Article Abstract
Objective: Abnormal B cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) and interleukin-19 (IL-19) expression is closely related to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) pathogenesis. We aimed to determine whether polymorphisms and a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of are significantly associated with SLE susceptibility and if this is affected by synergism between and genotypes.
Methods: This observational cohort study randomly enrolled 150 patients with SLE and 150 healthy controls. Major and allele and genotype distributions were examined in the two groups. The SNP rs2243188 was determined using the TaqMan-MGB probe method. The synergistic effect between and and clinical symptoms of SLE was also analyzed.
Results: The distribution of major genotypes and common alleles, especially for genotypes 191, 193, and 197, differed significantly between patients and controls. A significant difference in the dominant genetic model was also observed between groups, but not in the recessive model. The risk of disease in individuals who carried both 195-bp and 138-bp susceptibility alleles was higher than in those carrying either allele alone.
Conclusions: This preliminary study suggested that polymorphisms and the SNP rs2243188 are closely related to the pathogenesis of SLE.

Genetic variants in HSP40 co-chaperones modulate ischemic heart disease risk.
Mol Biol Rep

Laboratory of Genomic Research, Research Institute for Genetic and Molecular Epidemiology, Kursk State Medical University, Kursk, 305041, Russia.
Background: The chaperoning system, which is responsible for protein homeostasis, plays a significant role in cardiovascular diseases. Among molecular chaperones or heat shock proteins (HSPs), the HSP40 family, the main co-chaperone of HSP70, remains largely underexplored, especially in ischemic heart disease (IHD) risk.
Materials And Results: We genotyped 834 IHD patients and 1,328 healthy controls for three SNPs (rs2034598 and rs7189628 DNAJA2 and rs4926222 DNAJB1) using probe-based real-time PCR.
Construction of a Core Germplasm and Identification of Candidate SNPs Associated with Growth Performance of Epinephelus tukula by Whole-Genome Resequencing.

Epinephelus tukula is an economically important aquaculture animal, and a major parent in grouper crossbreeding. To better preserve and exploit E. tukula germplasm resources, a core collection (containing 34 individuals derived from 10 genetic groups) was first constructed based on phenotypic growth traits and whole-genome resequencing (WGS) data.

Abnormal expression of HLA class Ib, MICA and MICB molecules is associated with the evolution of pathological conditions and clinical settings. Here, we use RNA-sequencing data from two publicly-available projects, from different human organs and tissues and at single-cell level, to present their transcriptional expression throughout the human body, in comparison to that of HLA class Ia, HLA class II, their costimulatory molecules, and the main HLA transcription factors. Our analyses for 21 target genes reveal that median gene expression differs by orders of magnitude and that the classical/non-classical HLA distinction is not absolute for overall expression.

Background: Recent research has increasingly underscored a significant correlation between gut microbiota and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Probiotics have emerged as promising adjunctive interventions for OSA. Metabolites and their related biochemical pathways have emerged as important contributors to the development of OSA.

Background: Emerging evidence suggests vitamin D plays a dual role in immune regulation, yet its interplay with genetic susceptibility in early-life allergy development remains poorly understood. This prospective cohort study investigated whether cord blood 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels interact with immunoregulatory gene variants to influence childhood food allergy risk.
Methods: A total of 1,049 mother-infant pairs from the Shanghai Allergy Cohort were stratified by cord blood 25(OH)D concentrations (<15, 15-25, >25 ng/mL).
