Article Abstract
Background: PER2 gene methylation is closely related to the occurrence and progress of some cancers, but there is no method to quantitatively detect PER2 methylation in conventional laboratories. So, we established a TaqMan real-time fluorescence quantitative methylation specific PCR (TaqMan real-time FQ-MSP) assay and use it for quantitative detection of PER2 methylation in leukemia patients.
Methods: According to the PER2 sequence searched by GenBank, a CpG sequence enrichment region of the PER2 gene promoter was selected, and the methylated and unmethylated target sequences were designed according to the law of bisulfite conversion of DNA to construct PER2 methylation positive and negative reference materials. Specific primers and probe were designed. The reference materials were continuously diluted into gradient samples by tenfold ratio to evaluate the analytical sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and reproducibility of the method, and the analytical sensitivity of TaqMan real-time FQ-MSP assay was compared with that of the conventional MSP assay. At the same time, the new-established TaqMan real-time FQ-MSP assay and the conventional MSP assay were used to detect the PER2 methylation level of 81 patients with leukemia, and the samples with inconsistent detection results of the two assays were sent to pyromethylation sequencing to evaluate the clinical detection performance.
Results: The minimum detection limit of TaqMan real-time FQ-MSP assay for detecting PER2 methylation level established in this study was 6 copies/uL, and the coefficient of variation(CV) of intra-assay and inter-assay was less than 3%. Compared with the conventional MSP assay, it has higher analytical sensitivity. For the samples with inconsistent detection results, the results of pyrosequencing and TaqMan real-time FQ-MSP assay are consistent.
Conclusion: TaqMan real-time FQ-MSP assay of PER2 methylation established in this study has high detection performance and can be used for the detection of clinical samples.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease in which dysregulated interferon regulatory factor 5 (IRF5) may amplify pro-inflammatory pathways; prior genetic studies of IRF5 single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) in RA are inconsistent across populations and have not included mestizo Mexicans or evaluated rs59110799 in RA. We aimed to test whether four IRF5 SNVs (rs2004640G/T, rs2070197T/C, rs10954213G/A, rs59110799G/T) confer susceptibility to RA in women from Central Mexico. In a case-control study of 239 women with RA and 231 female controls (all self-identified Mexican-Mestizos, ≥3 generations), genotyping was performed by real-time PCR with TaqMan® probes; 80% of samples were duplicated (100% concordance) and control genotypes conformed to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.

Recent studies suggested that treating sperm with R848, a ligand for the X-linked Toll-like receptors 7 and 8 (TLR7/8) in mice, goats, and cattle, could selectively reduce the motility of X chromosome bearing sperm (X-sperm). This reduction enables the separation of X- and Y-sperm and thereby sex selection. However, through three species and multiple methods, our results challenged prior published data.

Background: Although robust genetic markers for episodic migraine (EM) have been identified, variants associated with chronic migraine (CM) are still unknown. Given the potential pathophysiologic overlap between EM and CM, we investigated whether six single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), robustly associated with EM susceptibility (LRP1 rs11172113, PRDM16 rs10797381, FHL5 rs7775721, TRPM8 rs10166942, near TSPAN2 rs2078371 and MEF2D rs1925950) also play a role in the risk of developing CM.
Methods: A total of 200 EM and 202 CM participants were prospectively included.
The lumpy skin disease (LSD), caused by the lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV), represents an emerging infectious disease that poses substantial economic losses to the cattle industries in China. This study aimed to investigate the epidemiological characteristics of LSDV in Yunnan Province, Southwest China, from 2019 to 2023. A Taqman-probe-based real-time PCR (qPCR) assay was developed for the molecular detection of LSDV nucleotides.

Introduction: Venous malformations are the most common congenital vascular anomaly, accounting for 65 % of all congenital vascular abnormalities. This study aims to investigate the correlation between genetic polymorphisms of and the risk of developing venous malformations.
Methods: We collected samples and clinical data from a Chinese pediatric population (1113 patients and 1158 controls).
