This condition is characterised by the inability of the testis to produce sperm cells, and it is considered to have an important genetic component. During the last two decades, different genetic anomalies, including microdeletions of the Y chromosome, karyotype defects, and missense mutations in genes involved in the reproductive function, have been described as the primary cause of NOA in many infertile men. -

As technology in genome sequencing progressed, scientific efforts were made to explain and pre- dict asthma’s complexity and heterogeneity, and genome-wide association studies (GWAS) quickly became the preferred study method. Several gene markers and loci associated with asthma suscep- tibility, atopic and childhood-onset asthma were identified during the last few decades. Markers near the ORMDL3/GSDMB genes were associated with childhood-onset asthma, interleukin (IL)33 and IL1RL1 SNPs were associated with atopic asthma, and the Thymic Stromal Lymphopoietin (TSLP) gene was identified as protective against the risk to TH2-asthma. The latest efforts and advances in identifying and decoding asthma susceptibility are focused on epigenetics, heritable characteristics that affect gene expression without altering DNA sequence, with DNA methylation being the most described mechanism. Other less studied epigenetic mechanisms include histone modifications and alterations of miR expression. Recent findings suggest that the DNA methylation pattern is tissue Citation: Ntontsi, P.; Photiades, A.; and cell-specific. -

To whom correspondence should be addressed: [email protected] Abstract The coronavirus (CoV) severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic has received rapid response by the research community to offer suggestions for repurposing of approved drugs as well as to improve our understanding of the COVID-19 viral life cycle molecular mechanisms. In a short period, tens of thousands of research preprints and other publications have emerged including those that report lists of experimentally validated drugs and compounds as potential COVID-19 therapies. In addition, gene sets from interacting COVID-19 virus-host proteins and differentially expressed genes when comparing infected to uninfected cells are being published at a fast rate. To organize this rapidly accumulating knowledge, we developed the COVID-19 Gene and Drug Set Library (https://amp.pharm.mssm.edu/covid19/), a collection of gene and drug sets related to COVID-19 research from multiple sources. -
FARE2017 WINNERS Sorted by Institute/Center
FARE2017 WINNERS Sorted By Institute/Center NIH Clinical Center (CC) Zachary Lerner Postdoctoral FellowPostdoctoral Fellow Clinical and Translational Research A Robotic Exoskeleton to Treat Crouch Gait from Cerebral Palsy: Design and Initial Clinical Evaluation Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most prevalent childhood physical disability and adversely affects walking and other motor abilities. Crouch gait, a pathological walking pattern characterized by excessive knee flexion, is one of the most common gait disorders observed in children with CP. Effective treatment of crouch during childhood is critical to maintain mobility into adulthood, yet current interventions do not adequately eliminate or alleviate crouch in most patients. Wearable robotic exoskeletons have the potential to improve crouch gait by providing on demand assistance during walking. However, no exoskeletons suitable to treat children are commercially available, and no evidence exists regarding the feasibility or efficacy of utilizing motorized assistance to alleviate knee flexion from crouch gait. Enhanced knowledge of neuromuscular adaptations to powered assistance in children with crouch gait is needed to optimize this treatment approach. To meet these needs, we developed the first lower- extremity exoskeleton intended to treat crouch gait by providing powered knee extension assistance at different phases of the gait cycle. We evaluated the effects of powered knee extension assistance on knee motion, and knee flexor and extensor muscle activity in four children with crouch gait from CP. The exoskeleton was effective in reducing crouch in three of the four participants compared to their baseline gait pattern. The reduction in crouch was clinically significant (greater than 10 degrees) in two of the participants. -

May, 2018 Thesis Advisor: Dr. Gordon Freeman Xiaoxu Wang Functional Characterization of Potential New Agents for Cancer Immunotherapy Abstract PD-1/PD-L1 checkpoint blockade has demonstrated promise in a variety of malignancies. The blockade of T cell inhibitory molecules PD-1 and PD-L1 can rejuvenate T cells and improve tumor cell killing. However, the overall response rate of PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy is only about 20-30%. One promising method to improve cancer immunotherapy is combinatory immunotherapies that target new receptors/ligands regulating T cell activity, so the functional characterization of these new receptors/ligands is urgent. Due to the functional importance of the B7 superfamily in T cell activation, I studied T cell regulating functions of two poorly characterized B7 superfamily members, IgC domain-truncated CD86 and butyrophilin-like 2 (BTNL2). -
Genetic Impacts on DNA Methylation: Research Findings and Future Perspectives
Villicaña and Bell Genome Biology (2021) 22:127 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13059-021-02347-6 REVIEW Open Access Genetic impacts on DNA methylation: research findings and future perspectives Sergio Villicaña* and Jordana T. Bell *Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract Department of Twin Research and Multiple recent studies highlight that genetic variants can have strong impacts on a Genetic Epidemiology, St. Thomas’ Hospital, King’s College London, 3rd significant proportion of the human DNA methylome. Methylation quantitative trait Floor, South Wing, Block D, London loci, or meQTLs, allow for the exploration of biological mechanisms that underlie SE1 7EH, UK complex human phenotypes, with potential insights for human disease onset and progression. In this review, we summarize recent milestones in characterizing the human genetic basis of DNA methylation variation over the last decade, including heritability findings and genome-wide identification of meQTLs. We also discuss challenges in this field and future areas of research geared to generate insights into molecular processes underlying human complex traits. Keywords: DNA methylation, Heritability, GWAS, Methylation quantitative trait loci, meQTL Introduction The complexity of the human genome lies not only in its composition of billions of base pairs, but also in the chemical modifications that make it interpretable to enzymes and other molecular factors, through epigenetic mechanisms. DNA methylation has been the most widely studied epigenetic mark since 1948 when it was first reported [1]. In humans, DNA methylation consists of the covalent addition of a methyl group to cytosine residues—predominantly at CpG sites—by a family of enzymes called DNA methyltrans- ferases (DNMTs) [2, 3].
