Article Abstract
Dear Editor, in this study, we propose a novel linkage disequilibrium information-based noninvasive zygosity (LDNZ) assessment method in twin pregnancies. It combines fetus-specific allele frequency analysis with LD block to reduce the number of required single nucleotide polymorphism markers and experiment costs. LDNZ method offers a noninvasive, accurate, and cost-effective solution for zygosity assessment, addressing the need for precise obstetric care in twin pregnancies.

Tea intake shows no genetic causal effect on stroke: A two-sample Mendelian randomization study based on STROBE-MR guidelines.

Observational studies have reported inconsistent links between tea intake and stroke risk. We applied two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) to clarify whether the association is causal. Following STROBE-MR guidelines, we extracted genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics for tea intake (UK Biobank, n = 447,485; GWAS ID ukb-b-6066) and stroke (UK Biobank, n = 462,933; GWAS ID ukb-b-6358), both of European ancestry.

In light of the challenges posed by global climate change, the environmental adaptability of organisms is becoming increasingly important. The Wuzhishan (WZS) pig, tolerant to high heat and humidity, is an ideal model for genomic study. By characterizing its genome and assessing its genetic diversity and runs of homozygosity (ROH), we can gain insights into its current conservation status and genomic architecture.

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.

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) relevant to osteoporosis have identified hundreds of loci; however, understanding how these variants influence the phenotype is complicated because most reside in non-coding DNA sequence that serves as transcriptional enhancers and repressors. To advance knowledge on these regulatory elements in osteoclasts (OCs), we performed Micro-C analysis, which informs on the genome topology of these cells and integrated the results with transcriptome and GWAS data to further define loci linked to BMD. Using blood cells isolated from 4 healthy participants aged 31-61 yr, we cultured OC in vitro and generated a Micro-C chromatin conformation capture dataset.

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) frequently co-occurs with autoimmune diseases (ADs), yet their shared genetic basis remains incompletely understood. This study aimed to evaluate genetic correlations between COPD and seven ADs and identify shared genetic risk loci underlying this comorbidity.
Methods: We integrated summary statistics from large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of COPD and seven ADs in European populations.
