Project description:RATIONALE: The use of intrauterine levonorgestrel may prevent atypical endometrial hyperplasia and endometrial cancer in women with hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer or Lynch syndrome. It is not yet known whether intrauterine levonorgestrel and observation are more effective than observation alone in preventing atypical endometrial hyperplasia and endometrial cancer in women with hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer or Lynch syndrome.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying intrauterine levonorgestrel and observation to see how well they work compared with observation alone in preventing atypical endometrial hyperplasia and endometrial cancer in women with hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer or Lynch syndrome.

Project description:The contraceptive effectiveness of intrauterine devices has been attributed in part to effects of a foreign body reaction on the endometrium. We performed this study to identify compare the effects on the endometrial transcriptome of intrauterine devices and combined oral contraceptives, to better understand their mechanisms of action. We collected endometrial and cervical biopsies from women using the levonorgestrel-intrauterine device, copper intrauterine device or levonorgestrel-containing combined oral contraceptives, and from women not using contraceptives (control group). Transcriptional profiling was performed with Affymetrix arrays, Principal Component Analysis and the bioconductor package limma. Pathway analysis was performed using EnrichR and Reactome 2016. In endometrial samples from copper intrauterine device users (n=13), there were no genes with statistically significant differential expression compared to controls (n=11), whereas in levonorgestrel-intrauterine device users (n=11), 2509 genes were significantly dysregulated and mapped onto several immune and inflammatory pathways. In combined oral contraceptive users (n=12), 133 genes were significantly dysregulated and mapped predominantly onto pathways involving regulation of metal ions. Both levonorgestrel-intrauterine device and combined oral contraceptive use were associated with significant downregulation of members of the metallothionein gene family. In cervical samples, none of the groups showed statistically significant differential gene expression compared to controls. In conclusion, hormonal and copper intrauterine devices differ significantly in their effects on the endometrial transcriptome, with endometrium from copper intrauterine device users being indistinguishable from luteal phase endometrium. These results suggest that the contraceptive mechanisms of intrauterine devices are unlikely to rely on a common pathway involving a foreign body reaction in the endometrium.

Project description:Some evidence suggests that contraceptive use may influence the female genital tract (FGT) mucosal environment. However, comparative analysis of the effects of the most commonly used hormonal and non-hormonal contraceptives on the FGT host gene expression profile have not been evaluated in detail in a randomized clinical trial setting. Among 188 women enrolled in the Evidence for Contraceptive Options and HIV Outcomes (ECHO) trial (Clinicaltrials.gov ID NCT02550067) between December 2015 and September 2017, we evaluated the effect of three contraceptive methods, injectable intramuscular depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA-IM), levonorgestrel (LNG) implant, and a non-hormonal T-380 copper intrauterine contraceptive device (Cu-IUD), on the endocervical host transcriptome at baseline and after one month of randomized contraceptive use, using RNA-Seq transcriptomic analysis.

Project description:<p>We investigated the cumulative contribution of rare, exonic genetic variants on the concentration of 1,487 metabolites and 53,714 metabolite ratios in urine by performing gene-based tests based on 226,233 variants from up to 4,864 participants of the German Chronic Kidney Disease (GCKD) study. There were 128 significant associations (53 metabolite-gene and 75 metabolite ratio-gene pairs) involving 30 unique genes, 16 of which are known to underlie recessively inherited inborn errors of metabolism (IEMs). Across the 30 genes, 47% of individuals carried at least one rare missense, stop or splice variant. The 30 genes were strongly enriched for shared high expression in liver and kidney (OR=65, p-FDR=3e-7), with hepatocytes and proximal tubule cells as driving cell types. Use of whole-exome sequencing data in the UK Biobank allowed for linking genes to diseases that could plausibly be explained by the identified metabolites. In silico constraint-based modeling of knockouts of the implicated genes in a virtual whole-body, organ-resolved metabolic human correctly predicted the observed direction of metabolite changes in urine and blood, highlighting the potential of linking population genetics to modeling to validate associations and to predict metabolic consequences of yet unknown IEMs. Our study extends the map of genes influencing urine metabolite concentrations, reveals metabolic processes and connected health outcomes, and implicates novel candidate variants and genes for IEMs.</p><p><br></p><p>Further links;</p><p><a href='https://www.gckd.org/' rel='noopener noreferrer' target='_blank'>German Chronic Kidney Disease (GCKD)</a></p>

Project description:Background: Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) is characterized by arrested T lymphocyte production and B lymphocyte dysfunction, resulting in life-threatening infections. Early diagnosis of SCID through population-based newborn screening (NBS) optimizes clinical management and outcomes, and also permits identification of previously unknown factors essential for human lymphocyte development. Methods: SCID was detected, prior to onset of infections, by NBS of T cell receptor excision circles, a biomarker for thymic output. Upon confirmation, the affected baby was treated by allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). The genetic cause was sought by exome sequencing of the patient and parents, followed by functional analysis of a prioritized candidate gene using human hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) and zebrafish embryos. Results: An infant with leaky SCID, craniofacial and dermal abnormalities, and absent corpus callosum had his immune deficit fully corrected by HCT. Exome sequencing revealed a heterozygous, de novo, missense mutation pN441K in BCL11B. The mutant Bcl11b protein had dominant negative activity, abrogating the ability of wild type Bcl11b to bind DNA, arresting T cell lineage development and disrupting HSC migration, revealing a novel function of Bcl11b. The patientâs defects, recapitulated in Bcl11b-deficient zebrafish, were reversed by ectopic expression of intact, but not mutant, human BCL11B. Conclusions: Newborn screening facilitated treatment and identification of a novel etiology for human SCID. Coupling exome sequencing with candidate gene evaluation in human HSC and in zebrafish revealed that a constitutional BCL11B mutation causes human multisystem anomalies with SCID, while also revealing a novel, pre-thymic role for Bcl11b in hematopoietic progenitors. 3 samples were analyzed in duplicate, Sample 1 was human HSC transduced with GFP only lentivirus which served as controls, Sample 2 was human HSC transduced with lentivirus expressing FLAG-tagged WT BCL11B and GFP, Sample 3 was human HSC transduced with lentivirus expressing FLAG-tagged mutant BCL11B and GFP
