Numerous tools are available for PRS calculation, each applying different strategies to account for linkage disequilibrium and effect size shrinkage. No single tool is inherently superior. Therefore, multiple tools should be tested to identify the one that best suits the research question. Additionally, challenges such as population stratification and PRS portability further complicate the field. Here, we developed STREAM-PRS, a PRS pipeline designed to calculate scores using five popular tools: PRSice-2, PRS-CS, LDpred2, lassosum, and lassosum2.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>STREAM-PRS first computes scores under various settings in a training dataset. The selected variants are subsequently used for score calculation in the test dataset, followed by PC correction and standardization to improve portability across different centers. Finally, the pipeline determines the best PRS tool and settings based on the variance explained (R<sup>2</sup>) in the test dataset. To demonstrate this PRS pipeline, we applied it to an in-house inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) cohort consisting of 3192 IBD cases and 822 controls. In total, 472 scores were created using The 1000 Genomes non-Finnish European subpopulation as training data and applied to UK Biobank data as the test dataset.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Using STREAM-PRS for 472 scores across the 5 PRS tools with 404 individuals in the training and 1000 individuals in the test dataset takes approximately 20 h to complete. For IBD, lassosum was identified as the best-performing tool with optimal settings as follows: a shrinkage value of 0.7 and a lambda value of 0.008859. Applying this optimized PRS to our in-house IBD dataset (validation) resulted in an R<sup>²</sup> of 0.203 and an AUC of 0.75. Further, the PRS showed a high positive predictive value of 0.905 but a low negative predictive value of 0.341. This suggests that the PRS is effective in identifying individuals at high risk but might be less reliable in excluding lower risk individuals.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Overall, STREAM-PRS provides an efficient framework for selecting the best PRS calculation strategy and helps bridge the portability gap within the PRS field.

While advanced data-driven methods can outperform analyses of conventional ECG features for some tasks, they often lack interpretability. Variational autoencoders (VAEs), a form of unsupervised machine learning, can address this limitation by extracting ECG features that are both comprehensive and interpretable, known as latent factors. These latent factors provide a low-dimensional representation optimised to capture the full informational content of the ECG. The aim of this study was to develop a deep learning model to learn these latent ECG features, and to use this optimised feature set in genetic analyses to identify fundamental determinants of cardiac electrical function. This approach has the potential to expand our understanding of cardiac electrophysiology by uncovering novel phenotypic and genetic relationships.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;Our novel VAE model was trained on a dataset comprising over one million secondary care median beat ECGs, with external validation in the UK Biobank (UKB). We performed common and rare variant association studies for VAE latent factors and conventional ECG traits on quality-controlled UKB data. Associated genetic variants were compared to loci for conventional ECG parameters available in the UKB and literature. Loci were considered novel if they were not previously associated with ECG traits in the GWAS Catalog and showed no known associations in nearby genes based on literature review. Novel GWAS associations were validated in a withheld subset of the UKB cohort. Additionally, we compared the associations of the VAE latent factors and conventional ECG traits with phenotypic traits, disease codes, and echocardiographic traits.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The VAE identified 20 independent latent factors that captured ECG morphology with high accuracy (mean Pearson correlation: 0.95). GWAS of latent factors identified 65 unique loci, including 27 novel regions not associated with conventional ECG parameters in the same dataset. Six novel loci were not associated with the ECG in previous larger GWAS studies, including genes implicated in cardiac function and remodelling. Rare variant analysis identified seven additional genes with links to cardiac electrophysiology and remodelling. Phenotypic analyses revealed stronger and more comprehensive associations for latent factors compared to conventional traits, particularly for echocardiographic measures and cardiac phenotypes. Visualisations of latent factor alterations highlighted the interpretability of this approach.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusions: &lt;/strong&gt;Our study shows that the VAE provides a valuable tool for advancing our understanding of cardiac function and its genetic underpinnings, outperforming traditional approaches in genetic and phenotypic discovery.","PeriodicalId":12645,"journal":{"name":"Genome Medicine","volume":"17 1","pages":"118"},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2025-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12512816/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145258141","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Prominent tissue infiltration of monocytes led to upregulated mmu-mir-1938 and mmu-mir-22 expression and in classical monocytes activated mmu-mir-221 ~ 222, mmu-mir-511, and mmu-mir-155 gene loci, confirmed by bulk nascent transcriptomics data from ex vivo macrophage cultures. Overall, the monocyte-associated changes in miRNA expression represented the most significant target gene associations in the disease-trajectory translatome profiles.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>We demonstrate that miRNA gene transcriptional activity is widely impacted in immune cells by aging and during disease development and further identify the corresponding translatome signature of inflamed adipose tissue.</p>","PeriodicalId":12645,"journal":{"name":"Genome Medicine","volume":"17 1","pages":"112"},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2025-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12502174/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145238488","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Whole genome sequencing (WGS) as a first diagnostic approach is expected to achieve a higher diagnostic yield than the French national reference strategies (RefStrategy) (fragile X expansion testing, chromosomal microarray analysis, and 44 ID genes panel), given its broad and more homogeneous coverage, its ability to identify copy number, structural and intergenic/deep intronic events.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>DEFIDIAG is a national, prospective pilot investigation, carried out in the framework of the French initiative for genomic medicine (Plan France Médecine Génomique 2025), aimed at comparing the diagnostic yield of WGS trio analysis (WGS-trio) (index case, father, mother) with the RefStrategy in real-life conditions of clinical and laboratory workflows. Both strategies were applied in a blinded fashion in 1239 ID probands (50% were already-tested, 50% were never-tested) with no definitive genetic diagnosis. Among them, a subgroup of 187 patients were randomized to undergo WGS-solo (proband only) in addition to WGS-trio and RefStrategy.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Four hundred forty two likely pathogenic/pathogenic single-nucleotide variants were identified (for 231 genes) as well as 171 variants of uncertain significance warranting clinical or functional reassessment for a potential reclassification (VUS +) (for 142 genes), 79 likely pathogenic/pathogenic copy number variants and 10 likely pathogenic/pathogenic structural variants. The diagnostic yield for likely pathogenic/pathogenic variants increased from 17.3% with the RefStrategy to 41.9% with WGS-trio in the never-tested patient cohort. An increase of 13.9% was observed in all categories by adding the VUS + , thus raising the yield to 56% for WGS-trio. Overall, WGS-solo enabled the identification of likely pathogenic/pathogenic variants in 29.9% of cases (increasing to 41.1% when including VUS +) compared to 21.9% with the RefStrategy. In addition, following recent reports of de novo variants in the non-coding spliceosomal RNU4-2 gene as a common cause of ID, this gene was subsequently analyzed, leading to the identification of pathogenic de novo variants in 7 patients.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>As a first line test for ID diagnosis, WGS (including for solo situations) proved to be more effective than the reference strategy, in the context of real-life hospital settings in France.</p><p><strong>Trial registration: </strong>Prospectively registered with ClinicalTrials.gov under the identifier NCT04154891 (07/11/2019).</p>","PeriodicalId":12645,"journal":{"name":"Genome Medicine","volume":"17 1","pages":"110"},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2025-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12495801/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145225117","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
