Understanding the genetic determinants of dyslipidemia can provide valuable information on the pathogenesis of CAD and aid in the development of early detection strategies. In this study, we used a Global Screening Array (GSA) to elucidate the genetic factors associated with dyslipidemia and their potential role in the prediction of CAD. We conducted a GSA-based association study in 265 subjects to identify the genetic loci associated with dyslipidemia traits using Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) and Logistic Regression (LR), Classification and Regression Tree (CART), and Manhattan plots. We identified an association between dyslipidemia and variants identified in genes such as JCAD, GLIS3, CD38, FN1, CELSR2, MTNR1B, GIPR, DYM, APOB, APOE, ADCY5. The MLR models explained 62%, 71%, and 81% of the variability in HDL, LDL, and triglycerides, respectively. The Area Under the Curve (AUC) values in the LR models of HDL, LDL, and triglycerides were 1.00, 0.94, and 0.95, respectively. CART models identified novel gene-gene interactions influencing the risk for dyslipidemia. To conclude, we have identified the association of 12 SNVs with dyslipidemia and demonstrated their clinical utility in four different models such as MLR, LR, CART, and Manhattan plots. The identified genetic variants and associated pathways shed light on the underlying biology of dyslipidemia and offer potential avenues for precision medicine strategies in the management of CAD.</p>","PeriodicalId":18259,"journal":{"name":"Mammalian Genome","volume":" ","pages":"632-643"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10508800","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

High-density genotyping platforms identify SNPs across animal genomes, increasing LD evaluation resolution for accurate analysis. This study aimed to evaluate the decay and magnitude of LD in a cohort of 81 crossbred dairy cattle using the GGP_HDv3_C Bead Chip. After quality control, 116,710 Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) across 2520.241 Mb of autosomes were retained. LD extent was assessed between autosomal SNPs within a 10 Mb range using the r<sup>2</sup> statistics. LD value declined as inter-marker distance increased. The average r<sup>2</sup> value was 0.24 for SNP pairs < 10 kb apart, decreasing to 0.13 for 50-100 kb distances. Minor allele frequency (MAF) and sample size significantly impact LD. Lower MAF thresholds result in smaller r<sup>2</sup> values, while higher thresholds show increased r<sup>2</sup> values. Additionally, smaller sample sizes exhibit higher average r<sup>2</sup> values, especially for larger physical distance intervals (> 50 kb) between SNP pairs. Effective population size and inbreeding coefficient were 150 and 0.028 for the present generation, indicating a decrease in genetic diversity over time. These findings imply that the utilization of high-density SNP panels and customized/breed-specific SNP panels represent a highly favorable approach for conducting genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and implementing genomic selection (GS) in the Bos indicus cattle breeds, whose genomes are still largely unexplored.

Indicine cattle breeds found throughout India are known for their higher heat tolerance and disease resilience. More breeds and more methods can provide a better understanding of the selection signature. So, we have worked on nine distinct cattle breeds utilizing seven different summary statistics, which is a fairly extensive approach. In this study, we carried out a thorough genome-wide investigation of selection signatures using bovine 50K SNP data. We have included the genotyped data of two taurine, two crossbreds, and five indicine cattle breeds, for a total of 320 animals. During the 1950s, these indicine (cebuine) cattle breeds were exported with the aim of enhancing the resilience of taurine breeds in Western countries. For this study, we employed seven summary statistics, including intra-population, i.e., Tajima's D, CLR, iHS, and ROH and inter-population statistics, i.e., F<sub>ST</sub>, XP-EHH, and Rsb. The NCBI database, PANTHER 17.0, and CattleQTL database were used for annotation after finding the important areas under selection. Some genes, including EPHA6, CTNNA2, NPFFR2, HS6ST3, NPR3, KCNIP4, LIPK, SDCBP, CYP7A1, NSMAF, UBXN2B, UGDH, UBE2K, and DAB1, were shown to be shared by three or more different approaches. Therefore, it gives evidence of the most intense selection in these areas. These genes are mostly linked to milk production and adaptability traits.

The primary endogenous syndrome affects the tail, ears, teats, coronary bands, claws and heels. The basis of clinical inflammation and necrosis has been substantiated by histopathology, metabolomic and liver transcriptomic. Considerable variation in SINS scores is evident in offspring of different boars under the same husbandry conditions. The high complexity of metabolic alterations and the influence of the boar led to the hypothesis of a polygenic architecture of SINS. This should be investigated by a genome-wide association study. For this purpose, 27 sows were simultaneously inseminated with mixed semen from two extreme boars. The mixed semen always contained ejaculate from a Pietrain boar classified as extremely SINS susceptible and additionally either the ejaculate from a Pietrain boar classified as SINS stable or from a Duroc boar classified as SINS stable. The 234 piglets were phenotyped on day 3 of life, sampled and genetically assigned to the respective boar. The piglets showed the expected genetic differentiation with respect to SINS susceptibility. The suspected genetic complexity was confirmed both in the number and genome-wide distribution of 221 significantly associated SNPs, and led to 49 candidate genes. As the SNPs were almost exclusively located in noncoding regions, functional nucleotides have not yet been identified.
