Prevalent false positives of azoospermia factor a （AZFa） microdeletions caused by single-nucleotide polymorphism rs72609647 in the sY84 screening of male infertility

Multiplex polymerase chain reaction （PCR） has been widely used to detect Y-chromosome micredeletions, which is one of the major causes of male infertility. Both the European Academy of Andrology （EAA） and the European Molecular Genetics Quality Network （EMQN） have recommended the use of sY84 and sY86 markers for the detection of azoospermia factor a （AZFa） microdeletion during DNA testing for male infertility. In this study, a large-scale analysis of AZF microdeletion in a total of 630 Chinese males, including healthy semen donors （n=200）, infertile males with normal sperm count （n=226） and patients with either nonobstructive azoospermia or severe oligozoospermia （n=204）, was performed. A series of nine sequence-tagged site （STS） markers from the AZF region of the Y chromosome was used to detect microdeletions. All primers were designed based on the recommendations of the National Center for Biotechnology Information. An unusually high incidence （73/630, 11.6%） of sY84-absent but sY86-present genotypes was observed in the AZFa microdeletion screening. Sequencing the sY84-flanking region revealed a total of 73 patients with sY84-absent but sY86-present genotypes have a T-to-G transversion at the fifth base from the 5＇ end of the reverse sY84 primer. These prevalent false positives, which were not only observed in infertile men, but also observed in donors, resulted from a single-nucleotide polymorphism （SNP） named rs72609647 in the targeting sequence of the reverse sY84 primer. Our study suggests that a pre-screening of existence of rs72609647 polymorphism can prevent the frequent false positive results of AZFa microdeletions detection in the infertile Chinese males. Given the SNP rs72609647 was recently found in a deep sequencing of a Chinese individual, the current EAA and EMQN standards may need to be scrutinized among different populations to avoid the potential genetic variations in the primer binding sequences.

PLASMA RESISTIN LEVELS AND SINGLE-NUCLEOTIDE POLYMORPHISMS IN RESISTIN GENE 5 FLANKING REGION IN PATIENTS WITH STROKE

Objective To analyze the role of resistin in insulin resistance (IR) through investigating the variation of plasma resistin levels and single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in resistin gene 5’ flanking region in stroke patients.Methods In 103 atherothrombotic cerebral infarction (ACI) patients, 85 lacunar infarction (LI) patients, 70 intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) patients, and 86 healthy controls, plasma resistin and insulin levels were measured by ELISA , SNPs in resistin gene 5’ flanking region were detected by PCR and direct DNA sequencing. The subjects’ body height and weight, the body mass index, quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI), blood pressure, and the concentration of fasting plasma glucose, triglyceride, total cholesterol, creatinine, low-density lipoprotein, and high-density lipoprotein were also determined. Results QUICKI was significantly lower in the ACI and ICH patients (0.316±0.037 and 0.309±0.032, respectively) than that in the controls (0.342±0.043, P<0.001), while plasma resistin level was significantly higher in the ACI and ICH patients (6.36±3.79 and 7.15±4.27 ng/mL, respectively) than that in the controls (5.28±2.56 ng/mL, P<0.05), but such difference was not observed in the LI patients compared with controls. There was a statistically negative correlation between plasma resistin level with QUICKI (r=-0.228, P<0.001). The distributions of allele and genotype frequencies of resistin gene -420C>G and -537A>C SNPs were not significantly different among the different groups, and those SNPs were not correlated with other clinical and biochemical parameters.Conclusions Plasma resistin is associated with stroke by participating in the development of IR. The SNPs in resistin gene 5’ flanking region has no impact on the plasma resistin level.

Single-nucleotide polymorphisms of HLA and Polygonum multiflorum-induced liver injury in the Han Chinese population

BACKGROUND Polygonum multiflorum is one of the leading causes of herb-induced liver injury in China.HLA-B*35:01 is reported to be a potential biomarker of Polygonum multiflorum-induced liver injury(PM-DILI).However,little is known about the relationship between single-nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs) and PM-DILI.AIM To identify SNPs that indicate susceptibility to PM-DILI METHODS We conducted a systematic study enrolling 382 participants from four independent hospitals,including 73 PM-DILI patients,118 patients with other drug-induced liver injury(other-DILI) and 191 healthy controls.Whole-exome sequencing was performed for 8 PM-DILI patients and 8 healthy controls who were randomly selected from the above subjects.Nineteen SNPs that showed high frequencies in the 8 PM-DILI patients were selected as candidate SNPs and then screened in 65 PM-DILI patients,118 other-DILI patients and 183 healthy controls using the MassARRAY system.HLA-B high-resolution genotyping was performed for the 73 PM-DILI and 118 other-DILI patients.The Han-MHC database was selected as a population control for HLA-B analysis.P <6.25 x 103 after Bolferroni correction was considered significant.RESULTS The frequencies of rslll686806 in the HLA-A gene,rs1055348 in the HLA-B gene,and rs202047044 in the HLA-DRB1 gene were significantly higher in the PM-DILI group than in the control group [27.2% vs 11.6%,P=1.72×105,odds ratio(OR)=3.96,95% confidence interval(Cl):2.21-7.14;42.5% vs 8.6%,P=1.72×10-19 OR=13.62,95% CI:7.16-25.9;22.9% vs 8.1%,P=4.64×106,OR=4.1,95% CI:2.25-7.47].Only rs1055348 showed a significantly higher frequency in the PM-DILI group than in the other-DILI group(42.5% vs 13.6%,P=1.84×10-10,OR=10.06,95% Cl:5.06-20.0),which suggested that it is a specific risk factor for PM-DILI.rs1055348 may become a tag for HLA-B*35:01 with 100% sensitivity and 97.7% specificity in the PM-DILI group and 100% sensitivity and 98.1% specificity in the other-DILI group.Furthermore,HLA-B*35:01 was confirmed to be associated with PM-DILI with a frequency of 41.1% in the PM-DILI group compared with 11.9%(P=4.30×10-11,OR=11.11,95% CI:5.57-22.19) in the other-DILI group and 2.7%(P=6.22×10-166,OR=62.62,95% Cl:35.91-109.20) in the Han-MHC database.CONCLUSION rslll686806,rs1055348,and rs202047044 are associated with PM-DILI,of which,rs1055348 is specific to PM-DILI.As a tag for HLA-B*35:01,rs1055348 may become an alternative predictive biomarker of PM-DILI.

Association of Bovine Fatty Acid Desaturase 2 Gene Single-Nucleotide Polymorphisms with Intramuscular Fatty Acid Composition in Japanese Black Steers

Beef from Japanese Black cattle (JBK), is popular in Japan and valued for its highly marbled fat content. In JBK, genes affecting oleic acid content in meat have been studied mainly to lower the fat melting point and improve tenderness;however, there has been no direct correlation demonstrated between beef taste and oleic acid. To investigate genes affecting other fatty acids other than oleic acid, polymorphisms of the fatty acid desaturase 2 (FADS2) gene were genotyped and associations with fatty acid profile in JBK beef were investigated. Amplifications of 5’-flanking regions, 12 exons, and 3’-untranslated regions of the FADS2 gene in three Japanese and five Western cattle breeds via PCR, were amplified, sequenced and SNPs were identified using specific TaqMan genotyping assay. Fatty acid composition of intramuscular adipose tissue of the Trapezius muscle was analyzed in JBK steers. Six of the 15 identified SNPs are novel and have never been registered in any public bovine SNP database. A non-synonymous SNP (rs211580559;C > T;294 Ala > Val) in exon 7 was examined in order to evaluate its association with fatty acid profiles. The data showed that highly significant association existed between rs211580559 and C18:2 (n-6) composition, and accounted for 22.3% of the variation. There were no significant relationships between rs2115-80559 and the other fatty acids. It was concluded that rs211580559 of the FADS2 gene may be a useful selection marker for reducing unfavorable volatiles generated from linoleic acid in JBK beef during the cooking process.

Early prediction of growth patterns after pediatric kidney transplantation based on height-related single-nucleotide polymorphisms

Background:Growth retardation is a common complication of chronic kidney disease in children,which can be partially relieved after renal transplantation.This study aimed to develop and validate a predictive model for growth patterns of children with end-stage renal disease(ESRD)after kidney transplantation using machine learning algorithms based on genomic and clinical variables.Methods:A retrospective cohort of 110 children who received kidney transplants between May 2013 and September 2021 at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were recruited for whole-exome sequencing(WES),and another 39 children who underwent transplant from October 2021 to March 2022 were enrolled for external validation.Based on previous studies,we comprehensively collected 729 height-related single-nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs)in exon regions.Seven machine learning algorithms and 10-fold cross-validation analysis were employed for model construction.Results:The 110 children were divided into two groups according to change in height-for-age Z-score.After univariate analysis,age and 19 SNPs were incorporated into the model and validated.The random forest model showed the best prediction efficacy with an accuracy of 0.8125 and an area under curve(AUC)of 0.924,and also performed well in the external validation cohort(accuracy,0.7949;AUC,0.796).Conclusions:A model with good performance for predicting post-transplant growth patterns in children based on SNPs and clinical variables was constructed and validated using machine learning algorithms.The model is expected to guide clinicians in the management of children after renal transplantation,including the use of growth hormone,glucocorticoid withdrawal,and nutritional supplementation,to alleviate growth retardation in children with ESRD.

Genome-wide SNP markers provided insights into the reproductive strategy and genetic diversity of the green tide causative species Ulva prolifera in China

Ulva prolifera is the causative species of the annually occurring large-scale green tides in China since 2007.Its specific biological features on reproductivity strategies,as well as intra-species genetic diversity,are still largely unknown,especially at the genome level,despite their importance in understanding the formation and outbreak of massive green tides.In the present study,the restriction site-associated DNA genotyping approach(2b-RAD)was adopted to identify the genome-wide single-nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs)of 54 individual thalli including samples collected from Subei Shoal in 2019 and Qingdao coast from 2019 to 2021.SNPs genotype results revealed that most of the thalli in 2019 and 2020 were haploid gametophytes,while only half of the thalli were gametophytes in 2021,indicating flexibility in the reproductive strategies for the formation of the green tides among different years and the dominance of asexual and vegetative reproductive mode for the floating period.Besides,population analysis was conducted,and it revealed a very low genetic diversity among samples from Subei Shoal and the Qingdao coast in the same year and a higher divergence among samples in different years.The results showed the efficiency of 2b-RAD in the exploration of SNPs in U.prolifera and provided the first genome-wide scale evidence for the origin of the large-scale green tides on the Qingdao coast.This study improved our understanding of the reproductive strategy and genetic diversity of the green tide causative species and will help further reveal the biological causes of the green tide in China.

吉林地方鸡H-FABP基因多态性及其与屠宰性能、肉品质的关联分析

为研究吉林地方鸡H-FABP基因多态性及其对屠宰性能和肉质性状的影响,试验通过基因组PCR测序鉴定出H-FABP基因部分片段SNP位点,并采用竞争性等位基因特异性PCR(KASP)技术对特定多态位点在吉林芦花鸡、矮脚芦花鸡和吉林黑鸡3个亲本群体及正反交6个群体多态性进行了检验,最后对上述9个群体的肉品质及屠宰性能进行了相关性分析。结果显示:H-FABP基因后段存在8个单碱基SNP位点和1处碱基插入位点,其中g.2892 C>T位点位于外显子3,并导致编码氨基酸由丝氨酸(TCG)突变为亮氨酸(TTG)。g.3173G>A和g.3234~3254位于外显子4中,但所处区域为基因3′UTR区,其余SNP均位于内含子区。KASP技术对不同群体g.2980G>A位点多态性分析发现不同群体三种基因型频率差异较大,但卡方检验分析发现仅在3个群体(LL,AA和HA)该位点处于Hardy-Weinberg不平衡状态。进一步针对不同群体屠宰性能和肉品质进行相关分析发现,不同群体中该位点对不同屠宰性能和肉品质相关性存在差异。本试验证实吉林地方鸡H-FABP基因存在丰富的遗传多样性,且个别位点与屠宰及肉质性状存在一定的相关性。

Phylogeny,molecular evolution,and dating of divergences in Lagerstroemia using plastome sequences

Lagerstroemia L.(Lythraceae)is a widely distributed genus of trees and shrubs native to tropical and subtropical environments from Southeast Asia to Australia,with numerous species highly valued as ornamentals.Although the plastomes of many species in this genus have been sequenced,the rates of functional gene evolution and their effect on phylogenetic analyses have not been thoroughly examined.We compared three plastome sequence matrices to elucidate how differences in these datasets affected phylogenetic analyses.Robust phylogenetic relationships for Lagerstroemia species were reconstructed based on different plastome sequence partitions and multiple phylogenetic methods.Identification of single-nucleotide variants within different genes also provides basic data on the patterns of functional gene evolution in Lagerstroemia and may provide insights into how those mutations affect protein structure and potentially drive divergence via cytonuclear incompatibility.These results as well as analyses of non-synonymous and synonymous mutations,indicate that heterotachic modes of evolution are present in functional plastome genes and should be accounted for in the analyses of molecular evolution.In addition,divergence events within the Lagerstroemia were dated for the first time.Several of the divergence estimates corresponded to well-known Earth history events,such as the reduction in global temperatures at the Eocene/Oligocene boundary.Our analyses conducted in Lagerstroemia here dissects the various patterns in the divergence of Lagerstroemia and may provide a useful guide to help plant breeders,as well as the necessity of using plastomic data and as possible as to combine evidence from morphological characteristics to investigate the complicated interspecies relationship and the evolutionary dynamics of species.

Haplotype analysis of long-chain non-coding RNA NONHSAT102891 promoter polymorphisms and depression in Chinese individuals: A case-control association study

BACKGROUND Our previous study reported that the single-nucleotide polymorphism(SNP)rs155979 GC in the promoter region of long-chain non-coding RNA(lncRNA)NONHSAT102891 affects depression susceptibility in a Chinese population.AIM To explored associations of two SNPs and haplotypes in the lncRNA NONHSAT102891 promoter region with depression susceptibility in Chinese population.METHODS This this case-control association study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Chengdu Medical College(approval number:201815).Patient diagnosis was based on DSM-IV criteria.We selected a total of 480 patients with depression and 329 healthy controls with no history of psychopathology,and performed genotyping of two SNPs by extracting peripheral venous blood samples from the subjects.The function of the two lncRNA NONHSAT102891 promoter G/C and A/T haplotypes was detected by dual-luciferase reporter assays of human embryonic kidney 293T transfected cells.RESULTS Stratified analysis of clinical and genotypic characteristics of our cohort showed that the degree of mild depressive episodes associated with the rs6230 TC/CC genotype increased by 1.59 times[TC/CC vs TT:odds ratio(OR)=1.59,95%confidence interval(CI):1.08-2.35,P=0.019].The haploid analysis revealed linkage disequilibrium between rs3792747 and rs6230,and the double SNP CG haplotype was more common in the control group compared to case group,indicating that this haplotype significantly reduced the risk of depression(C/G vs T/A:OR=0.42,95%CI:0.21-0.83,P=0.01).There was no significant difference in the dual-luciferase reporter activity of the G/C and A/T haplotypes compared with the control group(P>0.05),indicating that the double SNP haplotype has no transcrip-tional activity.CONCLUSION The rs3792747 and rs6230 CG haplotypes of the lncRNA NONHSA T102891 promoter may be related to a reduced risk of depression in the Han Chinese population.

Causal Association Between Tea Consumption and Gout:A Mendelian Randomization Study

Objective Evidence from prospective studies on the consumption of tea and risk of gout is conflicting and limited.We aimed to investigate the potential causal effects of tea intake on gout using Mendelian randomization(MR).Methods Genome-wide association studies in UK Biobank included 349376 individuals and successfully discovered single-nucleotide polymorphisms linked to consumption of one cup of tea per day.Summary statistics from the Chronic Kidney Disease Genetics consortium included 13179 cases and 750634 controls for gout.Two-sample MR analyses were used to evaluate the relationship between tea consumption and gout risk.The inverse-variance weighted(IVW)method was used for primary analysis,and sensitivity analyses were also conducted to validate the potential causal effect.Results In this study,the genetically predicted increase in tea consumption per cup was associated with a lower risk of gout in the IVW method(OR:0.90;95%CI:0.82–0.98).Similar results were found in weighted median methods(OR:0.88;95%CI:0.78–1.00),while no significant associations were found in MR-Egger(OR:0.89;95%CI:0.71–1.11),weighted mode(OR:0.80;95%CI:0.65–0.99),and simple mode(OR:1.01;95%CI:0.75–1.36).In addition,no evidence of pleiotropy was detected by MR-Egger regression(P=0.95)or MR-PRESSO analysis(P=0.07).Conclusion This study provides evidence for the daily consumption of an extra cup of tea to reduce the risk of gout.

Evaluation of 10 Different Pipelines for Bacterial Single-Nucleotide Variant Detection

Bacterial genome sequencing is a powerful technique for studying the genetic diversity and evolution ofmicrobial populations.However,the detection of genomic variants from sequencing data is challenging due to the presence of contamination,sequencing errors and multiple strains within the same species.Several bioinformatics tools have been developed to address these issues,but their performance and accuracy have not been systematically evaluated.In this study,we compared 10 variant detection pipelines using 18 simulated and 17 real datasets of high-throughput sequences froma bundle of representative bacteria.We assessed the sensitivity of each pipeline under different conditions of coverage,simulation and strain diversity.We also demonstrated the application of these tools to identify consistentmutations in a 30-time repeated sequencing dataset of Staphylococcus hominis.We found that HaplotypeCaller,but not Mutect2,from the GATK tool set showed the best performance in terms of accuracy and robustness.CFSAN and Snippy performed not as well in several simulated and real sequencing datasets.Our results provided a comprehensive benchmark and guidance for choosing the optimal variant detection pipeline for high-throughput bacterial genome sequencing data.

Association of MBOAT7 rs641738 polymorphism with hepatocellular carcinoma susceptibility:A systematic review and meta-analysis

BACKGROUND The MBOAT7 rs641738 single-nucleotide polymorphism(SNP)has been proven to influence various liver diseases,but its association with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)susceptibility has been debated.To address this discrepancy,we conducted the current systematic review and meta-analysis.AIM To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis on association of MBOAT7 SNP and HCC susceptibility.METHODS We performed a systematic review in PubMed,Web of Science,Scopus,and EMBASE;applied specific inclusion and exclusion criteria;and extracted the data.Meta-analysis was conducted with the meta package in R.Sensitivity and subgroup analyses were also performed.This meta-analysis was registered in PROSPERO(CRD42023458046).RESULTS Eight studies were included in the systematic review,and 12 cohorts from 6 studies were included in the meta-analysis.Our meta-analysis revealed an association between the MBOAT7 SNP and HCC susceptibility in both the dominant[odds ratio(OR):1.14,95%confidence interval(95%CI):1.02-1.26,P=0.020]and recessive(OR:1.21,95%CI:1.05-1.39,P=0.008)models.Subgroup analysis revealed that stratification of the included patients by geographical origin showed a significant association in Asia(OR:1.20,95%CI:1.03-1.39).CONCLUSION This meta-analysis underscores the contribution of the MBOAT7 rs641738 SNP to hepatocarcinogenesis,especially in Asian populations,which warrants further investigation.

Relationship of Toll-Like Receptors 2 and 4 Gene Polymorphisms with Essential Hypertension in Chinese Han Population

Objective: There are numerous studies suggesting that genetic polymor-phisms of inflammation factors Toll-like receptors 2 and 4 (TLR2, TLR4) might play a role in the pathophysiological process of hypertension. In this study, we evaluated the association in a sample of members of the Chinese Han population. Method: We selected four single nucleotide polymor-phisms (SNP) of TLR2 (rs3804099, rs3804100, rs7656411) and TLR4 (rs1927906) genes, and measured the distributions of genotypic and allelic frequencies in 1063 participants, including 391 essential hypertension pa-tients and 672 controls. Result: No significant differences in the genotypic and allelic frequencies of the four SNPs were detected between cases and controls. However, three haplotypes, CCG, TTG and TTT of TLR2, were significantly associated with a decrease in the risk of essential hyperten-sion (OR: 0.512, 95% CI: 0.397 - 0.660, P P = 0.0038;OR: 0.797, 95% CI: 0.667 - 0.952, P = 0.0122, respectively). Inversely, the risk of essential hypertension increased sig-nificantly in patients with the CTG, TCG or TCT haplotypes (OR: 2.924, 95% CI: 2.157 - 3.963, P P P Conclusion: Our study suggested that haplotypes (CCG, TTG, TTT, CTG, TCG and TCT) of TLR2 might have profound effects on the development of essential hypertension in the Chinese Han population.
