Phenome-wide association studies between SERINC2 and neuropsychiatric disorders by Ping Liu, Xinqun Luo, Liping Cao, Yong Zhang, Jiawu Ji, Xiaoping Wang, Kesheng Wang, Xinghua Pan, Ruilan Yang, Zewen Tan, Yunlong Tan, Chiang-shan Li, Xiaoyun Guo, Zhiren Wang, Xingguang Luo, Xingguang Luo

“…SNP-disease associations were tested and then meta-analyzed, followed by FDR correction, to identify significant disease-risk SNPs. Finally, functional studies on the differential SERINC2 mRNA expression in brains and the potential regulatory effects of disease-risk alleles on SERINC2 mRNA expression, gray matter volumes (GMVs) of subcortical structures, cortical surface area (SA) and average thickness (TH) were conducted.ResultsIn European descent, alcoholism was most significantly associated with SERINC2 variants (245 SNPs with 5.5×10-8≤p ≤ 0.049 and 4.9×10-5≤q ≤ 0.034) that were largely shared across cocaine dependence, marijuana dependence, nicotine dependence, polysubstance dependence, schizophrenia, OCD, and autism (8.2×10-8≤p ≤ 0.050 and 1.9×10-5≤q ≤ 0.049); in Chinese population, bipolar disorder was also significantly associated with SERINC2 variants (10 SNPs: 1.3×10-4≤p ≤ 4.7×10-4 and 0.025≤q ≤ 0.031). …”

Integrin beta‐like 1 is regulated by DNA methylation and increased in heart failure patients by Lauren Kerrigan, Kevin Edgar, Adam Russell‐Hallinan, Oisin Cappa, Nadezhda Glezeva, Carlos Galan‐Arriola, Eduardo Oliver, Borja Ibanez, John Baugh, Patrick Collier, Mark Ledwidge, Ken McDonald, David Simpson, Sudipto Das, David J. Grieve, Chris J. Watson

“…Abstract Aims Dynamic alterations in cardiac DNA methylation have been implicated in the development of heart failure (HF) with evidence of ischaemic heart disease (IHD); however, there is limited research into cell specific, DNA methylation sensitive genes that are affected by dysregulated DNA methylation patterns. In this study, we aimed to identify DNA methylation sensitive genes in the ischaemic heart and elucidate their role in cardiac fibrosis. …”
