Most genetic variants associated with complex diseases lie in non-coding regions, complicating efforts to identify effector genes and relevant cell types. Here, we map cis-eQTLs across 2.2 million single cells from blood and intestinal biopsies of 421 individuals, including 125 with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Background: Human genetic studies have linked loss-of-function variants in Zinc Finger MIZ-Type Containing 1 (ZMIZ1) to a spectrum of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), such as intellectual disability (ID), autism spectrum disorders (ASD), and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Recently, multiple studies have reported ZMIZ1 variants in patients with NDDs, in some cases providing detailed phenotypic descriptions of the carriers. However, how ZMIZ1 variants may contribute to the phenotypic variability of carriers and the different phenotypic manifestations of NDDs has not been explored.

Introduction: Phosphorylated ubiquitin (p-S65-Ub) is generated during PINK1-PRKN mitophagy as a specific marker of mitochondrial damage. Despite the widespread deposition of p-S65-Ub in aged and diseased human brain, the genetic contribution to its accumulation remains unclear.
Methods: To identify novel mitophagy regulators, we performed a genome-wide association study using p-S65-Ub level as a quantitative trait in 1012 autopsy-confirmed Lewy body disease (LBD) samples.

Objective: This study was aimed to identify a rare complex rearrangement and assist prenatal counseling.
Method: Mate-pair sequencing (MPseq) combined with karyotypes, copy number variants sequencing and whole exome sequencing was used to provide accurate chromosome breakpoints and assist prenatal diagnosis for a mentally retarded pregnant woman.
Result: MPseq indicated a complex rearrangement involved 25 breakpoints and fusions, disrupting 6 genes.

Opioid use disorder (OUD) affects millions of people worldwide. While it is known that OUD originates from many factors, including social and environmental factors, the role of genetic variants in developing the disease has also been reported. This study aims to investigate the genetic variants associated with the risk of developing OUD upon exposure.
