Genome-wide meta-analysis of quantitatively measured generalized anxiety symptoms in individuals of European ancestry Anxiety is heritable and exists on a continuum, with symptoms ranging from adaptive threat response to clinical disorder. Here we performed a genome-wide association...

Recently, patients with an interest in bioinformatics have shared their own analyses of genetic data relating to ME/CFS. Their findings have been met with interest on the forum, and I think they support the case that researchers outside of a formal project structure can contribute something...

https://metagraph.ethz.ch/ The Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zurich has published a genomic search engine, described by Nature as a google for genomic data: Although MetaGraph is tagged as ‘Google for DNA’, Chikhi likens the tool to a search engine for YouTube, because the tasks...

I’ve recently found the NHS Genomics Education programme website, which includes a lot of resources, but the Bitesize genomics videos such as ‘What is genomics?’ and ‘What is Bioinformatics?’ are good accessible introductions. https://www.genomicseducation.hee.nhs.uk/education/...

Groundbreaking project seeks to illuminate the complexities of Parkinson's (msn.com)

Now published, see post #9. Long read sequencing characterises a novel structural variant, revealing underactive AKR1C1 with overactive AKR1C2 as a possible cause of unexplained severe fatigue Abstract Background Causative genetic variants cannot yet be found for many disorders with a clear...

I felt like writing about this. In my opinion ME/CFS is probably a label for several different poorly understood illnesses that happen to share some characteristics and which do not yet have their own name. We might call them subtypes of ME/CFS. Then, in a ME/CFS cohort there is probably also a...

https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2035790 Abstract BACKGROUND The U.K. 100,000 Genomes Project is in the process of investigating the role of genome sequencing in patients with undiagnosed rare diseases after usual care and the alignment of this research with health care...

Abstract Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) results from disordered brain–gut interactions. Identifying susceptibility genes could highlight the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms. We designed a digestive health questionnaire for UK Biobank and combined identified cases with IBS with...

Full title: Fine mapping of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) in myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) suggests involvement of both HLA class I and class II loci Abstract The etiology of myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is unknown, but...

NIH: National Human Genome Research Institute: Researchers discover a new autoinflammatory disease called CRIA syndrome “It was as if lightning had struck three times in the same place,” said Kastner, who led the NHGRI team. “This discovery underscores the tremendous power of combining astute...

OMF: Stanford Genome Technology Center Applies to NIH https://www.omf.ngo/2019/06/24/sgtc-applies-to-nih/ The Stanford Genome Technology Center (SGTC), under the direction of Ronald W. Davis, PhD, has submitted several RO1 grant applications to NIH to continue and scale up several projects...

Wall Street Journal: The Unfulfilled Promise of DNA Testing The article weaves the story of a young sick girl thru it by discussing how genetic testing has resulted in her diagnosis changing over and over and over as the science changes constantly. And how this is happening to other patients...

Background Despite earlier doubts, a string of recent successes indicates that if sample sizes are large enough, it is possible—both in theory and in practice—to identify and replicate genetic associations with common complex diseases. But human genome epidemiology is expensive and, from a...
