Project description:To reveal the risk CNVs of SZ in Chinese population, we recrited and enrolled 100 Chinese family trios with a schizophrenia affected children and both of their father and mother. SZ was diagnosed according to DSM-IV criteria by two independent psychiatrists. There gDNA we screen the genome-wide CNV using Agilent SurePrint G3 Human CGH Microarray Kit (1x1M) and Agilent sex-matched human DNA was used as reference. The CNV were called by ADM-2 statistical algorithms with a threshold of 6.0. We compared the burden of large rare CNVs and found that SZ probands carried more duplications and less deletions. Furtherly, we performed familial inheritance analysis of transmission disequilibrium and de novo CNV detection, validated several associated CNV loci with SZ susceptibility and also identify eight novel loci conferring risk of SZ

Project description:Using high-throughput antibody microarray, through cross-sectional sample detection and verification of samples that had undergone physical changes over time, it was found that people with balanced constitution and dampness constitution in Chinese medicine showed differences in serum protein expression. The differences were expressed as the level changes of 19 proteins such as Dectin-2, Siglec-7, AIF and TACI. The research results provided the basis for the scientific expression of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) constitution.

Project description:Objective: Intellectual disability (ID) is often sporadic, and its complex etiology can make clinical diagnosis difficult. The aims of this study were to detect genomic copy number variations (CNVs) in Chinese patients with ID, and to analyze the correlation between pathogenic CNVs and clinical phenotypes. Methods: After excluding cases of ID caused by chromosomal aneuploidy, metabolic dysfunction, or environmental factors, we enrolled 60 patients with moderate to severe ID. We performed karyotype and single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array analyses for all patients. Finally, we analyzed the relationship between CNVs and phenotype using CNV databases and genotype-phenotype comparisons. Results: Karyotype analysis showed chromosomal terminal abnormalities in five patients and balanced translocations in two patients. Using SNP array analysis for 60 patients, we detected 87 CNVs in 45 patients, which included 16 pathogenic CNVs in 12 patients with a diagnostic yield of 20.0% (12/60). In one patient, we observed 14 regions of homozygosity > 10 Mb to 266 Mb. We detected a large deletion at 16q22.2 or 3q24q25 in each of two patients, in regions that have not previously been associated with specific syndromes. One case carried a 210-kb deletion at 1q21, including only one coding gene, LPPR4, which may be a candidate gene for the ID phenotype. Conclusions: Use of the genome-wide array screening method can improve the detection rate of CNVs, reveal chromosomal abnormalities that have not been well characterized by cytology, and provide a new way to locate genes for patients with the ID phenotype. However, interpretation of CNVs remains a major challenge, which is why we believe that publicly shared data on CNVs and phenotypes can create a rich database of information.

Project description:With the inexorable rise of global temperature, heat stress deserves more and more attention in livestock agriculture. Previous studies have shown that the mechanistic target of rapamycin (MTOR) (NC_037343.1:c.2062G>C) gene contributes to the repair of DNA damage repair and is associated with the adaptation of camels in dry and hot environments. However, it is unknown whether this mutation is related to the heat tolerance of Chinese cattle. In this study, PCR and sequencing were used to type the mutation locus in 1030 individuals of 37 cattle breeds. The analysis results showed that the frequency of G allele of the locus gradually diminished from the northern group to the southern group of native Chinese cattle, whereas the frequency of the C allele showed an opposite pattern, displaying a significant geographical difference across native Chinese cattle breeds. Additionally, an analysis of the locus in Chinese indigenous cattle revealed that this SNP was significantly associated with mean annual temperature (T), relative humidity (RH) and temperature humidity index (THI) (p < 0.01), suggesting that cattle with C allele was distributed in regions with higher T, RH and THI. In conclusion, this study proved that the mutation of MTOR gene in Chinese cattle could be associated with the heat tolerance.

Project description:Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) describes a group of neurodevelopmental disorders with high heritability, although the underlying genetic determinants of ASDs remain largely unknown. Large-scale whole-genome studies of copy number variation in Han Chinese samples are still lacking. We performed a genome-wide copy number variation analysis of 343 ASD trios, 203 patients with sporadic cases and 988 controls in a Chinese population using Illumina genotyping platforms to identify CNVs and related genes that may contribute to ASD risk. We identified 32 rare CNVs larger than 1?Mb in 31 patients. ASD patients were found to carry a higher global burden of rare, large CNVs than controls. Recurrent de novo or case-private CNVs were found at 15q11-13, Xp22.3, 15q13.1-13.2, 3p26.3 and 2p12. The de novo 15q11-13 duplication was more prevalent in this Chinese population than in those with European ancestry. Several genes, including GRAMD2 and STAM, were implicated as novel ASD risk genes when integrating whole-genome CNVs and whole-exome sequencing data. We also identified several CNVs that include known ASD genes (SHANK3, CDH10, CSMD1) or genes involved in nervous system development (NYAP2, ST6GAL2, GRM6). Besides, our study also implicated Contactins-NYAPs-WAVE1 pathway in ASD pathogenesis. Our findings identify ASD-related CNVs in a Chinese population and implicate novel ASD risk genes and related pathway for further study.

Project description:We investigated the effect of variants in the first three genes in the insulin signaling pathway and genes identified from genome wide association studies (GWAS) of T2D quantitative traits with IR (fasting insulin and the homeostasis model assessment of IR, HOMA-IR) and evaluated gene-environment interactions with IR traits among 1879 nondiabetic middle-aged men from a population-based study conducted in Shanghai, China. One candidate gene, IGF1, was associated with fasting insulin and HOMA-IR. We observed four BMI-gene interactions (P < 0.05) with HOMA-IR (INRS rs7254060, INRS rs7254358, GLU4 rs2113050, and GLU4 rs7713127) and seven BMI-gene interactions with fasting insulin (INRS rs7254060, INRS rs7254358, INRS rs10417205, INRS rs1799817, GLU4 rs12054720 GLU4 rs2113050, and GLU4 rs7713127). There were four WHR-gene interactions with HOMA-IR (INRS rs10417205, INRS rs12971499, INRS rs7254060, and INRS rs7254358), five WHR-gene interactions with fasting insulin (INRS rs10417205, INRS rs7254060, INRS rs7254358, GLU4 rs2113050, and GLU4 rs7713127), eight physical activity-gene interactions with HOMA-IR (INRS rs10411676, INRS rs11671297, INRS rs2229431, INRS rs12461909, INRS rs6510950, INRS rs10420382, IRS2 rs913949, and IRS2 rs2241745) and five physical activity-gene interactions with fasting insulin (INRS rs2229431, INRS rs12461909, INRS rs10420382, IRS2 rs913949, and IRS2 rs2241745). Our results suggest that BMI, WHR and physical activity may modify IR-associated variants.
