- Chorea is a symptom of numerous pathophysiologically and clinically heterogeneous genetic conditions. A number of developments have been made in this field over the last years linked to improved genomic testing, large cohort collaborations and improved understanding of the molecular mechanisms. This review aims to provide an update on the new genetic conditions and phenotypes linked to chorea disorders, their modification factors and pathophysiological background. - Source: PubMed

Ostrozovicova MiriamSkorvanek Matej - Backfat thickness, a key selection trait in pig-breeding programmes, has traditionally been measured as a homogeneous layer. However, backfat is anatomically structured into three distinct layers, and each layer likely contributes differently to carcass quality. In addition, previous studies have shown that the deposition of the third layer of backfat is phenotypically correlated with intramuscular fat (IMF). Therefore, targeted selection for specific backfat layers, particularly the third layer, represents a potential strategy to increase IMF content while maintaining a high lean meat percentage. However, the genetic architecture of these distinct porcine backfat layers remains poorly understood. The aim of this study was to estimate the genetic parameters and identify key candidate genes underlying the three backfat layers. We collected B-mode ultrasound images from 561 Landrace pigs to measure individual layer thickness, followed by DNA extraction, genotyping, genetic parameter estimation, and a genome-wide association study (GWAS). Our measurements showed that the first layer of backfat (FBF) is the thickest, followed by the second (SBF) and the third (TBF) layers. Genetic parameter estimation yielded heritability estimates of 0.37, 0.42, 0.38, 0.34, 0.32, 0.24, and 0.21 for total backfat (BF), FBF, FBF/BF, SBF, SBF/BF, TBF, and TBF/BF, respectively. Through integrated analysis of GWAS, Bayesian fine-mapping, and gene annotation, we identified 15 non-redundant candidate genes associated with different backfat layers. These included two genes (SOAT1 and ACBD6) shared by BF and SBF, LPL for BF and FBF, and CAND1 for TBF and TBF/BF. Additionally, SERPINA12 and SERPINA6 were associated with BF; PRKAG1 and PRDM16 with FBF; EPRS1 and SLC39A10 with FBF/BF; PTGES and CRAT with SBF; and ACLY, CAVIN1, and PDZRN3 with SBF/BF. Our results indicate that each layer is governed by a distinct set of genes, which advances our understanding of the genetic basis of backfat layers in pigs. - Source: PubMed

Meng ZLiu YYang WWang JLi P HHuang R HWu W J - Our previous study found that WRINKLED1-like (DpWRI1-like) was a key regulatory factor of lipid biosynthesis in . gene and target genes of DpWRI1-like have been obtained in our previous study, but the interacting proteins of DpWRI1-like are unclear now, which has limited a deep understanding of the function of DpWRI1-like. Yeast two-hybrid was widely used to identify protein-protein interaction. In this study, the interacting proteins of DpWRI1-like were obtained using yeast two-hybrid technique to further realize the role of DpWRI1-like. Three important interacting proteins have the following predicted activities: acyl-CoA-binding domain-containing protein 6 (interacting protein 1, ACBD6), duplicated carbonic anhydrase (interacting protein 2, DCA) and DNA-binding transcription factor (interacting protein 3, TF). Bimolecular fluorescence complementation assay further validated the interaction between DpWRI1-like and interacting proteins ACBD6 and DCA. The further bioinformatics analyses of interacting proteins were conducted. Protein-protein docking indicated the strong affinity between DpWRI1-like and three interacting proteins. Since interacting proteins have been found to be related to lipid biosynthesis in other organisms, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of the role of DpWRI1-like in lipid synthesis. In conclusion, this study firstly reported three interacting proteins (ACBD6, DCA and TF) of DpWRI1-like related to lipid biosynthesis, and conducted their bioinformatics analyses, which would be conducive to a deep understanding of the function of DpWRI1-like in lipid biosynthesis. - Source: PubMed

Ruan LingruHuang LimeiWu LinaGu JinghuiLiang YanyanLiang XiuliShang Changhua - Fatty acids are a requirement for normal development, however, since humans are unable to de novo produce essential fatty acids, they must be obtained from diet. Atlantic salmon is a major dietary source of nutritious and digestible fatty acids. Here, we set out to uncover the genomic basis of individual fatty acids and indices (saturated fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids, n-3, and n-6) in 208 North American Atlantic salmon, to understand selection potential toward increasing relative quantities of essential fatty acids and to identify candidate genes for future research. Total n-6 (pro-inflammatory) was higher than total n-3 (anti-inflammatory) fatty acids with a ratio of 1 : 1.31 (n-3 : n-6). Heritability of fatty acids ranged from 0 to 0.99, however, most fatty acids and indices had moderate to high heritabilities (ranged from 0.20 to 0.88), implying that selection for improvement of traits could be possible. We found the same significant markers on chromosome 23 (based on false discovery rate thresholds of 2.0e-6 and suggestive significant thresholds of 2.0e-5 in Manhattan plots) in four fatty acids (γ-linoleic acid, stearidonic acid, dihimo-γ-linolenic acid, and eicosatrienoic acid), where three genes (sin3b, acbd6, and fads2) are known to be involved in lipid metabolism. These genes, fads2 in particular, would all make ideal candidates for future functional studies. In addition, there were four fatty acids with loci over the suggestive significant threshold with a variety of markers on different chromosomes (lauric acid, stearic acid, eicosatetraenoic acid (ETA), and docosadienoic acid), with associated genes that had relevant functions to fatty acids or adipose cells in general. - Source: PubMed

Langille Barbara LJuárez ManuelPrieto NuriaBoison SolomonLim Panya SaeSwift Bruce DGarber Amber F - Alzheimer's disease (AD) represents a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the accumulation of misfolded amyloid beta protein, leading to the formation of amyloid plaques and the aggregation of tau protein into neurofibrillary tangles within the cerebral cortex. The role of carbohydrates, particularly apolipoprotein E (ApoE), is pivotal in AD pathogenesis due to its involvement in lipid and cholesterol metabolism, and its status as a genetic predisposition factor for the disease. Despite its significance, the mechanistic contributions of Lipid Metabolism-related Genes (LMGs) to AD remain inadequately elucidated. This research endeavor seeks to bridge this gap by pinpointing biomarkers indicative of early-stage AD, with an emphasis on those linked to immune cell infiltration. To this end, advanced machine-learning algorithms and data derived from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database have been employed to facilitate the identification of these biomarkers. - Source: PubMed
