KBG syndrome (KBGS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by the Ankyrin Repeat Domain 11 (ANKRD11) haploinsufficiency. Here, we report the molecular investigations performed on a cohort of 33 individuals with KBGS clinical suspicion. By using a mu...

ANKRD26-related thrombocytopenia (ANKRD26-RT) is characterized by lifelong mild to moderate thrombocytopenia. Patients suffer from an increased susceptibility to acute or chronic myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, or chronic lymphocytic leuk...

Ankyrin repeats, the most common protein–protein interaction motifs in nature, are widely present in proteins of both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. Ankyrin repeat-containing proteins play diverse biological functions. Here, we identified th...

Redox imbalance of the endothelial cells (ECs) plays a causative role in a variety of cardiovascular diseases. In order to better understand the molecular mechanisms of the endothelial response to oxidative stress, the involvement of circular RNAs (c...

Tenderness is one of the most important meat quality traits and it can be measured through shear force with the Warner–Bratzler test. In the current study, we use the RNA-seq technique to analyze the transcriptome of Longissimus dorsi (LD) musc...

Background: Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is initiated in bone marrow due to chromosomal translocation t(9;22) leading to fusion oncogene BCR-ABL. Targeting BCR-ABL by tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) has changed fatal CML into an almost curable di...

With the development of society, the incidence of dementia and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in the elderly has been increasing. Although the correlation between T2DM and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) has been confirmed in the previous literature, the int...

The main goal of this study was to pinpoint functional candidate genes associated with multiple economically important traits in Nellore cattle. After quality control, 1830 genomic regions sourced from 52 scientific peer-reviewed publications were us...

During the postnatal stages, skeletal muscle development undergoes a series of meticulously regulated alterations in gene expression. However, limited studies have employed chromatin accessibility to unravel the underlying molecular mechanisms govern...

In this preliminary pilot study, we investigated the specific genes implicated in the therapeutic response to acupuncture in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Transcriptome alterations following acupuncture in blood samples collected during our...

Meat quality has a close relationship with fat and connective tissue; therefore, screening and identifying functional genes related to lipid metabolism is essential for the production of high-grade beef. The transcriptomes of the Longissimus dorsi mu...

Background: Childhood myelodysplastic neoplasm (cMDS) often raises concerns about an underlying germline predisposition, and its verification is necessary to guide therapeutic choice and allow family counseling. Here, we report a novel constitutional...

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an inherited disorder of the myocardium, and pathogenic mutations in the sarcomere genes myosin heavy chain 7 (MYH7) and myosin-binding protein C (MYBPC3) explain 60%–70% of observed clinical cases. The hete...

Exosomal regulation is intimately involved in key cellular processes, such as migration, proliferation, and adhesion. By participating in the regulation of basic mechanisms, extracellular vesicles are important in intercellular signaling and the func...

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb.). Our integrative analysis aims to identify the transcriptional profiling and gene expression signature that distinguish individuals with active TB (ATB) disease,...

Current attempts to prevent and manage type 2 diabetes have been moderately effective, and a better understanding of the molecular roots of this complex disease is important to develop more successful and precise treatment options. Recently, we initi...

Neuropathic pain (NP) is a debilitating chronic pain condition with complex molecular mechanisms and inadequate therapeutic solutions. This study aims to identify temporal transcriptomic changes in NP using multiple bioinformatics and machine learnin...

The aim of this study is to identify gene expression profiles associated with hyaluronic acid (HA) treatment of normal and osteoarthritis (OA)-like tissue-engineered cartilage. 3D cartilage micromasses were treated with tumour necrosis factor-α...

Gynostemma pentaphyllum (GP), known as “southern ginseng”, can reduce the blood pressure and blood lipid levels. In this study, 300 layer chicks of one day old were divided randomly into three groups (control group (base diet), high addit...

Mutations in the gene ankyrin repeat domain containing 11 (ANKRD11/ANCO1) play a role in neurodegenerative disorders, and its loss of heterozygosity and low expression are seen in some cancers. Here, we show that low ANCO1 mRNA and protein expression...

Early development, when many important developmental events occur, is a critical period for fish. However, research on the early development of clearhead icefish is very limited, especially in molecular research. In this study, we aimed to explore th...

Alternative splicing (AS) plays a crucial role in regulating gene expression, function, and diversity. However, limited reports exist on the identification and comparison of AS in Eastern and Western pigs. Here, we analyzed 243 transcriptome data fro...

It has been shown that tail fat content varies significantly among sheep breeds and plays a significant role in meat quality. Recently, significant efforts have been made to understand the physiological, biochemical, and genomic regulation of fat dep...

Previous genome-wide association studies did not show a consistent association between the BOLL gene (rs700651, 2q33.1) and intracranial aneurysm (IA) susceptibility. We aimed to perform an updated meta-analysis for the potential IA-susceptibility lo...

Background/Objectives: Finding single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and candidate genes that influence the expression of key traits is essential for genomic selection and helps improve the efficiency of poultry production. Here, we aimed to conduct...

Wannanhua (WH) is a pig breed indigenous to Anhui Province, China. This breed has a high intramuscular fat (IMF) content, making it an ideal model for investigating lipid deposition mechanisms in pigs. IMF content is one of the main indicators of mea...

NF-κB signalling is largely controlled by the family of ‘inhibitors of NF-κB’ (IκB). The relevant databases indicate that the genome of rainbow trout contains multiple gene copies coding for iκbα (nfkbia), i&...
