Genome-wide haplotype analysis of cis expression quantitative trait loci in monocytes. by Sophie Garnier, Vinh Truong, Jessy Brocheton, Tanja Zeller, Maxime Rovital, Philipp S Wild, Andreas Ziegler, Cardiogenics Consortium, Thomas Munzel, Laurence Tiret, Stefan Blankenberg, Panos Deloukas, Jeannette Erdmann, Christian Hengstenberg, Nilesh J Samani, Heribert Schunkert, Willem H Ouwehand, Alison H Goodall, François Cambien, David-Alexandre Trégouët

“…In-depth analysis of these 105 cis eQTL revealed that at 76 loci genetic associations were compatible with additive effects of several SNPs, while for the 29 remaining regions data could be compatible with a more complex haplotypic pattern. As 24 of the 105 cis eQTL have previously been reported to be disease-associated loci, this work highlights the need for conducting haplotype-based and 1000 G imputed cis eQTL analysis before commencing functional studies at disease-associated loci.…”

Exploratory GABAa-informed control network modulates hyperarousal brain dynamics in chronic insomnia by Liyong Yu, Liang Gong, Xiaoqin Chen, Yuqi He, Rong Li, Xiaojuan Hong, Qi Zhang, Siyi Yu

“…This study demonstrates that hyperarousal in chronic insomnia is characterized by more frequent and unpredictable transitions between brain states compared to healthy controls, as revealed by hidden Markov modeling of resting-state functional MRI data. By conducting an exploratory integration of DTI-based structural connectivity and regional GABAa receptor distribution within a network control theory framework, we find that chronic insomnia is associated with a flattened energy landscape reflecting hyperarousal, indicating that less energy is required for the brain to transition between states. …”
