Meta-Analysis of Common and Rare Variants.
Abstract Meta-analysis is a statistical technique that is widely used for improving the power to detect associations, by synthesizing data from independent studies, and is extensively used in the genomic…

Abstract Biallelic mutations in gene, a caretaker of the genome, cause Rothmund-Thomson type-II syndrome (RTS-II) and confer increased cancer risk if they damage the helicase domain. We describe five families…
Abstract The overexpression of Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) is directly related to the development of several autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn's disease, refractory…
Abstract The recent invasion of the lionfish Pterois miles to the Mediterranean draws major concerns to the fate of the indigenous ecosystem, based on previous knowledge of the species' detrimental…
Abstract To develop a sensitive, specific, simple, cost-effective and reproducible platform for the non-invasive prenatal detection of paternally inherited alleles for β-thalassaemia. The development of such an assay is of…
Abstract Gene delivery to the peripheral nervous system for therapeutic applications remains technically challenging but could eventually have a significant impact on the development of innovative treatments not only for…
Abstract In the healthcare sector, phytocompounds are known to be beneficial by contributing or alleviating a variety of diseases. Studies have demonstrated the progressive effects of phytocompounds on immune-related diseases…
Abstract Recent expert guidelines recommend genetic testing for the diagnosis of Alport syndrome. Here, we describe current best practice and likely future developments. In individuals with suspected Alport syndrome, all…
Abstract The koala, the only extant species of the marsupial family Phascolarctidae, is classified as 'vulnerable' due to habitat loss and widespread disease. We sequenced the koala genome, producing a…
Abstract Autosomal dominant tubulointerstitial kidney disease caused by mucin-1 gene () mutations (ADTKD-) is characterized by progressive kidney failure. Genetic evaluation for ADTKD- specifically tests for a cytosine duplication that…
