Post-synaptic scaffold protein TANC2 in psychiatric and somatic disease risk

Lillian Garrett et al.

Summary: Understanding the shared genetic aetiology of psychiatric and medical comorbidity in neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) could lead to improved diagnosis and treatment options for patients. This study focuses on the TANC2 gene and its disruption in NDD patients, showing its role in both psychiatric and medical symptoms. The study also reveals the pleiotropic effects of TANC2 in multiple systems outside the brain, such as growth failure and hepatocellular damage. The findings suggest that TANC2 disruption increases the risk for comorbid somatic disease and highlight the importance of holistic diagnosis and treatment for NDD patients.

Pleiotropy data resource as a primer for investigating co-morbidities/multi-morbidities and their role in disease

Violeta Munoz-Fuentes et al.

Summary: Most current biomedical and protein research primarily focuses on a small number of genes, while the IMPC initiative aims to elucidate gene function at scale for poorly characterized genes. By implementing a broad phenotyping pipeline, the IMPC is able to uncover pleiotropy and discover new gene-disease associations. This is essential for increasing our understanding of the mammalian genome and generating new research opportunities.

Identifying genetic determinants of inflammatory pain in mice using a large-scale gene-targeted screen

Janine M. Wotton et al.

Summary: This study utilized a genetic screen to identify 13 genes associated with nociception in a set of 110 single-gene knockout mouse strains. Two of the genes had been previously reported, one gene had known relevance to pain modulation in human studies. The remaining 10 genes may reveal new pathways involved in nociception and could serve as models for therapeutic target validation and drug development.

Skeletal screening IMPC/KOMP using μCT and computer automated cryohistology: Application to the Efna4 KO mouse line

David W. Rowe et al.

Summary: The IMPC/KOMP program conducts global tissue phenotyping surveys on mice with well-defined gene-inactivation mutations. A secondary screening method using mu CT and cryohistolomorphological workflow was initiated to evaluate bone tissue characteristics in more detail. This screening protocol aims to strike a balance between throughput, cost, sensitivity, and informativeness for the skeletal biology community.

Open Targets Platform: supporting systematic drug-target identification and prioritisation

David Ochoa et al.

Summary: The Open Targets Platform provides a queryable knowledgebase and user interface for systematic target identification and prioritization for drug discovery, continuously improving evidence for target-disease relationships from various data sources. They have developed a new evidence scoring framework, added evaluation of post-marketing adverse drug reactions and target tractability, and optimized user interface and backend technologies to address the challenge of developing effective and safe drugs.

LAMA: automated image analysis for the developmental phenotyping of mouse embryos

Neil R. Horner et al.

Summary: The use of automated annotation technology in high-throughput embryo pipelines allows for rapid integration of large volumes of 3D imaging data. By utilizing wild-type control data, issues such as low mutant sample numbers and incomplete penetrance are addressed. Additionally, research has shown that developmental substages have an impact on automated phenotyping results.
