Combining evidence from Mendelian randomization and colocalization: Review and comparison of approaches

Verena Zuber et al.

Summary: Mendelian randomization and colocalization are statistical approaches used to understand relationships between traits and diseases. They differ in their objectives and interpretation. Mendelian randomization assesses causality between exposure and outcome, while colocalization assesses whether two traits are affected by the same or distinct causal variants.

Genome-wide studies reveal factors associated with circulating uromodulin and its relationships to complex diseases

Yong Li et al.

Summary: Uromodulin (UMOD) is a major risk gene for kidney disease and is highly abundant in urine. This study identified genetic variants associated with circulating uromodulin and found an upstream variant in the UMOD locus that affects its synthesis in kidney cells. The study also found shared association patterns between UMOD and complex traits like chronic kidney disease. Furthermore, the study revealed the role of glycan marks and their enzymes and receptors in uromodulin glycosylation.

UMOD and the architecture of kidney disease

Olivier Devuyst et al.

Summary: The identification of genetic factors associated with kidney disease can provide insights into its mechanisms and potential therapies. Technological advances in the last two decades have greatly advanced our understanding of the genetic architecture of chronic kidney disease. This review focuses on the UMOD gene, which codes for a kidney-specific protein, to demonstrate how genetic variation can contribute to a spectrum of kidney disorders. The study of genetic factors in disease pathogenesis and prognosis has significant therapeutic implications.

The maternal serum metabolome by multisegment injection-capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry: a high-throughput platform and standardized data workflow for large-scale epidemiological studies

Meera Shanmuganathan et al.

Summary: This study outlines a standardized protocol and data workflow for high-throughput analysis of the maternal serum metabolome, which is applied to a multi-ethnic cohort of pregnant women. The method uses multisegment injection-capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry with stringent quality control measures to detect and quantify multiple metabolites in serum with high accuracy and efficiency. By implementing this validated protocol, the study achieves robust batch correction for long-term signal drift and establishes reference intervals for serum metabolites in a diverse population of pregnant women in their second trimester.
