Molecular modelling of novel ADCY3 variant predicts a molecular target for tackling obesity

Meropi Toumba et al.

Summary: Severe early-onset obesity is often caused by single gene variations of the hypothalamic leptin-melanocortin system, with ADCY3 being a key genetic candidate. A new pathogenic variant was discovered through genomic sequencing, highlighting the potential impact on protein structure and function. These findings suggest the involvement of ADCY3 in the disease.

Transcriptome-wide analyses of adipose tissue in outbred rats reveal genetic regulatory mechanisms relevant for human obesity

Wesley L. Crouse et al.

Summary: This study conducted transcriptomic analysis in metabolically active tissues of outbred heterogeneous stock (HS) rats and humans, identifying consensus genes and networks associated with body weight/body mass index (BW/BMI). The identified genes and networks are involved in various metabolic processes, expanding our understanding of the genetics underlying obesity.

Sept8/SEPTIN8 involvement in cellular structure and kidney damage is identified by genetic mapping and a novel human tubule hypoxic model

Gregory R. Keele et al.

Summary: Genetic and environmental factors contribute to chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression. This study identified QTL associated with urinary protein excretion (UPE) and CKD-related serum biochemistries in HS rats, highlighting Sept8 as a candidate gene for UPE. Integration of genetic models with in vitro models provides insights into gene-environment interactions in CKD risk.

A Genome-Wide Association Study of Novel Genetic Variants Associated With Anthropometric Traits in Koreans

Hye-Won Cho et al.

Summary: Most previous GWAS studies on anthropometric traits focused on European populations, while this study involving Korean individuals identified new genetic factors associated with these traits. Comparisons with previous studies revealed novel loci and unique genetic variants specific to the Asian population. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the genetic effects on anthropometric phenotypes in East Asians.

The trans-ancestral genomic architecture of glycemic traits

Ji Chen et al.

Summary: A meta-analysis of GWAS including up to 281,416 individuals without diabetes identified 242 loci associated with glycemic traits, with 99 novel loci discovered. The trans-ancestry approach in the study improved the discovery of new loci and the fine-mapping of variants.
