More specifically, the invention provides a panel of genes containing single nucleotide polymorphisms which had heretofore not been associated with this disease. Methods and kits for using the sequences so identified for diagnostic and therapeutic treatment purposes are also provided, as are therapeutic compositions for management of diabetes. 10 BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Type I diabetes (TID) results from the autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells, a process believed to be strongly influenced by multiple genes and environmental factors. The incidence of T1D has been increasing in Western 15 countries and has more than doubled in the United States over the past 30 years. The disease shows a strong familial component, with first-degree relatives of cases being at 15 times greater risk of T1D than a randomly selected member of the general population and monozygotic twins being concordant for T1D at a frequency of approximately 50%. However, while the genetic evidence is strong, the latter data suggests that an interplay with environmental factors also plays a key role in influencing T1D outcome. 20 [0003] The familial clustering of T1D is influenced by multiple genes. Variation in four loci has already been established to account for a significant proportion of the familial aggregation of T1D. These include the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) region on 6p21 (including theHLA-DRB1 , -DQA1 and -DRQ1 genes1); the insulin/insulin-like growth factor 2 gene complex (INS-IGF2) on 11p152-4, the protein tyrosine phosphatase-22 (PTPN22) gene on 1p135,6 and the gene encoding cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA4) on 2q317,8. The interleukin-2 receptor alpha 25 (CD25) locus on 10p15 9 has also been implicated in the pathogenesis of T1D but remains to be replicated by independent studies. In addition, spontaneous mouse model studies of T1D have implicated numerous other regions that have been confirmed in replication studies10. Several other loci have also been implicated in human association studies with T1D but the effects of these implicated genes remain controversial and are subject to confirmation in independent studies utilizing sufficient sample sizes. Together, these studies suggest that many more T1D susceptibility genes remain to be 30 discovered. It is also clear that there are differences in genetic susceptibility to T1D between populations. An explanation for this variation may be related to differing frequencies of T1D causative and protective variants between different populations and ethnic groups, a hypothesis that needs to be addressed in multi-center, multi-national studies that are truly transcontinental. [0004] Kantárová and co-workers (Kantárová et al., 2006, Physiological Research, 56(3):255-266) have described 35 SNPs at HLA, INS (Insuline), CTLA-4, PTPN22 and other genes associated with susceptibility to T1D. Association of alterations at 16p13 region or at the KIA0350 locus of chromosome 16 with susceptibility to T1D was not described. [0005] Bartsocas and co-workers (Bartsocas et al., 2006, Pediatric Endocrinology Reviews, 3 (suppl. 3):508-523) have described SNPs at HLA, INS and PTPN22 among other genes associated with T1D. Association of alterations at 16p13 region or at the KIA0350 locus of chromosome 16 with susceptibility to T1D was not described. 40 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0006] In accordance with the present invention, T1D-associated SNPs have been identified which are indicative of an increased or reduced risk of developing T1D. Thus, described herein are nuleic acids comprising at least one genetic 45 alteration identified in Tables 1-3 are provided. Such nucleic acids and the proteins encoded thereby have utility in the diagnosis and management of type 1 diabetes (T1D). [0007] In one aspect of the invention, methods for assessing susceptibility for developing T1D are provided. An ex- emplary method entails providing a target nucleic acid from a patient sample, said target nucleic acid having a prede- termined sequence in the normal population, and assessing said target nucleic acid for the presence of a single nucleotide 50 polymorphism which is indicative of an increased or decreased risk of developing T1D. Such genetic alterations include, without limitation, inversion, deletion, duplication, and insertion of at least one nucleotide in said sequence. [0008] The genetic alteration is a single nucleotide polymorphism at the KIAA0350 locus region of chromosome 16.

  • Genome-Scale Single-Cell Mechanical Phenotyping Reveals Disease-Related Genes Involved in Mitotic Rounding
    ARTICLE DOI: 10.1038/s41467-017-01147-6 OPEN Genome-scale single-cell mechanical phenotyping reveals disease-related genes involved in mitotic rounding Yusuke Toyoda 1,2, Cedric J. Cattin3, Martin P. Stewart 3,4,5, Ina Poser1, Mirko Theis6, Teymuras V. Kurzchalia1, Frank Buchholz1,6, Anthony A. Hyman1 & Daniel J. Müller 3 To divide, most animal cells drastically change shape and round up against extracellular confinement. Mitotic cells facilitate this process by generating intracellular pressure, which the contractile actomyosin cortex directs into shape. Here, we introduce a genome-scale microcantilever- and RNAi-based approach to phenotype the contribution of > 1000 genes to the rounding of single mitotic cells against confinement. Our screen analyzes the rounding force, pressure and volume of mitotic cells and localizes selected proteins. We identify 49 genes relevant for mitotic rounding, a large portion of which have not previously been linked to mitosis or cell mechanics. Among these, depleting the endoplasmic reticulum-localized protein FAM134A impairs mitotic progression by affecting metaphase plate alignment and pressure generation by delocalizing cortical myosin II. Furthermore, silencing the DJ-1 gene uncovers a link between mitochondria-associated Parkinson’s disease and mitotic pressure. We conclude that mechanical phenotyping is a powerful approach to study the mechanisms governing cell shape. 1 Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics, Pfotenhauerstrasse 108, 01307 Dresden, Germany. 2 Division of Cell Biology, Life Science Institute, Kurume University, Hyakunen-Kohen 1-1, Kurume, Fukuoka 839-0864, Japan. 3 Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering (D-BSSE), Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule (ETH) Zurich, Mattenstrasse 26, 4058 Basel, Switzerland.

While mitophagy is critical to pancreatic β-cell function, the post-translational signals governing β-cell mitochondrial turnover are unknown. Here we report that ubiquitination is essential for the assembly of a mitophagy regulatory complex, comprised of the E3 ligase Nrdp1, the deubiquitinase enzyme USP8, and Clec16a, a mediator of β-cell mitophagy with unclear function. We discover that the diabetes gene Clec16a encodes an E3 ligase, which promotes non-degradative ubiquitin conjugates to direct its mitophagy effectors and stabilize the Clec16a-Nrdp1-USP8 complex.

  • Genome-Wide DNA Methylation Dynamics During Epigenetic
    Gómez‑Redondo et al. Clin Epigenet (2021) 13:27 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13148‑021‑01003‑x RESEARCH Open Access Genome‑wide DNA methylation dynamics during epigenetic reprogramming in the porcine germline Isabel Gómez‑Redondo1*† , Benjamín Planells1†, Sebastián Cánovas2,3, Elena Ivanova4, Gavin Kelsey4,5 and Alfonso Gutiérrez‑Adán1 Abstract Background: Prior work in mice has shown that some retrotransposed elements remain substantially methylated during DNA methylation reprogramming of germ cells. In the pig, however, information about this process is scarce. The present study was designed to examine the methylation profles of porcine germ cells during the time course of epigenetic reprogramming. Results: Sows were artifcially inseminated, and their fetuses were collected 28, 32, 36, 39, and 42 days later. At each time point, genital ridges were dissected from the mesonephros and germ cells were isolated through magnetic‑ activated cell sorting using an anti‑SSEA‑1 antibody, and recovered germ cells were subjected to whole‑genome bisulphite sequencing. Methylation levels were quantifed using SeqMonk software by performing an unbiased analysis, and persistently methylated regions (PMRs) in each sex were determined to extract those regions showing 50% or more methylation. Most genomic elements underwent a dramatic loss of methylation from day 28 to day 36, when the lowest levels were shown. By day 42, there was evidence for the initiation of genomic re‑methylation. We identifed a total of 1456 and 1122 PMRs in male and female germ cells, respectively, and large numbers of transpos‑ able elements (SINEs, LINEs, and LTRs) were found to be located within these PMRs. Twenty‑one percent of the introns located in these PMRs were found to be the frst introns of a gene, suggesting their regulatory role in the expression of these genes.

Methylation of cytosine residues found in gene investigate methylation and gene expression patterns in the promoter regions is associated with suppression of gene expression hippocampus in response to polyphenolic compounds. We report (Schübeler, 2015). However, evidence to date has yet to establish a that the administration of a standardized bioavailable polyphenolic consistent relationship between the methylation of intronic, exonic, preparation (BDPP) differentially influences methylated cytosine or untranslated regions (UTR) and the expression pattern of the ’ patterns in introns, UTR and exons in hippocampal genes.

In addition, we showed dietary activity of (Paluszczak et al., 2010) and histone BDPP mediated changes in the transcriptional pattern of genes deacetylases (Chung et al., 2010). For example, recent evidence associated with epigenetic modifications, including members of the suggests that bioavailable metabolites derived from dietary BDPP, DNA methyl transferase family (DNMTs) and the Ten-eleven such as malvidin glucoside (Mal-Gluc), decrease the expression of translocation methylcytosine dioxygenases family (TETs).
