Article Abstract
Background: Previous studies have shown that the phosphodiesterase 4D (PDE4D) gene is a susceptibility gene for ischemic stroke (IS) primarily in elder populations. However, few studies have reported the role of the PDE4D gene polymorphisms in a young cohort.
Aims: To investigate the association between the PDE4D gene polymorphisms and young-onset IS in Chinese population.
Materials And Methods: A total of 186 young patients (18-45 years) with IS and 232 matched control subjects were recruited. Two SNPs (rs918592 and rs2910829) in PDE4D gene were genotyped by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. Odds ratio and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were calculated to test the association between the genetic factors and IS.
Results: The rs918592A/A genotype frequency and A allele frequency, rs2910829 CT/TT genotype frequency and T allele frequency of young IS group were significantly higher than those of the control group ( P < 0.05). Besides, the frequency of Hap (A-T) was remarkably higher in the young patients than that in the controls (OR =4.047, 95% CI: 3.521-4.652). Hap (A-C) and Hap (G-C) were associated with decreased risk of IS (OR =0.640, 95% CI: 0.452-0.906; OR =0.675, 95% CI: 0.466-0.978, respectively).
Conclusions: Our findings suggest that the rs918592 and rs2910829 polymorphisms and haplotypes of PDE4D gene are significantly associated with IS in Chinese young population.

Case Report: The widening genetic and phenotypic spectrum of ultra-rare PDE4D-related acroscyphodysplasia.
Front Med (Lausanne)

Research Centre for Medical Genetics, Moscow, Russia.
Acroscyphodysplasia (ASD) is an ultra-rare skeletal dysplasia characterized by severe brachydactyly, metaphyseal scaphoid knee deformities, growth retardation, and intellectual disability. To date, only seven cases of ASD have been reported, all associated with missense variants in the gene. We report a 7-year-old girl with ASD features, including midface hypoplasia, severe growth retardation (-4.

Background And Objectives: Cell lines serve as invaluable tools in studying lung cancer biology and developing new therapies to combat the disease. However, commercially available cell lines are typically of Caucasian origin and may be less representative of the local genetic background. To address this, our lab previously immortalized cells from pleural fluid of a Filipino non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patient via CDK4 transduction.

The size of the gluteus medius muscle (GM) in swine significantly impacts both hindlimb conformation and carcass yield, while little is known about the genetic architecture of this trait. This study aims to estimate genetic parameters and identify candidate genes associated with this trait through a genome-wide association study (GWAS). A total of 439 commercial crossbred pigs, possessing both Landrace and Yorkshire ancestry, were genotyped using the Porcine 50K chip.

Background: While 5hmC features in cell-free DNA (cfDNA) show promise as early biomarkers for COVID-19 severity, myocardial injury, and long-term outcomes, their specific role in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) triggered shortly after COVID-19 infection remains unclear.
Methods: We generated genome-wide 5hmC profiles from plasma cfDNA using the 5hmC-Seal technique across three cohorts: ACS patients without prior COVID-19 infection (ACS, n = 16), patients experiencing ACS within 2 months post-COVID-19 (ACS2N, n = 24), and patients experiencing ACS beyond 2 months post-COVID-19 (ACS2W, n = 28). Differential 5hmC analysis, functional enrichment (GO, KEGG), immune cell deconvolution, and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis were performed.

Wooden Breast (WB) myopathy is one of the most challenging problems facing the broiler industry. Fibrosis characterized by extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins has been recorded as the prominent pathological feature within the pectoralis major muscles affected by WB. During the process of fibrosis, fibroblasts are the key players.
