As a result, BD represents an ideal target for discovering genetic loci that predispose individuals to a wide range of antisocial behaviors and substance misuse that together represent a large cost to society as a whole. Published genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have examined specific phenotypes that fall under the umbrella of BD (e.g. alcohol dependence, conduct disorder); however no GWAS has specifically examined the overall BD construct. We conducted a GWAS of BD using a sample of 1,901 adolescents over-selected for characteristics that define high BD, such as substance and antisocial behavior problems, finding no individual locus that surpassed genome-wide significance. Although no single SNP was significantly associated with BD, restricted maximum likelihood analysis estimated that 49.3% of the variance in BD within the Caucasian sub-sample was accounted for by the genotyped SNPs (p=0.06). -

At first, it was thought that the regulation of gene expression particularly occurs at the level of transcription By various transcription factors. Recent discoveries have shown the vital role of gene regulation at the level of RNA also known as post-transcriptional gene regulation (PTGR). Apart from non-coding RNAs e.g. micro RNAs, various RNA Binding proteins (RBPs) play essential role in PTGR. RBPs have been implicated in different stages of mRNA life cycle ranging from splicing, processing, transport, localization and decay. In last 20 years studies have shown the presence of hundreds of RBPs across eukaryotic systems many of which are widely conserved. Given the rising numBer of RBPs and their link to human diseases it is quite evident that RBPs have major role in cellular processes and their regulation. -

Molecular Characterization of Acute Myeloid Leukemia by Next Generation Sequencing: Identification of Novel Biomarkers and Targets of Personalized Therapies
Alma Mater Studiorum – Università di Bologna Dipartimento di Medicina Specialistica, Diagnostica e Sperimentale Dottorato di Ricerca in Oncologia, Ematologia e Patologia XXX Ciclo Settore Scientifico Disciplinare: MED/15 Settore Concorsuale:06/D3 Molecular characterization of acute myeloid leukemia by Next Generation Sequencing: identification of novel biomarkers and targets of personalized therapies Presentata da: Antonella Padella Coordinatore Prof. Pier-Luigi Lollini Supervisore: Prof. Giovanni Martinelli Esame finale anno 2018 Abstract Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a hematopoietic neoplasm that affects myeloid progenitor cells and it is one of the malignancies best studied by next generation sequencing (NGS), showing a highly heterogeneous genetic background. The aim of the study was to characterize the molecular landscape of 2 subgroups of AML patients carrying either chromosomal number alterations (i.e. aneuploidy) or rare fusion genes. We performed whole exome sequencing and we integrated the mutational data with transcriptomic and copy number analysis. We identified the cell cycle, the protein degradation, response to reactive oxygen species, energy metabolism and biosynthetic process as the pathways mostly targeted by alterations in aneuploid AML. Moreover, we identified a 3-gene expression signature including RAD50, PLK1 and CDC20 that characterize this subgroup. Taking advantage of RNA sequencing we aimed at the discovery of novel and rare gene fusions. We detected 9 rare chimeric transcripts, of which partner genes were transcription factors (ZEB2, BCL11B and MAFK) or tumor suppressors (SAV1 and PUF60) rarely translocated across cancer types. Moreover, we detected cryptic events hiding the loss of NF1 and WT1, two recurrently altered genes in AML. Finally, we explored the oncogenic potential of the ZEB2-BCL11B fusion, which revealed no transforming ability in vitro. -

Novel Gene Discovery in Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia
Novel Gene Discovery in Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia Mahmoud Raafat Fassad Genetics and Genomic Medicine Programme Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health University College London A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University College London 1 Declaration I, Mahmoud Raafat Fassad, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Abstract Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD) is one of the ‘ciliopathies’, genetic disorders affecting either cilia structure or function. PCD is a rare recessive disease caused by defective motile cilia. Affected individuals manifest with neonatal respiratory distress, chronic wet cough, upper respiratory tract problems, progressive lung disease resulting in bronchiectasis, laterality problems including heart defects and adult infertility. Early diagnosis and management are essential for better respiratory disease prognosis. PCD is a highly genetically heterogeneous disorder with causal mutations identified in 36 genes that account for the disease in about 70% of PCD cases, suggesting that additional genes remain to be discovered. Targeted next generation sequencing was used for genetic screening of a cohort of patients with confirmed or suggestive PCD diagnosis. The use of multi-gene panel sequencing yielded a high diagnostic output (> 70%) with mutations identified in known PCD genes. Over half of these mutations were novel alleles, expanding the mutation spectrum in PCD genes. The inclusion of patients from various ethnic backgrounds revealed a striking impact of ethnicity on the composition of disease alleles uncovering a significant genetic stratification of PCD in different populations. -

Combinatorial Strategies Using CRISPR/Cas9 for Gene Mutagenesis in Adult Mice
Combinatorial strategies using CRISPR/Cas9 for gene mutagenesis in adult mice Avery C. Hunker A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2019 Reading Committee: Larry S. Zweifel, Chair Sheri J. Mizumori G. Stanley McKnight Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Pharmacology 2 © Copyright 2019 Avery C. Hunker 3 University of Washington ABSTRACT Combinatorial strategies using CRISPR/Cas9 for gene mutagenesis in adult mice Avery C. Hunker Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Larry Zweifel Department of Pharmacology A major challenge to understanding how genes modulate complex behaviors is the inability to restrict genetic manipulations to defined cell populations or circuits. To circumvent this, we created a simple strategy for limiting gene knockout to specific cell populations using a viral-mediated, conditional CRISPR/SaCas9 system in combination with intersectional genetic strategies. A small single guide RNA (sgRNA) directs Staphylococcus aureus CRISPR-associated protein (SaCas9) to unique sites on DNA in a Cre-dependent manner resulting in double strand breaks and gene mutagenesis in vivo. To validate this technique we targeted nine different genes of diverse function in distinct cell types in mice and performed an array of analyses to confirm gene mutagenesis and subsequent protein loss, including IHC, cell-type specific DNA sequencing, electrophysiology, Western blots, and behavior. We show that these vectors are as efficient as conventional conditional gene knockout and provide a viable alternative to complex genetic crosses. This strategy provides additional benefits of 4 targeting gene mutagenesis to cell types previously difficult to isolate, and the ability to target genes in specific neural projections for gene inactivation. -

An Abstract of Beta-Defensin 3-Mediated Regulation of Transcriptional Changes During Oropharyngeal Candidiasis by Cole Jacob White Submitted to the Graduate Faculty as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Science Degree in Biomedical Science: Bioinformatics, Proteomics and Genomics The University of Toledo August 2018 Oropharyngeal candidiasis (OPC) is a fungal infection of the oral cavity caused by a human commensal fungus called Candida albicans. Even though C. albicans is a commensal, it can become pathogenic in immunocompromised patients. IL-17-mediated antifungal immunity has been implicated as the major pathway for fungal defense in the oral cavity. The IL-17 pathway has been found to regulate the release of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) downstream, including murine β-defensin 3 (mBD3). Murine β-defensin 3 is an antimicrobial peptide involved in the protection of the oral mucosa against pathogens. Murine BD3 can protect the oral mucosa through its direct antimicrobial activity, but it has also been found to have chemotactic properties as well.
