Variant interpretation using population databases: Lessons from gnomAD

Sanna Gudmundsson et al.

Summary: Reference population databases are crucial for variant and gene interpretation, aiding in identifying pathogenic variants and discovering new disease-gene relationships. The Genome Aggregation Database is currently the largest and most widely utilized collection of population variation, accessible through the gnomAD browser for rapid and intuitive variant analysis.

Characterizing sensitivity and coverage of clinical WGS as a diagnostic test for genetic disorders

Yan Sun et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the performance of WGS on various samples and found that an appropriate mean depth can increase the sensitivity and PPV of SNV/indel detection. The Chinese trios showed good results in detection, and 8 clinical cases were successfully detected using the WGS pipeline.

Prevalence of congenital microcephaly and its risk factors in an area at risk of Zika outbreaks

Songying Shen et al.

Summary: The prevalence of microcephaly in Guangzhou was higher than expected, with maternal HBV carrier status, primiparity, preterm labor, and fetal growth restriction identified as prenatal risk factors contributing to two-thirds of the increased risk of microcephaly. This study provided the first reported association between maternal HBV carrier status and microcephaly.

The microcephaly gene Donson is essential for progenitors of cortical glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons

Sathish Venkataramanappa et al.

Summary: Mutations in the DONSON gene have been linked to skeletal abnormalities and microcephaly. Deletion of Donson in cortical progenitors led to extensive cell death and abnormalities in cortical development. Targeting Donson may be a potential strategy for experimental and therapeutic purposes.

Epigenomic profiling of primate lymphoblastoid cell lines reveals the evolutionary patterns of epigenetic activities in gene regulatory architectures

Raquel Garcia-Perez et al.

Summary: This study highlights the importance of epigenetic regulation in gene expression evolution across primates. The research reveals that epigenetic conservation in primates is dependent on the activity state of regulatory elements, with most changes occurring in weakly active elements. Human-specific regulatory elements with weak activities are enriched in genes associated with human adaptation, suggesting their role in recent human evolution.
