Article Abstract
The co-occurrence of alcohol use disorder (AUD) and schizophrenia is prevalent, with a rate of 33.7%. Previous research has suggested a genetic and epigenetic overlap between these two disorders. SSTR4, a member of the somatostatin receptor family, is implicated in various neurological and psychiatric conditions, including cognitive function, AUD, and schizophrenia. However, the role of genetic-epigenetic interactions involving SSTR4 in patients with schizophrenia remains unexplored. In this study, we conducted an integration of publicly available datasets and identified allele-specific methylation patterns in SSTR4. Additionally, we pinpointed several genetic variants (rs17691954, rs11464356, rs3109190, and rs145879288) that influence the pace of aging and cognitive functions (rs705935) through their quantitative trait loci effects on CpG sites within SSTR4.

Background: Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy 1 (FSHD1) is one of the most common autosomal dominant neuromuscular diseases. Genetic diagnosis of FSHD1 remains a challenge because of the long length and repetitive nature of D4Z4 repeats. Long-read sequencing is an effective method for detecting FSHD1, but sequencing depth remains a limitation.

Congenital scoliosis (CS), a severe form of early-onset scoliosis (EOS), arises from vertebral malformations during embryogenesis, driven by complex genetic and environmental interactions. This review synthesizes recent advances in understanding CS etiology, diagnosis, and treatment. Genetically, CS is linked to mutations in TBX6, GDF3, DSTYK, and COL11A2, alongside copy number variations (CNVs) and epigenetic modifications such as allele-specific methylation in SVIL and TNS3.

: Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common malignancy of the endocrine system, characterized by various molecular alterations. This study evaluates the relationship between p16 promoter methylation status, BRAFV600E mutation presence, and ETS1 (E26 transformation-specific) expression, aiming to better understand their clinical significance and to enhance the risk stratification of PTC patients. : p16 promoter methylation was analyzed by methylation-specific PCR (MSP), BRAFV600E by mutant allele-specific PCR amplification (MASA), ETS1 mRNA expression by quantitative PCR (qPCR), ETS1 protein expression by immunohistochemistry (IHC), and Western blot.

A major goal in evolutionary biology and biomedicine is to understand the complex interactions between genetic variants, the epigenome, and gene expression. However, the causal relationships between these factors remain poorly understood. mSTARR-seq, a methylation-sensitive massively parallel reporter assay, is capable of identifying methylation-dependent regulatory activity at many thousands of genomic regions simultaneously and allows for the testing of causal relationships between DNA methylation and gene expression on a region-by-region basis.
