Article Abstract
Purpose: Previous studies have revealed that PHLDB1 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are associated with glioma risk. Nonetheless, the association between PHLDB1 SNPs and the risk of pituitary adenoma has not been studied. The present study evaluated the association of PHLDB1 SNPs with the risk of pituitary adenomas.
Methods: We genotyped 27 PHLDB1 tagging and exon SNPs in a case-control study that included 148 patients who got a diagnosis of nonfunctional pituitary adenoma (NFPA) and 375 normal controls within the Korean population. Statistical analyses of the association between PHLDB1 SNPs and the NFPA risk were conducted using logistic regression.
Results: We detected an association between a PHLDB1 SNP and the risk of NFPA in the Korean population. Rs67307131 in intron 2 was significantly associated with NFPA (odds ratio [OR] = 2.15, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.44-3.20; P = 0.0002 in the dominant model). In the referent analysis, a higher OR and stronger association (lower P value) were observed among patients with the "C/T" genotype (OR = 2.39, 95% CI 1.60-3.58; P = 0.00002). In a functional analysis with a SNP annotation tool, this SNP was predicted to be a CpG site and copy number variant; these properties are associated with susceptibility to diseases.
Conclusions: Our findings suggest that genetic variation of PHLDB1 may be associated with the risk of NFPA. This is the first report of an association between PHLDB1 variants and NFPA. Further research is needed to confirm the impact of this SNP on NFPA susceptibility.

Background: The germline variant rs55705857 is causal for development of mutant (mut) adult glioma. However, ~60% of mut patients do not carry the rs55705857 risk allele. We aimed to identify variants associated with developing mut glioma among patients that do not have the rs55705857 risk allele and to further understand development of wt glioma.

Objectives: Sjögren's disease (SjD) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) share genetic risk at the DDX6-CXCR5 locus (11q23.3). Identifying and functionally characterising shared SNPs spanning this locus can provide new insights into common genetic mechanisms of autoimmunity.

Fine mapping and bioinformatic analysis of the genetic risk association in Sjögren's Disease (SjD) and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) identified five common SNPs with functional evidence in immune cell types: rs4938573, rs57494551, rs4938572, rs4936443, rs7117261. Functional interrogation of nuclear protein binding affinity, enhancer/promoter regulatory activity, and chromatin-chromatin interactions in immune, salivary gland epithelial, and kidney epithelial cells revealed cell type-specific allelic effects for all five SNPs that expanded regulation beyond effects on and expression. Mapping the local chromatin regulatory network revealed several additional genes of interest, including .

Article Synopsis
- Glioma is a major form of malignant brain cancer, with glioblastoma being particularly deadly, so researchers conducted a genetic study in Australia to explore risk factors by subtype and sex.
- They analyzed genetic data for over 560 glioma cases and 2,237 controls, focusing on specific genetic variations (SNPs) linked to glioma risk, using logistic regression for their analysis.
- The study confirmed earlier findings about certain genetic regions related to glioma risk, particularly emphasizing a stronger risk association in females for the 8q24.21 region, suggesting that understanding sex differences could improve prevention and treatment strategies.

Objectives: To explore the relationship among patient-specific SNPs from one SLE family, lupus susceptibility, and laboratory indicators in a western Chinese population.
Methods: We previously performed whole exome sequencing in one SLE family and screened 5 SLE candidate SNPs. In this study, we verified them in 634 SLE patients and 400 healthy controls and analyzed the relationship between SNPs and laboratory indicators.
