Abstract

The Wnt pathway has a bifunctional role in bone mass regulation, influencing osteoblasts and osteoclasts. The Wnt pathway genes are therefore candidate genes for susceptibility to osteoporosis. In our study, we focused on the effects of polymorphisms in selected Wnt pathway genes: low-density lipoprotein receptor-related proteins 5 and 6 (LRP5 and LRP6), Dickkopf1 (DKK1), sclerostin (SOST), and beta-catenin (CTNNB1). We genotyped 652 subjects for the following polymorphisms: A1330V in LRP5; I1062V in LRP6; E232K in DKK1; D32Y, G34V, and N287S in CTNNB1; and -1397_-1396insGGA in SOST. Bone mineral density (BMD) was also measured. The allele frequencies were as follows: for A1330V C:T = 87%:13%, for I1062V C:T = 20%:80%, and for -1397_-1396insGGA-:GGA = 64%:36%. The studied nucleotide changes in the DKK1 and CTNNB1 genes were shown not to be polymorphic. In a Slovenian population, no association was shown between lumbar spine and femoral neck BMD in A1330V (P = 0.151 and 0.243) and in I1062V (P = 0.209 and 0.405). We observed a difference between SOST genotypes, corresponding to an allele dose effect, which was borderline significant for lumbar spine and femoral neck BMD (P = 0.047 and 0.085); but this did not survive the adjustm...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
