Summary: Research has revealed the significant roles of common small-effect polygenic burden and large-effect variants in the genetic basis of complex traits. Studies have shown that it is possible to quantify the power to detect a lower PB in LEV carriers compared to non-carriers through simulations.

Summary: Heterozygous NRXN1 deletions are associated with schizophrenia and other neurodevelopmental disorders, causing impaired neurotransmitter release in human neurons. However, mouse neurons with NRXN1 deletions did not show the same impairment, suggesting a human-specific phenotype. The deletions also led to increased levels of CASK and characteristic gene-expression changes, highlighting the potential for future drug discovery targeting NRXN1 deletions.

Summary: This study demonstrated that the burden of rare DPYD variants is significantly associated with higher risk of severe fluoropyrimidine-related toxicity. Through the use of next generation sequencing and in silico predictive tools, the functional impact of these rare variants was evaluated, providing insights into their potential role in predicting adverse reactions to chemotherapy drugs.

Summary: Rare variants play a significant role in complex diseases, but identifying their associations is challenging. Researchers have proposed a method called RV-EXCALIBER, which uses large summary-level exome data to robustly calibrate rare variant burden, providing better prediction of the risk of coronary artery disease.

Summary: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by a complex polygenic background, with a subset of cases presenting a rare large-effect variant. Clinical interpretation in these cases is complicated by incomplete penetrance and variable expressivity. In a trio family with an inherited NRXN1 deletion, whole-exome sequencing revealed an increased burden of exonic rare variants in the ASD child compared to the unaffected mother, suggesting a role of interacting genes in ASD pathogenesis.

Summary: Metabolite levels measured in the human population were analyzed to identify associations with rare genetic variants. The study identified 40 novel associations, of which 28 were replicated, between rare coding variants and metabolite levels. Algorithms were developed to prioritize driver variants and statistical analyses were used to test the directionality of associations between metabolite and protein levels. The study found that 66% of reported associations involved gene targets of approved drugs or bioactive drug-like compounds, validating efforts in drug target research.

Summary: In this study, the genomes of three popular durian cultivars in Thailand were resequenced, revealing genetic diversities and differences from the Malaysian durian. Additionally, certain genes related to stress response showed faster evolution rates in durians. These genome assemblies provide valuable resources for understanding genetic diversity and developing new durian cultivars.

Summary: In this study, we resequenced the whole genome of four populations of Oryzias curvinotus, including the SY-medaka population. The results showed that the genetic differentiation between SY-medaka and other populations is the highest. The population history analysis suggested that SY-medaka has recently experienced a bottleneck period and is strongly affected by environmental selection. We also identified potential genomic regions and genes that may explain the selection process of SY-medaka.

Summary: Maize populations show vast diversity in both genetic and phenotypic traits. Resequencing strategies have been used to identify millions of genetic variants within and between maize populations, but inconsistencies in analytical pipelines, reference genome assemblies, and minor allele frequency filtering often limit the reuse and remixing of genetic diversity data for new research questions. This study utilized resequencing data from published and newly sequenced maize samples to create a unified marker set of over 366 million segregating variants, providing increased power to identify known flowering-time genes and track changes in allele frequency across the global distribution of maize.

Summary: Neurotransmitter receptors play a crucial role in signal transmission and their dysfunction is linked to brain disorders. The connection between receptors and their corresponding genes, especially in humans, is not well understood. In this study, both receptor densities and gene expression levels were quantified in the human hippocampus to investigate the relationship. The results showed that differences in receptor densities were mainly observed in metabotropic receptors, while differences in gene expression levels mainly pertained to ionotropic receptors. Furthermore, the correlation between receptor densities and gene expression levels varied widely and was generally weak-to-moderate, indicating that post-translational factors also influence receptor densities.

Summary: This study conducted the largest genome-wide association study (GWAS) on atopic dermatitis (AD) to date, identifying 81 replicated AD-associated loci in Europeans and 10 additional loci in a multi-ancestry analysis. The implicated genes are predominantly involved in immune pathways relevant to atopic inflammation and may offer drug repurposing opportunities.

Summary: This study suggests that somatic copy-number variants (sCNVs) may play a potential role in the risk of schizophrenia (SCZ). Early-developmental sCNVs were more common in SCZ cases, including recurrent somatic deletions in the NRXN1 gene. Additionally, recurrent intragenic deletions of the ABCB11 gene were observed in treatment-resistant SCZ cases.

Summary: Climate change, pollution, urbanization, socioeconomic inequality, and the COVID-19 pandemic have affected brain health. Research using innovative data integration tools can identify brain mechanisms underlying environment-related mental illness and inform innovative treatments. This research will lead to the development of objective biomarkers and evidence-based interventions to improve outcomes of environment-related mental illness.
