- Horses bred for different equestrian sports vary in physical, physiological and behavioural requirements. Characterising genetic markers associated with discipline provides an opportunity to improve identification of horses best suited to either jumping or dressage. Using a composite selection signals test, genomic regions under positive selection in German warmblood horses divergent for discipline were identified that contained lead SNPs proximal to or within genes with functions relevant to the requirements for jumping and dressage. Dressage genes function in tortuosity of movement (GRM5) and responsiveness to touch (PROKR2), and have roles in bone development (VWC2, THSD7B, CYP27A1) and growth traits (VPS13B, TMEFF2, NANOS1, ZEB2). Jumping genes function in the modulation of neuropathic pain (LPAR6 and SLITRK1) and encode compounds commonly included in nutritional supplements (CHST15 and TPH2). A polygenic prediction score (PPS) derived from 28 SNPs had an AUC = 0.89, and categorical predictions for dressage and jumping had an overall accuracy of 80%. Among horses with jumping competition records, the jumping genetic profile was highest among elite performers (85.7%) and lowest among inferior performers (69.4%). The PPS could be applied to efficiently and accurately identify young horses most suitable for each discipline before they reach the age for participation in physical performance assessments, and the genetic markers could be applied in genome-enabled breeding strategies to accelerate genetic gain in sport horses. Furthermore, examination of the PPS among Thoroughbred horses indicated that it could be used to inform suitable second careers for racehorses to improve welfare outcomes following retirement from racing. - Source: PubMed
Hill Emmeline WHan HaigeHoltby Amy RAnhold HeinrichMcGivney Beatrice A - Most pregnancies are affected by nausea and vomiting, but the most severe form-hyperemesis gravidarum-can be life threatening. Here we performed a multi-ancestry genome-wide association study of hyperemesis gravidarum in 10,974 cases and 461,461 controls across European, Asian, African and Latino ancestries. We identified ten associations: four identified previously (GDF15, IGFBP7, PGR and GFRAL) and six additional loci (SLITRK1, SYN3, IGSF11, FSHB, TCF7L2 and CDH9). Downstream analyses revealed GDF15 and TCF7L2 expression primarily in extravillous trophoblasts, with opposing effects for GDF15 between maternal and fetal genotype. Conversely, IGFBP7 and PGR were expressed primarily in maternal spiral arteries, with effects limited to the maternal genome. Selected loci were associated with abnormal pregnancy weight gain, duration, birth weight and pre-eclampsia. Functional studies identified additional associations including antisense IGFBP7-AS1 and protein ACP1. Potential roles for candidate genes in appetite, insulin signaling and brain plasticity provide pathways to explore etiological mechanisms and therapeutic avenues. - Source: PubMed

CAMs often have multiple paralogs but the possible redundancy of such paralogs remains underexplored. Using circuit-specific conditional knockout (cKO) mice deficient for Slitrk1 and Slitrk2, we show that these paralogs lack specific laminar expression in mature hippocampal neurons but divergently guide the specificity of neural circuits in distinct hippocampal subfields. Slitrk1 and Slitrk2 regulate distinct facets of excitatory synaptic properties in a microcircuit-dependent manner through binding to LAR-RPTPs, and additionally in the case of Slitrk2, through binding to PDZ domain-containing proteins and TrkB. Analyses of Slitrk2 V89M knock-in mice revealed that this schizophrenia-associated substitution acts uniquely as a loss-of-function mutation in some microcircuits to impair excitatory synaptic transmission, asynchronous release, and spatial reference memory. These findings demonstrate that even structurally and biochemically similar synaptic CAMs can play distinct roles in specifying neural circuit architecture. - Source: PubMed

Keloid scars are clinically and morphologically heterogeneous, showing variable response to therapy. They also differ at the cellular and molecular levels between their actively growing margins and their dormant centers. In addition, keloids behave differently to other fibrous skin tumors, including DSFP and FS. Thus, we performed a high-throughput RNA sequencing and gene/protein analysis on keloid tissue, primary keloid fibroblasts, and keloid-derived immortalized fibroblast cell lines from different sites of the keloid tissue (Extralesional, Peripheral, Middle, and Top). These were compared with normal skin, DFSP, and FS. We identified MTCO1P12 as a common gene transcript exhibiting significantly high expression across all three keloid sites (Peripheral, Middle, and Top), FS, and DFSP compared to the extralesional keloid. Furthermore, three site-specific biomarkers were identified. SLITRK1 was uniquely expressed in the peripheral keloid tissue site and its corresponding fibroblasts. FOXS1 was localized to the middle keloid tissue site and its corresponding fibroblasts. KCNJ6 was exclusively expressed in the top keloid tissue site and its corresponding fibroblasts. It was not found in FS and DFSP. In conclusion, for the first time, we identified and validated three novel site-specific biomarkers within keloid, two of which (SLITRK1 and FOXS1) overlap with more aggressive tumors, while KCNJ6 is unique to keloids. In conclusion, for the first time, we identified and validated three novel site-specific biomarkers in keloids, two of which (SLITRK1 and FOXS1) overlap with more aggressive tumors, while KCNJ6 is unique to keloids. These findings demonstrate the feasibility of identifying spatially distinct molecular signatures in keloids, providing a foundation for future research into targeted therapies. - Source: PubMed

Sadiq AliaKhumalo Nonhlanhla PZiemann MarkBayat Ardeshir - Global population aging highlights frailty as a critical health concern, yet its genetic basis remains poorly understood. We employed Mendelian randomization (MR) and National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) to examine causal relationships between frailty index (FI) and 36 urological diseases, investigating shared genetic mechanisms. The FI was calculated using genome-wide association data, and bidirectional MR analysis with multiple statistical methods was applied to investigate causal links between FI and 36 urological diseases. Complementary observational analyses using NHANES and generalized summary MR validation were conducted, followed by genetic correlation assessments, genome annotation, and metabolomic explorations to identify mediating pathways. MR analysis identified a significant causal association between FI and renal tubule-interstitial disease, chronic kidney diseases (CKDs), diabetes with renal complications, renal failure, and acute kidney injury. Reverse MR analysis indicated a bidirectional causal relationship between FI and acute renal failure, as well as CKD and type 1 diabetic kidney disease. NHANES data confirmed FI as an independent risk factor for CKD and renal failure. Genetic linkage analyses identified strong regional correlations between FI and CKD/renal failure within the chromosome 6 locus (31,571,218-32,682,664). Genome-wide analyses uncovered 103 novel single-nucleotide polymorphism with pleiotropic effects on the frailty-urinary disease relationship. Mediation analyses implicated the complement pathway (C2), SLITRK1, and 4-methylhexanoylglutamine as putative mediators of FI effects on CKD and kidney failure. This study elucidates the bidirectional causal relationship between frailty and CKD, while identifying novel genetic variants and metabolic pathways. These findings provide a molecular basis for developing personalized therapeutic strategies targeting both frailty and urological disorders. - Source: PubMed
