Cervical cancer is caused by a combination of environmental and genetic risk factors. Infection by oncogenic types of human papillomavirus is recognized as the major environmental risk factor and epidemiological studies indicate that host genetic factors predispose to disease development.

A number of genetic susceptibility factors have been proposed, but with exception of the human leukocyte antigen CHLA, class II, have not shown consistent results among studies. We have performed the first genomewide linkage scan using affected sib-pairs to identify loci involved in susceptibility to cervical cancer.

A two-step qualitative non-parametric linkage analysis using microsatellites with an average spacing of These regions were further analysed with markers to increase the map density to 1. These three regions have previously been connected to human cancers that share characteristics with cervical carcinoma, such as esophageal cancer and Hodgkin's lymphoma.

A number of candidate genes involved in defence against viral infections, immune response and tumour suppression are found in these regions. We propose that the 9q32 region contains susceptibility locus for cervical cancer and that TSCOT is a candidate gene potentially involved in the genetic predisposition to this disease. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ALS is a devastating, adult-onset neurodegenerative disorder of the upper and lower motor systems.

It leads to paresis, muscle wasting and inevitably to death, typically within 35 years. However, disease onset and survival vary considerably ranging in extreme cases from a few months to several decades. The genetic and environmental factors underlying this variability are of great interest as potential therapeutic targets. In ALS, men are affected more often and have an earlier age of onset than women. This gender difference is recapitulated in transgenic rodent models, but no underlying mechanism has been elucidated.

Here we report that SNPs in the brain-specific promoter region of the transcriptional co-activator PGC-1, a master regulator of metabolism, modulate age of onset and survival in two large and independent ALS populations and this occurs in a strictly male-specific manner. In complementary animal studies, we show that deficiency of full-length FL Pgc-1 leads to a significantly earlier age of onset and a borderline shortened survival in male, but not in female ALS-transgenic mice.

In summary, we indentify PGC-1 as a novel and clinically relevant disease modifier of human and experimental ALS and report a sex-dependent effect of PGC-1 in this neurodegenerative disorder.

To identify new risk loci, we carried out a genome-wide meta-analysis on surgery-confirmed cases and controls, with replication in a set of cases and controls. By combining the largest collection of IHPS cases to date cases , with results generalized across populations of different ancestry, we elucidate novel mechanistic avenues of IHPS disease architecture. Genetic analysis of the diabetic GK rat has revealed several diabetes susceptibility loci.

Congenic strains have been established for the major diabetes locus, Niddm1, by transfer of GK alleles onto the genome of the normoglycemic F rat. Niddm1 was dissected into two subloci, physically separated in the congenic strains Niddm1b and Niddm1i, each with at least one disease susceptibility gene.

Here we have mapped Niddm1b to 1 cM by genetic and pathophysiological characterization of new congenic substrains for the locus. However, when the H18R and AV variants were studied separately, no effects were observed, demonstrating a synergistic effect of the two variants on insulin degradation. No effect on insulin degradation was observed in cell lysates, indicating that the effect is coupled to receptor-mediated internalization of insulin. Congenic rats with the IDE: GK allele displayed post-prandial hyperglycemia, reduced lipogenesis in fat cells, blunted insulin-stimulated glucose transmembrane uptake and reduced insulin degradation in isolated muscle.

Accumulation of amyloid-beta A beta in synaptic mitochondria is associated with mitochondrial and synaptic injury. The underlying mechanisms and strategies to eliminate A beta and rescue mitochondrial and synaptic defects remain elusive.

Presequence protease PreP , a mitochondrial peptidasome, is a novel mitochondrial A beta degrading enzyme. Here, we demonstrate for the first time that increased expression of active human PreP in cortical neurons attenuates Alzheimer disease's AD -like mitochondrial amyloid pathology and synaptic mitochondrial dysfunction, and suppresses mitochondrial oxidative stress. Notably, PreP-overexpressed AD mice show significant reduction in the production of proinflammatory mediators.

Accordingly, increased neuronal PreP expression improves learning and memory and synaptic function in vivo AD mice, and alleviates A beta-mediated reduction of long-term potentiation LTP. Our results provide in vivo evidence that PreP may play an important role in maintaining mitochondrial integrity and function by clearance and degradation of mitochondrial A beta along with the improvement in synaptic and behavioral function in AD mouse model.

Gitelmańs syndrome GS is an inherited recessive disorder caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous loss of function mutations of the NaCl cotransporter NCCT gene encoding the kidney-expressed NCCT, the pharmacological target of thiazide diuretics. As the phenotype of GS patients, who always carry two mutant alleles, is indistinguishable from that seen in patients treated with high-dose thiazide diuretics, we aimed at investigating whether subjects carrying one mutated NCCT allele have a phenotype resembling that of treatment with low-dose thiazide diuretics.

We screened first-degree relatives of 18 of our patients with an established clinical end genetic diagnosis of GS for NCCT loss of function mutations and identified 35 healthy subjects carrying one mutant allele GS-heterozygotes. GS-heterozygotes had markedly lower blood pressure systolic There was no significant difference between the groups either in plasma concentration or urinary excretion rate of electrolytes, however, GS-heterozygotes had higher fasting plasma glucose concentration.

Similar to patients being treated with low-dose thiazide diuretics, GS-heterozygotes have markedly lower blood pressure and slightly higher fasting plasma glucose compared with control subjects. However, as our study had a case-control design, it is important to underline that any potential effects on population blood pressure and risk of future cardiovascular disease need to be examined in prospective and population-based studies.

Candidate gene and genome-wide association studies GWAS have identified 15 independent genomic regions associated with bladder cancer risk. In a combined analysis, which included data on up to 15 cases and controls, two SNPs achieved genome-wide statistical significance: rs in a gene desert at 20p Imputation and fine-mapping analyses were performed in these two regions for a subset of bladder cancer cases and 10 controls.

Analyses at the 13q34 region suggest a single signal marked by rs In contrast, we detected two signals in the 20p The second 20p Functional analyses are needed to explore the biological mechanisms underlying these novel genetic associations with risk for bladder cancer. To discover additional risk variants, we conducted a new GWAS of bladder cancer cases and controls, followed by a meta-analysis with two independently published bladder cancer GWAS, resulting in a combined analysis of cases and 11 controls of European descent.

Two new loci achieved genome-wide statistical significance: rs on 3q Two notable loci were also identified that approached genome-wide statistical significance: rs on 20p In conclusion, our study has identified new susceptibility alleles for bladder cancer risk that require fine-mapping and laboratory investigation, which could further understanding into the biological underpinnings of bladder carcinogenesis.

We report on two germline mutations p. Gly39dup and p. Val55Met in RRAS, a gene encoding a small monomeric GTPase controlling cell adhesion, spreading and migration, underlying a rare 2 subjects among individuals analysed and variable phenotype with features partially overlapping Noonan syndrome, the most common RASopathy.

We also identified somatic RRAS mutations p. Identification of mutations at familial loci for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ALS has provided novel insights into the aetiology of this rapidly progressing fatal neurodegenerative disease. However, genome-wide association studies GWAS of the more common 90 sporadic form have been less successful with the exception of the replicated locus at 9p We analysed a total of 13 individuals, cases and controls for almost 7 million single-nucleotide polymorphisms SNPs.

We identified a novel locus with genome-wide significance at 17q Furthermore, we confirmed the previously reported association at 9p Finally, we estimated the contribution of common variation to heritability of sporadic ALS as 12 using a linear mixed model accounting for all SNPs. Our results provide an insight into the genetic structure of sporadic ALS, confirming that common variation contributes to risk and that sufficiently powered studies can identify novel susceptibility loci.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy HCM is characterized by asymmetric left ventricular hypertrophy, diastolic dysfunction and myocardial disarray. HCM is caused by mutations in sarcomeric genes, but in 40 of patients, the mutation is not yet identified. We hypothesized that FHL1, encoding four-and-a-half-LIM domains 1, could be another disease gene since it has been shown to cause distinct myopathies, sometimes associated with cardiomyopathy.

We evaluated HCM patients, devoid of a mutation in known disease genes. We identified three novel variants in FHL1 c. Whereas the c. Gene transfer of the latter variants in C2C12 myoblasts and cardiac myocytes revealed reduced levels of FHL1 mutant proteins, which could be rescued by proteasome inhibition. Contractility measurements after adeno-associated virus transduction in rat-engineered heart tissue EHT showed: i higher and lower forces of contraction with K45Sfs and CS, respectively, and ii prolonged contraction and relaxation with both mutants.

All mutants except one activated the fetal hypertrophic gene program in EHT. Despite considerable knowledge on the genetic basis of mitochondrial disorders, their pathophysiological consequences remain poorly understood.

We previously used two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis analyses to define a protein profile characteristic for respiratory chain complex III-deficiency that included a significant overexpression of cytosolic gelsolin GSN , a cytoskeletal protein that regulates the severing and capping of the actin filaments. Biochemical and immunofluorescence assays confirmed a specific increase of GSN levels in the mitochondria from patients' fibroblasts and from transmitochondrial cybrids with complex III assembly defects.

A similar effect was obtained in control cells upon treatment with antimycin A in a dose-dependent manner, showing that the enzymatic inhibition of complex III is sufficient to promote the mitochondrial localization of GSN.

Mitochondrial subfractionation showed the localization of GSN to the mitochondrial outer membrane, where it interacts with the voltage-dependent anion channel protein 1 VDAC1. In control cells, VDAC1 was present in five stable oligomeric complexes, which showed increased levels and a modified distribution pattern in the complex III-deficient cybrids.

Downregulation of GSN expression induced cell death in both cell types, in parallel with the specific accumulation of VDAC1 dimers and the release of mitochondrial cytochrome c into the cytosol, indicating a role for GSN in the oligomerization of VDAC complexes and in the prevention of apoptosis.

Our results demonstrate that respiratory chain complex III dysfunction induces the physiological upregulation and mitochondrial location of GSN, probably to promote cell survival responses through the modulation of the oligomeric state of the VDAC complexes.

These mutations alter the predicted DNA hairpin structure with a predicted increase in the likelihood of large expansion, supporting the model that hairpin loop formation plays an important role in trinucleotide instability. Genome-wide association studies have been successful in identifying common variants that influence the susceptibility to complex diseases.

From these studies, it has emerged that there is substantial overlap in susceptibility loci between diseases. In line with those findings, we hypothesized that shared genetic pathways may exist between multiple sclerosis MS and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ALS.

While both diseases may have inflammatory and neurodegenerative features, epidemiological studies have indicated an increased co-occurrence within individuals and families. To this purpose, we combined genome-wide data from MS patients, ALS patients and 12 healthy control individuals in whom 5 single-nucleotide polymorphisms SNPs were successfully genotyped or imputed.

We tested these SNPs for the excess association shared between MS and ALS and also explored whether polygenic models of SNPs below genome-wide significance could explain some of the observed trait variance between diseases. Genome-wide association meta-analysis of SNPs as well as polygenic analyses fails to provide evidence in favor of an overlap in genetic susceptibility between MS and ALS. Hence, our findings do not support a shared genetic background of common risk variants in MS and ALS.

A common cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ALS is mutations in the gene encoding superoxide dismutase There is evolving circumstantial evidence that the wild-type protein can also be neurotoxic and that it may more generally be involved in the pathogenesis of ALS.

To test this proposition more directly, we generated mice that express wild-type human superoxide dismutase-1 at a rate close to that of mutant superoxide dismutase-1 in the commonly studied G93A transgenic model. These mice developed an ALS-like syndrome and became terminally ill after around days. The loss of spinal ventral neurons was similar to that in the G93A and other mutant superoxide dismutase-1 models, and large amounts of aggregated superoxide dismutase-1 were found in spinal cords, but also in the brain.

The findings show that wild-type human superoxide dismutase-1 has the ability to cause ALS in mice, and they support the hypothesis of a more general involvement of the protein in the disease in humans. Revertant mosaicism RM is a naturally occurring phenomenon where the pathogenic effect of a germline mutation is corrected by a second somatic event.

Development of healthy-looking skin due to RM has been observed in patients with various inherited skin disorders, but not in connexin-related disease. We aimed to clarify the underlying molecular mechanisms of suspected RM in the skin of a patient with keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness KID syndrome.

The patient was diagnosed with KID syndrome due to characteristic skin lesions, hearing deficiency and keratitis.

  • Notably, the methylation status of CpG residues within the CTCF target site appears to distinguish monoallelic and biallelic expression states. A similar set of polymorphisms as in the IBD study were genotyped in a cohort of MS patients and controls. Recent studies suggest that WNT genes may contribute to the etiology of bladder exstrophy.
