Project description:Enteropathy associated T-cell lymphoma (EATL) is a rare non-Hodgkin lymphoma that may complicate celiac disease and typically occurs in patients with refractoriness to the gluten- free diet. The majority of these patients harbor intra-epithelial lymphocytes (IEL) with an aberrant phenotype in the small intestine which are thus considered as the ‘precursor’ lymphoma cells. We here report on a case of extra-intestinal EATL that originated from a clonal γδ-IEL population rather than from aberrant IEL. This EATL displayed a distinctive pattern of immunophenotypical, T-cell receptor immunogenetic, and chromosomal aberrancies defining this lymphoma as a novel variant of EATL.

Project description:Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a leading cause of infertility. About 5 million women in the US have PCOS, making it the most prevalent endocrine disorder among menstruating people. Despite that prevalence, the underlying causes remain unknown. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified non-coding genetic variation associated with PCOS risk and identifying the underlying molecular mechanisms is currently a major opportunity for improving diagnosis and treatment. We report the discovery of gene regulatory mechanisms that help explain genetic association with PCOS in the GATA4, FSHB and DENND1A loci. We based those findings using a combination of high throughput reporter assays, CRISPR-based epigenome editing, and genetic association analysis from PCOS case and control populations. In addition, we found that elevated endogenous DENND1A expression causes elevated testosterone levels, a hallmark PCOS phenotype. These results further highlight the potential for combining genetic variant analyses with experimental approaches to fine map genetic associations with disease risk.
