide association study of vaccine-induced SARS-CoV-2-specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody titers and T cell immune responses in 1,559 mRNA-1273 and 537 BNT162b2 vaccinees of Japanese ancestry. SARS-CoV-2-specific antibody titers are associated with the immunoglobulin heavy chain (IGH) and major histocompatibility complex (MHC) locus, and T cell responses are associated with MHC. The lead variants at IGH contain a population-specific missense variant (rs1043109-C; p.Leu192Val) in the immunoglobulin heavy constant gamma 1 gene (IGHG1), with a strong decreasing effect (β = -0.54). Antibody-titer-associated variants modulate circulating immune regulatory proteins (e.g., LILRB4 and FCRL6). Age-related hematopoietic expanded mosaic chromosomal alterations (mCAs) affecting MHC and IGH also impair antibody production. MHC-/IGH-affecting mCAs confer infectious and immune disease risk, including sepsis and Graves' disease. Impacts of expanded mosaic loss of chromosomes X/Y on these phenotypes were examined. Altogether, both germline and somatic mutations contribute to adaptive immunity functions.

Soybean mosaic virus (SMV), a pathogen responsible for inducing leaf mosaic or necrosis symptoms, significantly compromises soybean seed yield and quality. According to the classification system in the United States, SMV is categorized into seven distinct strains (G1 to G7). In this study, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) in GAPIT3 using four analytical models (MLM, MLMM, FarmCPU, and BLINK) on 218 soybean accessions.

Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) testing against chromosome 12 centromere (CEN12) is routinely included in the work-up of patients with suspected chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis (MBL). However, incidental findings can occur and be challenging. : Interphase and metaphase FISH analyses with various probes, including CEN12 probes from different vendors, and conventional cytogenetics were applied.

Jumping translocations and jumping-like translocations constitute a rare category of complex chromosomal rearrangements, which are primarily observed in hematologic disorders and solid tumors. This study outlines a complex structural mosaic rearrangement involving a single recipient chromosome and three distinct donor chromosomes, with varying patterns of mosaicism observed across different cell lines. The rearrangement was confirmed by karyotyping, FISH, and array-CGH.
