Here, we investigated the contribution of rare coding variants to DDs by analyzing 13,452 individuals with DDs, 18,613 of their family members, and 3,943 controls using a combination of family-based and case/control analyses. In line with previous studies of other neuropsychiatric traits, we found a significant burden of rare (allele frequency &lt; 1×10^-5) predicted loss-of-function (pLoF) and damaging missense variants, the vast majority of which are inherited from apparently unaffected parents. These predominantly inherited burdens are strongest in DD-associated genes or those intolerant of pLoF variation in the general population, however we estimate that ∼10% of the excess of these variants in DD cases is found within the DD-associated genes, implying many more risk loci are yet to be identified. We found similar, but attenuated, burdens when comparing the unaffected parents of individuals with DDs to controls, indicating that parents have elevated risk of DDs due to these rare variants, which are overtransmitted to their affected children. We estimate that 6-8.5% of the population attributable risk for DDs are due to rare pLoF variants in those genes intolerant of pLoF variation in the general population. Finally, we apply a Bayesian framework to combine evidence from these analyses of rare, mostly-inherited variants with prior <em>de novo</em> mutation burden analyses to highlight an additional 25 candidate DD- associated genes for further follow up.","PeriodicalId":501375,"journal":{"name":"medRxiv - Genetic and Genomic Medicine","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142192171","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A CRISPR/Cas9-edited homozygous COA5 knockout U2OS cell line with similar biochemical profile was generated to interrogate the functional role of the human COA5 protein. Mitochondrial complexome profiling pinpointed a role for COA5 in early CIV assembly, more specifically, its involvement in the stage between MTCO1 maturation and the incorporation of MTCO2.

Recent studies indicate that the phenotype and genotype of LS-associated CRCs vary depending on the specific MMR gene mutated. Here, we investigated whether the immune profiles of LS-associated CRCs differ based on the MMR gene defects. <strong>Methods</strong>: Tissue material from 18 <em>MLH1</em>-, 16 <em>MSH2</em>-, 40 <em>MSH6</em>-, and 23 <em>PMS2</em>-mutated CRCs and 35 sporadic MMR-d CRCs were included in the study.

Infiltrating T cell levels negatively correlated with the number of mutations at coding microsatellite sequences, particularly in <em>MLH1</em>-mutated CRCs. HLA class I defects were observed in 76% of all CRCs. These defects were more frequently accompanied by β2M defects in hereditary MMR-d CRCs (67%) compared to sporadic MMR-d CRCs (37%), and did not associate with the number of γδ T cells, which were present in CRCs from all MMR groups. PD-L1 expression in tumor cells was only detected in 8% of all CRCs. <strong>Conclusion</strong>: Our findings illustrate that, from an immunological perspective, there is no evidence of differing immunogenic features across MMR defects.

This study aimed to investigate the genetic association between PTSD and its corresponding brain circuitry components. We conducted a meta-analysis using the summary of PTSD genome-wide association studies (GWAS) from multiple cohorts to enhance statistical power (sample size = 306,400). Based on the result, and utilizing the lifetime trauma events (LTE) trait as a control for PTSD, we investigated the genetic association of PTSD and LTE with 9 brain structure traits related to the brain circuitry (4 cortical, 2 subcortical, and 3 white matter) by various methodologies, including heritability tissue enrichment analysis, global and local genetic correlations, polygenic overlap analysis, and causal inference. As a result, we discovered the enrichment of heritability for PTSD within circuitry-relevant brain regions such as the cingulate cortex and frontal cortex, and we identified genetic correlations between PTSD and these brain regions. We have observed a polygenic overlap and a total of 31 novel jointly significant genetic loci (conjunction FDR &lt; 0.05). These loci are involved in the process of DNA damage and repair as well as the pathway of neurodegenerative diseases. We also identified a potential causal relationship between PTSD and the surface area of the frontal pole.

GM1 is uniformly fatal and has no approved therapies, although clinical trials investigating gene therapy as a potential treatment for this condition are underway. Novel outcome measures or biomarkers demonstrating the longitudinal effects of GM1 and potential recovery due to therapeutic intervention are urgently needed to establish efficacy of potential therapeutics. One promising tool is differential tractography, a novel imaging modality utilizing serial diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) to quantify longitudinal changes in white matter microstructure. In this study, we present the novel use of differential tractography in quantifying the progression of GM1 alongside age-matched neurotypical controls. We analyzed 113 DWI scans from 16 GM1 patients and 32 age-matched neurotypical controls to investigate longitudinal changes in white matter pathology. GM1 patients showed white matter degradation evident by both the number and size of fiber tract loss. In contrast, neurotypical controls showed longitudinal white matter improvements as evident by both the number and size of fiber tract growth. We also corroborated these findings by documenting significant correlations between cognitive global impression (CGI) scores of clinical presentations and our differential tractography derived metrics in our GM1 cohort. Specifically, GM1 patients who lost more neuronal fiber tracts also had a worse clinical presentation. This result demonstrates the importance of differential tractography as an important biomarker for disease progression in GM1 patients with potential extension to other neurodegenerative diseases and therapeutic intervention.","PeriodicalId":501375,"journal":{"name":"medRxiv - Genetic and Genomic Medicine","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142192208","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the perceived utility and practicability of PGx for psychiatric treatment in youth remains underexplored. This study investigated youth-perceived barriers and attitudes towards the implementation of PGx testing to guide antidepressant treatment in primary care. Semi-structured focus groups and interviews were conducted with 17 participants aged between 18 to 24 years. These sessions were recorded and transcribed before thematic analysis was used to identify collective themes. Three key themes were identified, including attitudes towards the medication prescription process, concerns and attitudes towards PGx testing, and perceived barriers to its clinical implementation. Although PGx testing was positively perceived by most participants, all participants shared concerns about PGx testing. Participants voiced concerns about the financial impact of PGx testing, the potential for treatment delays, and the accuracy of PGx testing in guiding antidepressant treatment. Additionally, participants noted that the low awareness and willingness of general practitioners to incorporate PGx testing into routine practice could hinder successful clinical implementation. Prior to the implementation of PGx testing into Australian primary practices, it is essential to acknowledge patient perspectives and ensure that clinical practices remain patient-focused. This study highlights important considerations for integrating PGx testing into antidepressant pharmacotherapy and emphasizes the need for future research to address and mitigate youth-perceived barriers.","PeriodicalId":501375,"journal":{"name":"medRxiv - Genetic and Genomic Medicine","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142192210","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
