Age at puberty is an important component of reproductive performance in cattle, so it is important to identify genes that contribute to the regulation of the onset of puberty and polymorphisms that explain differences between bulls. In a previous study, we found putative associations between age at puberty in Angus bulls and single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in Chromosomes 1 and X. In the present work we aimed to confirm these findings in a larger sample of Angus bulls (n = 276). Four SNPs located in these regions were genotyped using SEQUENOM technology and the genotypes obtained were tested for association with age at puberty. The results showed that SNPs rs135953349 and rs110604205 on BTA1 were still significantly associated with age of puberty estimated at progressive sperm motility of 10% (P < 0.05). The association previously found on Chromosome X could not be confirmed. Analysis of the bovine genome revealed that the associated region (99.17–99.99 Mb) contained four predicted loci: myelodysplasia syndrome 1 (MDS1) and ecotropic virus integration site 1 (EVI1) complex locus (MECOM), eGF-like and EMI domain-containing 1 pseudogene-like (LOC100337483), microRNA mir-551b (MIR551B) and mCG140927-like (LOC100139843). The results obtained could contribute to the understanding of puberty regulation and could be useful for further identification and annotation of gene function in the context of reproduction.

We investigated expression of the human ecotropic virus integration site-1 (EVI1) gene in patients with leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) using the reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method. The EVI1 transcripts were detected in 5 (10.0%) of 50 patients with de novo acute myeloid leukemia (AML), including two AML patients with trilineage myelodysplasia, and in 8 (34.8%) of 23 patients with post-myelodysplastic syndrome AML (post-MDS AML). EVI1 expression was also detected in 6 (35.3%) of 17 MDS patients and three of six patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in myelomegakaryoblast crisis. No EVI1 transcripts were detected in patients with acute lymphoid leukemia (n = 15) or CML in lymphoid blast crisis (n = 4). Chromosomal abnormalities at the 3q26 region, where the EVI1 gene is located, were found in one patient with MDS and two patients with CML myelomegakaryoblast crisis who had EVI1 expression. Our results showed that EVI1 expression was frequent in patients with post-MDS AML and AML with trilineage myelodysplasia, regardless of the presence or absence of 3q26 abnormalities. EVI1 expression was accompanied by expression of GATA-1 and GATA-2, and often by stem cell leukemia (SCL) gene expression. In patients with post-MDS AML, EVI1 expression was not always associated with a 3q26 abnormality, whereas EVI1 expression in CML myelomegakaryoblast crisis was often linked to a 3q26 abnormality. Our results suggest that the leukemogenic role of EVI1 expression may differ between post-MDS AML and leukemia, with EVI1 expression associated with a 3q26 abnormality.

Experiments were performed in 110 ISA Brown egg production hens (Gallus gallus), kept from 15 to 26 weeks of age in enriched (furnished) housing technology. The present objective was to investigate the presence of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the ATP2B1 gene and their effects on calcium homeostasis in laying hens. The plasma membrane calcium-transporting ATPase 1 gene (ATP2B1) in hens is located on chromosome 1, region 43 273 706 – 43 305 815 bp. The ATP2B1 gene has 21 exons, and in this study three were genotyped. In each experimental group of animals, only alleles without deletions in exon 10 and only allele A in exon 12 were found. In exon 8, only genotypes CC/CC, TT/CC and TT/TT were found. These genotypes are associated with femur breaking strength, bone diameter, bone marrow diameter and compact bone thickness. No significant effects of SNPs in exon 8 on bone characteristics were found.

<p>Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) abundant in bovine genome influence genetic variation in biological mechanism. The study aimed to identify SNPs on Indonesian cattle breeds and analyze their genetic diversity using Bovine 50K SNP chip. Twenty eight "Ongole Grade" (OG) beef cattle and 20 "Holstein Friesian" (HF) dairy cattle were used for the Infinium II assay test. This assay included amplification of genomic DNA, fragmenta-tion, precipitation, resuspension, hybridization, processing bead chip for single-base extension, and imaging at iScan. Data and clusters were analyzed using GenomeStudio software. The Bovine 50K SNP chip containing 54,609 SNPs was observed spanning all chromosomes of bovine genome. Genotyping for the total SNPs was successfull based on Call Rate, GeneCall and GeneTrain scores. Most SNP markers had alleles that shared among the individuals or breeds, or had specific alleles at distinctive frequencies. Minor allele frequency (MAF) spreads equally with intervals of 0-0.5. The breeds of OG and HF tended to be separated in different clusters without considering their genetic history and twin or normal. This result suggests that most individuals are closely related to one another, regardless of the same breed. Some genes identified on chromosomes 3, 4, 5, 7, 13, 17 and 18 were located in the loci/regions that contained SNPs with specific alleles of either HF or OG breed. These SNPs were more powerful for differentiation of beef cattle and dairy cattle than among individuals in the same breed. These SNP variations and genetic relatedness among individuals and breeds serve basic information for cattle breeding in Indonesia.</p>

Abstract Background The pathophysiology underlying Fuchs' Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy (FECD), especially in older individuals, remains unclear, with a genetic predisposition being reported as the single best predictor of the disease. Genetic studies have shown that several genes in various loci such as COL8A2, SLC4A11, TCF8/ZEB1 and TCF4 are associated with FECD in different populations and ethnicities. A case–control study was conducted to determine the association between genetic variants and FECD in a tertiary care setting in Malaysia. A total number of 12 patients with clinically diagnosed FECD and 12 age, gender and race matched control subjects were recruited. Extracted genomic DNA were genotyped using Infinium Global Screening Array (GSA)-24 version 1.0 BeadChip with iScan high-throughput system. Illumina GenomeStudio 2.0 Data Analysis and PLINK version 1.9 software were used to perform association tests and determine the distribution of obtained variants among the cases and controls. Results A significant novel genetic variant, rs11626651, a variant of the LOC105370676 gene or known as the LINC02320 gene, located at chromosome 14, has been identified as a suggestive association with FECD (p < 5 × 10−6). Further analysis in this study suggested that candidate genes such as COL8A2, ZEB1/TCF8, TCF4 and SLC4A11 had no significant associations with FECD. Conclusions The discovery of a novel variant may influence the underlying pathogenic basis of FECD in Malaysia. The current study is the first genetic study on FECD to use Infinium GSA. It is the first comprehensive report in Malaysia to provide genetic information of potential relevance to FECD, which may pave the way for new therapeutic strategies in the future. A detailed analysis with a larger sample size is recommended for further evaluation.

Purpose: Ubiquitin ligase genes can act as oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes. They play a role in various diseases, including development and progression of breast cancer; the objective of this study was to evaluate the association of common variants in the ductal-epithelium-associated RING chromosome 1 ( DEAR1) gene with breast cancer risk in a sample of Colombian population. Methods: We carried out a case-control study to investigate associations of variants in DEAR1 with breast cancer in women from Colombia. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs584298, rs2927970, rs59983645, and rs599167 were genotyped in 1022 breast cancer cases and 1023 healthy controls using the iPLEX® and Kompetitive Allele Specific PCR (polymerase chain reaction) (KASP) method. The associations between SNPs and breast cancer were examined by conditional logistic regression. The associations between SNPs and epidemiological/histopathological variables were examined by multinomial logistic regression. Results: Associations were found between tag SNPs and breast cancer adjusted for the epidemiological risk factors rs584298 genotypes AG and GG ( P = .048 and P = .004, respectively). The analysis of the disease characteristics showed that SNP rs584298 (genotype AG) ( P = .015) shows association with progesterone receptor (PR) status and (genotype AA) ( P = .048) shows association with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status. Conclusions: The SNP rs584298 in DEAR1 showed associations with breast cancer and the expression of HER2 receptor; when this receptor is amplified, the result is aggressive tumoral subtype and expression of PR receptor that is associated with high-proliferative tumor grade. Validation of this SNP is important to establish whether this variant or the tagged variant is the cause for the risk association showed.

Abstract MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in the regulation of gene expression at the posttranscriptional level and are involved in human carcinogenesis. The aim of the current study was to investigate the associations between miR-182 single nucleotide polymorphisms and HCC risk in a southern Chinese population. In this case-control study of 863 HCC patients and 908 cancer-free controls, we performed genotyping of miR-182 rs4541843 and assessed its association with HCC risk. We found that individuals carrying the AG/AA genotypes of miR-182 rs4541843 were significantly associated with an increased risk of HCC compared with those carrying the GG genotype (adjusted odds ratio (OR) = 1.71, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.07–2.76, P = 0.026). In the stratified analysis, this increased risk was more pronounced in the subgroups of older individuals (adjusted OR = 1.98, 95% CI = 1.04–3.76, P = 0.037), males (adjusted OR = 1.81, 95% CI = 1.09–2.99, P = 0.021), and never drinkers (adjusted OR = 1.84, 95% CI = 1.03–3.30, P = 0.041). Our results suggested that miR-182 polymorphism rs4541843 may contribute to the susceptibility to HCC. Our findings require validation in further studies with larger sample sizes.
