概括

遗传因素影响与年龄相关的黄斑变性 (AMD). 一种特定的AMD亚型,网状伪 (RPD),显示出与染色体10的强烈遗传联系,与一般的AMD风险位点不同.

科学领域:

眼科医生眼科眼科
遗传学是一个遗传学.
分子生物学分子生物学

背景情况:

与年龄相关的黄斑变性 (AMD) 是一种由遗传学影响的复杂视网膜疾病.
网状伪 (RPD) 是一种AMD亚型,与高视力损失风险相关.
之前的研究发现了1号 (CFH) 和10号 (ARMS2/HTRA1) 染色体上的主要AMD风险位.

研究的目的:

调查与年龄相关的黄斑变性 (AMD) 内的特定于网状伪的遗传关联.
为了确定RPD的新型遗传风险因素,一个高风险的AMD亚型.

主要方法:

全基因组关联研究 (GWAS) 将AMD+/RPD+病例与AMD+/RPD-病例和对照进行比较.
极端的RPD病例的全基因组测序 (WGS).
在视网膜组织中对长非编码RNA (lncRNA) 表达量的特征位点 (eQTL) 的分析.

主要成果:

在比较RPD+与RPD-病例时,染色体10 (ARMS2/HTRA1) 的AMD风险位与RPD显著相关,而染色体1位则没有.
一个长非编码RNA,HTRA1-AS1,在染色体10的风险区域,显示了强烈的eQTL信号在对光受体外段层.
全基因组测序显示,在极端的RPD病例中,染色体10风险基因型的丰富度增加.

结论:

遗传风险的RPD,一个AMD亚型,是专门与染色体10位点,独立于染色体1位点.
HTRA1-AS1是RPD病变发生的潜在关键遗传因素.
针对十号染色体的遗传因素可能为RPD和高级AMD提供新的治疗策略.

Non-LTR Retrotransposons

Non-LTR Retrotransposons

As the name suggests, non-LTR retrotransposons lack the long terminal repeats characteristic of the LTR retrotransposons. Additionally, both LTR and non-LTR retrotransposons use distinct mechanisms of mobilization. Non-LTR retrotransposons are further divided into two classes - Long interspersed nuclear elements (LINEs) and short interspersed nuclear elements (SINEs), both of which occur abundantly in most mammals, including humans. Some of the active non-LTR retrotransposons in humans are L1...

lncRNA - Long Non-coding RNAs

lncRNA - Long Non-coding RNAs

In humans, more than 80% of the genome gets transcribed. However, only around 2% of the genome codes for proteins. The remaining part produces non-coding RNAs which includes ribosomal RNAs, transfer RNAs, telomerase RNAs, and regulatory RNAs, among other types. A large number of regulatory non-coding RNAs have been classified into two groups depending upon their length – small non-coding RNAs, such as microRNA, which are less than 200 nucleotides in length, and long non-coding RNA...
