Genomics of Loa loa, a Wolbachia-free filarial parasite of humans
Scritto da Nature Genetics   
BiochimicaThomas Nutman and colleagues report the draft genome of the filarial pathogen Loa loa, the African eyeworm. They also report coverage of two other filarial pathogens, Wuchereria bancrofti and Onchocerca volvulus. Unlike most filariae, L. loa lacks an ... ...
 
Genome-wide meta-analysis identifies 11 new loci for anthropometric traits and provides insights into genetic architecture
Scritto da Nature Genetics   
BiochimicaErik Ingelsson and colleagues report a large-scale genome-wide meta-analysis for associations to the extremes of anthropometric traits, including body mass index, height, waist-to-hip ratio and clinical obesity. They identify four loci newly associat ... ...
 
Genome-wide SNP and CNV analysis identifies common and low-frequency variants associated with severe early-onset obesity
Scritto da Nature Genetics   
BiochimicaSadaf Farooqi, Inês Barroso and colleagues report genome-wide SNP and CNV association analyses for severe obesity in children, selected at the extreme of the distribution for body mass index. They identify four loci newly associated with severe obesi ... ...
 
Genome-wide association analysis identifies a susceptibility locus for pulmonary arterial hypertension
Scritto da Nature Genetics   
BiochimicaFlorent Soubrier and colleagues report a genome-wide association study of pulmonary arterial hypertension. They identify a susceptibility locus near CBLN2 associated with a twofold elevated risk of developing this life-threatening disease. ... ...
 
The CCND1 c.870G>A polymorphism is a risk factor for t(11;14)(q13;q32) multiple myeloma
Scritto da Nature Genetics   
BiochimicaRichard Houlston, Kari Hemminki and colleagues report a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies of multiple myeloma and identify a variant in the CCDN1 gene that influences risk for developing a specific tumor karyotype with the t(11;14)(q13 ... ...
 
POT1 mutations cause telomere dysfunction in chronic lymphocytic leukemia
Scritto da Nature Genetics   
BiochimicaCarlos López-Otín and colleagues report recurrent mutations in POT1 in chronic lymphocytic leukemia. This is the first member of the telomeric shelterin complex reported to be mutated in human cancer. ... ...
 
Recessive mutations in DGKE cause atypical hemolytic-uremic syndrome
Scritto da Nature Genetics   
BiochimicaRichard Lifton, Véronique Frémeaux-Bacchi and colleagues report that recessive mutations in DGKE cause atypical hemolytic-uremic syndrome with an early age of onset progressing to chronic kidney disease. The authors propose that loss of DGKE results ... ...
