Multitrait genetic association analysis identifies 50 new risk loci for gastro-oesophageal reflux, seven new loci for Barrett's oesophagus and provides insights into clinical heterogeneity in reflux diagnosis

Jue-Sheng Ong et al.

Summary: Researchers identified numerous novel risk loci for GERD and BE using a multitrait GWAS model, providing strong evidence for a genetic basis of disease heterogeneity in GERD. They showed that GERD loci associated with obesity are better predictors of BE/EA compared to those associated with depressive symptoms.

Genetic analysis of endometriosis and depression identifies shared loci and implicates causal links with gastric mucosa abnormality

Emmanuel O. Adewuyi et al.

Summary: Observational studies suggest a co-occurrence of endometriosis and depression, with genetic overlap and a causal effect of depression on endometriosis identified through GWAS data analysis. Further investigation revealed potential therapeutic targets related to gastric mucosa abnormalities in the causal pathways of endometriosis and depression.

Genome-wide meta-analysis, fine-mapping and integrative prioritization implicate new Alzheimer's disease risk genes

Jeremy Schwartzentruber et al.

Summary: A genome-wide AD meta-analysis identified 37 risk loci, including new associations near CCDC6, TSPAN14, NCK2, and SPRED2. By fine-mapping SNPs and using functional annotation, 21 SNPs with >50% probability of being causally involved in AD risk were identified. Protein interaction networks and tissue-specific expression helped prioritize genes, leading to the discovery of likely causal genes.

Genetic Evidence for Different Adiposity Phenotypes and Their Opposing Influences on Ectopic Fat and Risk of Cardiometabolic Disease

Susan Martin et al.

Summary: This study identified two clusters of adiposity genetic variants: one with adverse metabolic effects (UFA) and the other with favorable metabolic effects (FA). Adiposity-increasing alleles were associated with different metabolic profiles and risks of diseases for UFA and FA variants. Understanding the difference between FA and UFA may provide new insights for preventing, predicting, and treating cardiometabolic diseases.

Parkinson mice show functional and molecular changes in the gut long before motoric disease onset

Manuela Gries et al.

Summary: The study identified potential biomarkers for early PD in A30P mice before hallmark symptoms appear, including delayed gut motility and early molecular dysregulation in the myenteric plexus. These biomarkers were also found in PD patients, suggesting a novel approach for biomarker identification in humans.

A genome-wide association study with 1,126,563 individuals identifies new risk loci for Alzheimer's disease

Douglas P. Wightman et al.

Summary: This study identified seven new genetic loci associated with Alzheimer's disease through a genome-wide association study, implicating microglia and immune cells in late-onset disease. The research highlights the relevance of microglia, immune cells, and protein catabolism to late-onset Alzheimer's disease, while prioritizing previously unidentified genes for further investigation. The results are expected to contribute to larger meta-analyses to uncover additional genetic variants affecting Alzheimer's pathology.

A review of the mechanisms underlying selected comorbidities in Alzheimer's disease

Karolina Maciejewska et al.

Summary: Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that mainly affects elderly individuals, and is often associated with conditions like hypercholesterolemia and hypertension. It could lead to comorbidities such as psychosis and depression. A better understanding of these comorbidities and effective use of medications may help control disease progression.

The gut-brain axis and Parkinson disease: clinical and pathogenetic relevance

Elisa Menozzi et al.

Summary: Gastrointestinal disorders are a significant issue for patients with Parkinson's disease, potentially caused by intestinal inflammation and changes in gut microbiota, but the mechanisms remain unclear. PD patients often experience a variety of gastrointestinal symptoms, impacting their quality of life. Despite research attention, understanding and management of gastrointestinal disorders in PD patients continue to be inadequate.

Common genetic associations between age-related diseases

Handan Melike Donertas et al.

Summary: Utilizing genetic and demographic data from the UK Biobank, researchers identified four disease clusters based on age-of-onset profiles, with diseases within the same cluster showing increased genetic similarity, potentially indicating common etiologies. Two clusters were associated with aging-related genes, exhibiting differences in functional enrichment and evolutionary profiles, as well as age-related expression and methylation changes. The study also provided support for both mutation accumulation and antagonistic pleiotropy theories of aging.
