Identifying causal genetic variants for high-altitude adaptation through blood eQTL analysis in plateau populations

This study offers a comprehensive eQTL map and reveals causal chains of “variant-gene-phenotype” for HAA-related traits, which provides new insights into potential regulatory mechanisms and targets for prevention and treatment of altitude sickness.

Genetic evidence for a causal relationship between melatonin metabolism and depression.

To investigate the causal relevance of melatonin metabolism, which provides the biological basis for circulating melatonin levels, to specific depression symptom subtypes, we performed a targeted systematic review of melatonin metabolism pathways in the human brain and liver. Using two-sample Mendelian randomization (M...

Multi-omic characterization of the Hispanic/Latino blood lipidome reveals an additional locus and attenuated genetic prediction.

A lipidome-wide GWAS of 830 lipid species in 2,287 Hispanic/Latino participants and predictive modeling across omics layers provided a genetic landscape of lipid metabolism in a highly burdened population and highlights the challenges in predicting lipid abundance.

A Functional SNP in the Promoter Region of Ovine IDO2 Associated With Melatonin Levels via Affecting Transcription Activity by CLOCK.

Findings suggest that the g.-809C allele decreases IDO2 transcription by reducing CLOCK binding affinity, thereby potentially affecting IDO2-associated tryptophan/melatonin metabolism and increasing melatonin levels, which may contribute to photoperiodic responses in sheep.
