The study screened a cohort of patients (n = 167) with primary male infertility in contrast to 210 normally fertile men using whole exome sequencing (WES). The expression analysis of the candidate genes based on public single cell sequencing data was performed using the R language Seurat package. No pathogenic copy number variations (CNVs) related to male infertility were identified using the the GATK-gCNV tool. Accordingly, variants of 17 known causative (five X-linked and twelve autosomal) genes, including ACTRT1, ADAD2, AR, BCORL1, CFAP47, CFAP54, DNAH17, DNAH6, DNAH7, DNAH8, DNAH9, FSIP2, MSH4, SLC9C1, TDRD9, TTC21A, and WNK3, were identified in 23 patients. Variants of 12 candidate (seven X-linked and five autosomal) genes were identified, among which CHTF18, DDB1, DNAH12, FANCB, GALNT3, OPHN1, SCML2, UPF3A, and ZMYM3 had altered fertility and semen characteristics in previously described knockout mouse models, whereas MAGEC1,RBMXL3, and ZNF185 were recurrently detected in patients with male factor infertility. The human testis single cell-sequencing database reveals that CHTF18, DDB1 and MAGEC1 are preferentially expressed in spermatogonial stem cells. DNAH12 and GALNT3 are found primarily in spermatocytes and early spermatids. UPF3A is present at a high level throughout spermatogenesis except in elongating spermatids. The testicular expression profiles of these candidate genes underlie their potential roles in spermatogenesis and the pathogenesis of male infertility. WES is an effective tool in the genetic diagnosis of primary male infertility. Our findings provide useful information on precise treatment, genetic counseling, and birth defect prevention for male factor infertility.","PeriodicalId":8915,"journal":{"name":"BMC Medical Genomics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142182111","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

RNA sequencing was employed to analyze the transcriptomic alterations in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from HFRS patients across the oliguric phase (OP), diuretic phase (DP), and convalescent phase (CP). Twelve differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were validated using quantitative real-time PCR in larger sample sets. Our analysis revealed pronounced transcriptomic differences between DP and OP, with 38 DEGs showing consistent expression changes across all three phases. Notably, immune checkpoint genes like CD83 and NR4A1 demonstrated a monotonic increase, in contrast to a monotonic decrease observed in antiviral and immunomodulatory genes, including IFI27 and RNASE2. Furthermore, this research elucidates a sustained attenuation of immune responses across three phases, alongside an upregulation of pathways related to tissue repair and regeneration. Our research reveals the transcriptomic shifts during the recovery phases of HFRS, illuminating key genes and pathways that may serve as biomarkers for disease progression and recovery.","PeriodicalId":8915,"journal":{"name":"BMC Medical Genomics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142182112","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, complex disease causal genes are not always clear. In contrast, Mendelian disease causal genes are well-known and druggable. Here, we seek an approach to exploit the well characterized biology of Mendelian diseases for complex disease drug discovery, by exploiting evidence of pathogenic processes shared between monogenic and complex disease. One way to find shared disease etiology is clinical association: some Mendelian diseases are known to predispose patients to specific complex diseases (comorbidity). Previous studies link this comorbidity to pleiotropic effects of the Mendelian disease causal genes on the complex disease. In previous work studying incidence of 90 Mendelian and 65 complex diseases, we found 2,908 pairs of clinically associated (comorbid) diseases. Using this clinical signal, we can match each complex disease to a set of Mendelian disease causal genes. We hypothesize that the drugs targeting these genes are potential candidate drugs for the complex disease. We evaluate our candidate drugs using information of current drug indications or investigations. Our analysis shows that the candidate drugs are enriched among currently investigated or indicated drugs for the relevant complex diseases (odds ratio = 1.84, p = 5.98e-22). Additionally, the candidate drugs are more likely to be in advanced stages of the drug development pipeline. We also present an approach to prioritize Mendelian diseases with particular promise for drug repurposing. Finally, we find that the combination of comorbidity and genetic similarity for a Mendelian disease and cancer pair leads to recommendation of candidate drugs that are enriched for those investigated or indicated. Our findings suggest a novel way to take advantage of the rich knowledge about Mendelian disease biology to improve treatment of complex diseases.","PeriodicalId":8915,"journal":{"name":"BMC Medical Genomics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142182113","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These variants were subsequently confirmed via Sanger sequencing. The first case involved a pericentric inversion extending from DMD intron 47 to Xq27.3. The second case featured a paracentric inversion between DMD intron 42 and Xp21.1, inherited from the mother. In both cases, simple repeat sequences (SRS) were present at the breakpoints of these inversions. Our findings demonstrate that LRS is an effective tool for detecting atypical mutations. The identification of SRS at the breakpoints in DMD patients enhances our understanding of the mechanisms underlying structural variations, thereby facilitating the exploration of potential treatments.","PeriodicalId":8915,"journal":{"name":"BMC Medical Genomics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142182114","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
