We have quantified the variance in liability to disease explained by all SNPs for two phenotypically-related neurobehavioral disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and Tourette Syndrome (TS), using GCTA. Our analysis yielded a heritability point estimate of 0.58 (se = 0.09, p = 5.64e-12) for TS, and 0.37 (se = 0.07, p = 1.5e-07) for OCD. In addition, we conducted multiple genomic partitioning analyses to identify genomic elements that concentrate this heritability. We examined genomic architectures of TS and OCD by chromosome, MAF bin, and functional annotations. In addition, we assessed heritability for early onset and adult onset OCD. Among other notable results, we found that SNPs with a minor allele frequency of less than 5\% accounted for 21\% of the TS heritability and 0\% of the OCD heritability. Additionally, we identified a significant contribution to TS and OCD heritability by variants significantly associated with gene expression in two regions of the brain (parietal cortex and cerebellum) for which we had available expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs). Finally we analyzed the genetic correlation between TS and OCD, revealing a genetic correlation of 0.41 (se = 0.15, p = 0.002). These results are very close to previous heritability estimates for TS and OCD based on twin and family studies, suggesting that very little, if any, heritability is truly missing (i.e., unassayed) from TS and OCD GWAS studies of common variation. The results also indicate that there is some genetic overlap between these two phenotypically-related neuropsychiatric disorders, but suggest that the two disorders have distinct genetic architectures.}, language = {en} } @article{BousquetAntoBachertetal.2021, author = {Bousquet, Jean and Anto, Josep M. and Bachert, Claus and Haahtela, Tari and Zuberbier, Torsten and Czarlewski, Wienczyslawa and Bedbrook, Anna and Bosnic-Anticevich, Sinthia and Walter Canonica, G. and Cardona, Victoria and Costa, Elisio and Cruz, Alvaro A. and Erhola, Marina and Fokkens, Wytske J. and Fonseca, Joao A. and Illario, Maddalena and Ivancevich, Juan-Carlos and Jutel, Marek and Klimek, Ludger and Kuna, Piotr and Kvedariene, Violeta and Le, LTT and Larenas-Linnemann, D{\´e}sir{\´e}e E. and Laune, Daniel and Louren{\c{c}}o, Olga M. and Mel{\´e}n, Erik and Mullol, Joaquim and Niedoszytko, Marek and Odemyr, Mika{\"e}la and Okamoto, Yoshitaka and Papadopoulos, Nikos G. and Patella, Vincenzo and Pfaar, Oliver and Pham-Thi, Nh{\^a}n and Rolland, Christine and Samolinski, Boleslaw and Sheikh, Aziz and Sofiev, Mikhail and Suppli Ulrik, Charlotte and Todo-Bom, Ana and Tomazic, Peter-Valentin and Toppila-Salmi, Sanna and Tsiligianni, Ioanna and Valiulis, Arunas and Valovirta, Erkka and Ventura, Maria-Teresa and Walker, Samantha and Williams, Sian and Yorgancioglu, Arzu and Agache, Ioana and Akdis, Cezmi A. and Almeida, Rute and Ansotegui, Ignacio J. and Annesi-Maesano, Isabella and Arnavielhe, Sylvie and Basaga{\~n}a, Xavier and D.

While molecular experiments provide the most reliable annotation of proteins, their relatively low throughput and restricted purview have led to an increasing role for computational function prediction. However, assessing methods for protein function prediction and tracking progress in the field remain challenging. Results We conducted the second critical assessment of functional annotation (CAFA), a timed challenge to assess computational methods that automatically assign protein function. We evaluated 126 methods from 56 research groups for their ability to predict biological functions using Gene Ontology and gene-disease associations using Human Phenotype Ontology on a set of 3681 proteins from 18 species. CAFA2 featured expanded analysis compared with CAFA1, with regards to data set size, variety, and assessment metrics. To review progress in the field, the analysis compared the best methods from CAFA1 to those of CAFA2. Conclusions The top-performing methods in CAFA2 outperformed those from CAFA1. This increased accuracy can be attributed to a combination of the growing number of experimental annotations and improved methods for function prediction. The assessment also revealed that the definition of top-performing algorithms is ontology specific, that different performance metrics can be used to probe the nature of accurate predictions, and the relative diversity of predictions in the biological process and human phenotype ontologies. While there was methodological improvement between CAFA1 and CAFA2, the interpretation of results and usefulness of individual methods remain context-dependent.}, language = {en} } @article{HofmannBoettgerRangeetal.2017, author = {Hofmann, Sigrun Ruth and B{\"o}ttger, Fanny and Range, Ursula and L{\"u}ck, Christian and Morbach, Henner and Girschick, Hermann Joseph and Suttorp, Meinolf and Hedrich, Christian Michael}, title = {Serum interleukin-6 and CCL11/eotaxin may be suitable biomarkers for the diagnosis of chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis}, series = {Frontiers in Pediatrics}, volume = {5}, journal = {Frontiers in Pediatrics}, doi = {10.3389/fped.2017.00256}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-172744}, year = {2017}, abstract = {Objectives: Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO), the most severe form of chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis (CNO), is an autoinflammatory bone disorder. In the absence of diagnostic criteria or biomarkers, CNO/CRMO remains a diagnosis of exclusion. The aim of this study was to identify biomarkers for diagnosing multifocal disease (CRMO). Study design: Sera from 71 pediatric CRMO patients, 11 patients with osteoarticular infections, 62 patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), 7 patients with para-infectious or reactive arthritis, and 43 patients with acute leukemia or lymphoma, as well as 59 healthy individuals were collected. Multiplex analysis of 18 inflammation- and/or bone remodeling-associated serum proteins was performed. Statistical analysis included univariate ANOVA, discriminant analysis, univariate receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, and logistic regression analyses. Results: For 14 of 18 blood serum proteins, significant differences were determined between CRMO patients, at least one alternative diagnosis, or healthy controls. Multi-component discriminant analysis delivered five biomarkers (IL-6, CCL11/eotaxin, CCL5/RANTES, collagen Iα, sIL-2R) for the diagnosis of CRMO. ROC analysis allowed further reduction to a core set of 2 biomarkers (CCL11/eotaxin, IL-6) that are sufficient to discern between CRMO, healthy controls, and alternative diagnoses. Conclusion: Serum biomarkers CCL11/eotaxin and IL-6 differentiate between patients with CRMO, healthy controls, and alternative diagnoses (leukemia and lymphoma, osteoarticular infections, para-infectious arthritis, and JIA). Easily accessible biomarkers may aid in diagnosing CRMO.

Here, we performed the largest ever analysis of brain left-right asymmetry in ADHD, using 39 datasets of the ENIGMA consortium. Methods We analyzed asymmetry of subcortical and cerebral cortical structures in up to 1,933 people with ADHD and 1,829 unaffected controls. Asymmetry Indexes (AIs) were calculated per participant for each bilaterally paired measure, and linear mixed effects modeling was applied separately in children, adolescents, adults, and the total sample, to test exhaustively for potential associations of ADHD with structural brain asymmetries. Results There was no evidence for altered caudate nucleus asymmetry in ADHD, in contrast to prior literature. In children, there was less rightward asymmetry of the total hemispheric surface area compared to controls (t = 2.1, p = .04). Lower rightward asymmetry of medial orbitofrontal cortex surface area in ADHD (t = 2.7, p = .01) was similar to a recent finding for autism spectrum disorder. There were also some differences in cortical thickness asymmetry across age groups. In adults with ADHD, globus pallidus asymmetry was altered compared to those without ADHD. However, all effects were small (Cohen's d from -0.18 to 0.18) and would not survive study-wide correction for multiple testing. Conclusion Prior studies of altered structural brain asymmetry in ADHD were likely underpowered to detect the small effects reported here. Altered structural asymmetry is unlikely to provide a useful biomarker for ADHD, but may provide neurobiological insights into the trait.}, language = {en} } @article{KistThomaschewskiKecketal.2022, author = {Kist, Markus and Thomaschewski, Michael and Keck, Yannick and Abdalla, Thaer S.

The aim of the present work was to use clinical registry data to classify and characterize the young cohort of patients with gastric cancer more precisely. Methods: German Cancer Registry Group of the Society of German Tumor Centers—Network for Care, Quality and Research in Oncology (ADT)was queried for patients with gastric cancer from 2000-2016. An approach that stratified relative distributions of histological subtypes of gastric adenocarcinoma according to age percentiles was used to define and characterize EOGC. Demographics, tumor characteristics, treatment and survival were analyzed. Results: A total of 46,110 patients were included. Comparison of different groups of age with incidences of histological subtypes showed that incidence of signet ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) increased with decreasing age and exceeded pooled incidences of diffuse and intestinal type tumors in the youngest 20\% of patients. We selected this group with median age of 53 as EOGC. The proportion of female patients was lower in EOGC than that of elderly patients (43\% versus 45\%; p < 0.001). EOGC presented more advanced and undifferentiated tumors with G3/4 stages in 77\% versus 62\%, T3/4 stages in 51\% versus 48\%, nodal positive tumors in 57\% versus 53\% and metastasis in 35\% versus 30\% (p < 0.001) and received less curative treatment (42\% versus 52\%; p < 0.001). Survival of EOGC was significantly better (five-years survival: 44\% versus 31\% (p < 0.0001), with age as independent predictor of better survival (HR 0.61; p < 0.0001). Conclusion: With this population-based registry study we were able to objectively define a cohort of patients referred to as EOGC. Despite more aggressive/advanced tumors and less curative treatment, survival was significantly better compared to elderly patients, and age was identified as an independent predictor for better survival.}, language = {en} }
