Background: A defense system against transposon activity in the human germline based on PIWI proteins and piRNA has recently been discovered. It represses the activity of LINE-1 elements via DNA methylation by a largely unknown mechanism. Based on the dispersed distribution of clusters of piRNA genes in a strand-specific manner on all human chromosomes, we hypothesized that this system might work preferentially on local and proximal sequences. We tested this hypothesis with a methylation-associated SNP (mSNP) marker which is based on the density of C-T transitions in CpG dinucleotides as a surrogate marker for germline methylation. Results: We found significantly higher density of mSNPs flanking piRNA clusters in the human genome for flank sizes of 1-16 Mb. A dose-response relationship between number of piRNA genes and mSNP density was found for up to 16 Mb of flanking sequences. The chromosomal density of hypermethylated LINE-1 elements had a significant positive correlation with the chromosomal density of piRNA genes (r = 0.41, P = 0.05). Genome windows of 1-16 Mb containing piRNA clusters had significantly more hypermethylated LINE-1 elements than windows not containing piRNA clusters. Finally, the minimum distance to the next piRNA cluster was significantly shorter for hypermethylated LINE-1 compared to normally methylated elements (14.4 Mb vs 16.1 Mb). Conclusions: Our observations support our hypothesis that the piRNA-PIWI system preferentially methylates sequences in close proximity to the piRNA clusters and perhaps physically adjacent sequences on other chromosomes. Furthermore they suggest that this proximity effect extends up to 16 Mb. This could be due to an unknown localization signal, transcription of piRNA genes near the nuclear membrane or the presence of an unknown RNA molecule that spreads across the chromosome and targets the methylation directed by the piRNA-PIWI complex. Our data suggest a region specific molecular mechanism which can be sought experimentally.

Individuals with Wiedemann-Steiner syndrome show nonverbal reasoning and visuospatial defects with relative verbal skill sparing

Rowena Ng, Jacqueline Harris, Jill A. Fahrner, Hans Tomas Bjornsson

Summary: This study provides insights into the neurocognitive profile of Wiedemann-Steiner syndrome (WSS). The majority of patients showed weaknesses in nonverbal reasoning, visuospatial perception, attention, working memory, and math computation. However, they performed within normal limits in receptive vocabulary, verbal memory, and word reading. Caregivers reported deficits in executive functioning, particularly in emotion regulation.

Association between pre-operative prolonged corrected QT interval and all-cause mortality after non-cardiac surgery

Helena Xiang Johannsdottir, Ingibjorg Jona Gudmundsdottir, Sigurbergur Karason, Martin Ingi Sigurdsson

Summary: This study investigates the association between pre-operative electrocardiography QTc interval and all-cause mortality in non-cardiac surgery patients. The results show that patients with a QTc interval between 480 and 519 ms have higher mortality rates after non-cardiac surgery, suggesting the presence of underlying cardiovascular risk.

Haemoglobin levels and outcomes of subgroups of patients with pre-operative anaemia based on red cell size: A retrospective cohort study

Sigurdur B. B. Benediktsson, Sigurbergur Karason, Martin I. I. Sigurdsson

Summary: This retrospective cohort study found that pre-operative anaemia is common and associated with adverse outcomes. Patients with anaemia, regardless of red cell size, had a longer duration of anaemia prior to surgery and similar post-operative recovery. All types of anaemia were associated with higher rates of 30-day mortality, acute kidney injury, and readmission compared to non-anaemic patients.

Summary: This study aimed to identify the prevalence of modifiable risk factors of surgical site infections (SSI) in patients undergoing primary elective total joint arthroplasty (TJA) receiving conventional pre-operative preparation, and to explore their association with infectious outcomes. The study found an association between obesity and dysglycemia/diabetes with superficial SSI.

Summary: This study investigated the role of rare variants, genome-wide, on the risk of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) using whole-genome sequencing. The results showed that rare variants within the TERT and RTEL1 genes were significantly associated with IPF, along with well-established common variants. Therefore, including TERT, RTEL1, common variants, and environmental risk factors in risk profiling and IPF therapy development is likely to have the largest impact on this complex disease.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the association of age and sex with postoperative AKI. The results showed that younger females have a lower risk of postoperative AKI, which gradually increases with age. These findings suggest that age-related changes in women should be further investigated as modifiers of postoperative AKI risk.

Summary: New-onset or acute atrial fibrillation (NOAF) is prevalent in critically ill adult patients and is associated with adverse outcomes. However, there is limited evidence to support the optimal management of NOAF in this population, and no specific recommendations can be made regarding the choice of pharmacological agent or the use of direct current cardioversion.

Summary: The use of hypnotic and sedative medication for sleep improvement is common, but long-term use is associated with increased risk of adverse events and mortality. This study aimed to determine the incidence and factors associated with new persistent use of hypnotic and sedative medication after surgical procedures. The results showed that although a small proportion of surgical patients initiate the use of these medications, a substantial proportion develop persistent use, which is associated with adverse outcomes.

Summary: The study found that clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) is associated with an increased risk of liver inflammation and chronic liver disease progression. Furthermore, experiments showed that mice transplanted with Tet2-deficient hematopoietic cells exhibited more severe liver inflammation and fibrosis. These findings suggest that CHIP contributes to liver inflammation and the development of chronic liver disease through an aberrant inflammatory response.

Summary: Through a large-scale multi-ancestry genome-wide association meta-analysis, 1020 independent association signals implicating 559 genes related to COPD were identified. These genes were enriched in 29 pathways. Variants showed heterogeneity across ancestries, age and smoking groups, and the genetic risk score was strongly associated with COPD across ancestry groups. New potential causal variants, genes, proteins and pathways were highlighted, including those targeted by existing drugs. These findings contribute to a better understanding of lung function and COPD mechanisms and have implications for functional genomics experiments and future COPD therapies.

Summary: This study found that higher mitochondrial DNA copy number (CN) in blood is associated with better cognitive function in both current and future settings, but is not causally related to cognition. This suggests that circulating mtDNA CN could serve as a biomarker of cognitive function in the community.

Summary: The HLA locus is associated with more complex diseases than any other locus in the human genome, and it explains more heritability in many diseases than all other known loci combined. In silico HLA imputation methods allow for rapid and accurate estimation of HLA alleles in genotyped individuals. This tutorial provides guidance on performing HLA imputation, association testing, and fine mapping, and aims to contribute to understanding the role of HLA in human diseases.
