Here, we report 5 patients from 3 unrelated Egyptian families in whom 4 patients showed the severe end of the spectrum displaying neonatal respiratory distress, hypotonia and chronic diarrhea while one patient presented with the mild form displaying moderate intellectual disability and myopathy. In addition, we observed distal arthrogryposis and nonspecific structural brain anomalies in all our patients. Interestingly, cerebellar and brainstem hypoplasia were noted in one patient. Whole exome sequencing identified three novel homozygous variants in the MADD gene: two likely pathogenic [c.4321delC p.(Gln1441ArgfsTer46) and c.2620 C > T p.(Arg874Ter)] and one variant of uncertain significance (c.4307 G > A, p.Arg1436Gln). The variants segregated with the disease in all available family members. Our findings confirm that arthrogryposis, genital, cardiac and structural brain anomalies are manifestations of MADD which expand the spectrum of MADD-related neurodevelopmental disorder. Moreover, they further highlight the convergence of MADD variants on different organ systems leading to complex phenotypes.","PeriodicalId":16077,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Human Genetics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s10038-024-01236-7.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140065255","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Over the last decade, genomic research has indeed boosted our understanding in the molecular basis of ASD and genes associated with both autosomal dominant and recessive patterns of inheritance have been described with a wide range of expressivity. Here we describe the molecular characterization of a cohort of 162 patients displaying isolated or syndromic congenital ocular dysgenesis. Samples were analyzed with diverse techniques, such as direct sequencing, multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification, and whole exome sequencing (WES), over 20 years. Our data reiterate the notion that PAX6 alterations are primarily associated with ASD, mostly aniridia, since the majority of the cohort (66.7%) has a pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant in the PAX6 locus. Unexpectedly, a high fraction of positive samples (20.3%) displayed deletions involving the 11p13 locus, either partially/totally involving PAX6 coding region or abolishing its critical regulatory region, underlying its significance. Most importantly, the use of WES has allowed us to both assess variants in known ASD genes (i.e., CYP1B1, ITPR1, MAB21L1, PXDN, and PITX2) and to identify rarer phenotypes (i.e., MIDAS, oculogastrointestinal-neurodevelopmental syndrome and Jacobsen syndrome). Our data clearly suggest that WES allows expanding the analytical portfolio of ocular dysgenesis, both isolated and syndromic, and that is pivotal for the differential diagnosis of those conditions in which there may be phenotypic overlaps and in general in ASD.","PeriodicalId":16077,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Human Genetics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s10038-024-01237-6.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140065297","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, a further 43 protein-coding genes were significant with an uncorrected p value of <0.001. Exome sequence data has become available for a further 270,000 participants and weighted burden analysis to test for association with hyperlipidaemia was carried out in this sample for the 47 genes highlighted by the previous study. There was no evidence to implicate IFITM5 but LDLR, PCSK9, APOC3, ANGPTL3, ABCG5 and NPC1L1 were all statistically significant after correction for multiple testing. These six genes were also all exome-wide significant in the combined sample of 470,000 participants. Variants impairing function of LDLR and ABCG5 were associated with increased risk whereas variants in the other genes were protective.

This study aimed to find new drug targets for GERD and Barrett’s esophagus (BE). We obtained genetic instruments for GERD, BE, and 2004 plasma proteins from recently published genome-wide association studies (GWAS), and Mendelian randomization (MR) was employed to explore potential drug targets. We further winnowed down MR-prioritized proteins through replication, reverse causality testing, colocalization analysis, phenotype scanning, and Phenome-wide MR. Furthermore, we constructed a protein-protein interaction network, unveiling potential associations among candidate proteins. Simultaneously, we acquired mRNA expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) data from another GWAS encompassing four different tissues to identify additional drug targets. Meanwhile, we searched drug databases to evaluate these targets. Under Bonferroni correction (P < 4.8 × 10−5), we identified 11 plasma proteins significantly associated with GERD. Among these, 7 are protective proteins (MSP, GPX1, ERBB3, BT3A3, ANTR2, CCM2, and DECR2), while 4 are detrimental proteins (TMEM106B, DUSP13, C1-INH, and LINGO1). Ultimately, C1-INH and DECR2 successfully passed the screening process and exhibited similar directional causal effects on BE. Further analysis of eQTLs highlighted 4 potential drug targets, including EDEM3, PBX3, MEIS1-AS3, and NME7. The search of drug databases further supported our conclusions. Our study indicated that the plasma proteins C1-INH and DECR2, along with 4 genes (EDEM3, PBX3, MEIS1-AS3, and NME7), may represent potential drug targets for GERD and BE, warranting further investigation.","PeriodicalId":16077,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Human Genetics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140001542","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This abundance of data offers unprecedented opportunities for predictive modeling in precision medicine, but also presents formidable challenges in data analysis and interpretation. Traditional machine learning (ML) techniques have been partly successful in generating predictive models for omics analysis but exhibit limitations in handling potential relationships within the data for more accurate prediction. This review explores a revolutionary shift in predictive modeling through the application of deep learning (DL), specifically convolutional neural networks (CNNs). Using transformation methods such as DeepInsight, omics data with independent variables in tabular (table-like, including vector) form can be turned into image-like representations, enabling CNNs to capture latent features effectively. This approach not only enhances predictive power but also leverages transfer learning, reducing computational time, and improving performance. However, integrating CNNs in predictive omics data analysis is not without challenges, including issues related to model interpretability, data heterogeneity, and data size. Addressing these challenges requires a multidisciplinary approach, involving collaborations between ML experts, bioinformatics researchers, biologists, and medical doctors. This review illuminates these complexities and charts a course for future research to unlock the full predictive potential of CNNs in omics data analysis and related fields.","PeriodicalId":16077,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Human Genetics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-02-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s10038-024-01231-y.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139996432","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although ~80 genetic susceptibility variants were reported in psoriasis, many loci showed population-specific associations, warranting the need for more population-specific association studies in psoriasis. We determined the association of forty single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) among 2136 psoriasis patients and normal individuals from eastern India. We investigated the expression of corresponding genes and evaluated the protein structure stability for the genes with susceptible coding variants. We found fifteen SNPs significantly associated with psoriasis, while additional three SNPs showed significant association when we classified the patients based on the presence of HLA-Cw6 allele. Epistatic interaction between HLA-Cw6 and other associated loci showed significant association with the SNPs at PSORS1 region, along with other five SNPs outside PSORS1. Three genes showed significant differential expression in psoriatic tissues compared to the adjacent normal skin tissues but were not differential when classified the patients based on their genotypes. SNP rs495337 at SPATA2 (Spermatogenesis Associated 2) showed a 1.2-fold increased risk among the HLA-Cw6 patients compared to combined samples. We found significant downregulation of SPATA2 among the patients with risk genotypes and HLA-Cw6 allele compared to the non-risk genotypes. Protein structure stability analysis showed reduced structural stability for all the mutant residues caused by the associated coding variants. Our study evaluated the genetic associations of psoriasis-susceptible variants in India and evaluated the possible functional significance of these associated variants in psoriasis.","PeriodicalId":16077,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Human Genetics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139972188","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
