Background: Whole genome sequence (WGS) data in multi-ancestry samples supports discovery of low-frequency or population-specific genetic variants associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and lung function.

Results: We performed single variant, structural variant, and gene-based analysis of pulmonary function (FEV1, FVC and FEV1/FVC) and COPD case-control status in 44,287 multi-ancestry participants from the NHLBI Trans-Omics for Precision Medicine (TOPMed) Program. We validated findings using the UK Biobank and assessed implicated genes using lung single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) data sets. Applying a genome-wide significance threshold (P < 5 × 10-9), we replicated known loci and identified novel associations near LY86, MAGI1, GRK7, and LINC02668. Colocalization with gene expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) from the Lung Tissue Research Consortium highlighted known candidate genes including ADAM19, THSD4, C4B, and PSMA4, which were not identified through other eQTL sources. Multi-ancestry analysis improved fine-mapping resolution (e.g., HTR4 and RIN3). Gene-based analysis identified and replicated HMCN1. In human lung scRNA-seq data sets, lung epithelial cells and immune cell types showed enriched expression, while fibroblasts showed higher expression for HMCN1. CRISPR targeting HMCN1 in IMR90 demonstrated reduced expression of collagen genes.

Conclusions: Large-scale multi-ancestry WGS analysis improves variant discovery and fine-mapping resolution for lung function and …

Background: Abnormal levels of VWF (von Willebrand Factor) are a risk factor for venous thromboembolism (VTE) and bleeding. Genome-wide association studies for VWF have identified novel candidate genes that may regulate VWF levels in humans, including RAB5C (RAS-associated protein RAB5C). We hypothesized that RAB5C regulates VWF release from endothelial cells.

Methods: We studied the effect of RAB5C on vesicle trafficking in human endothelial cells. We performed CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) interference targeting 2 genetic variants linked to altered VWF levels and evaluated RAB5C expression by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. We silenced RAB5C or overexpressed RAB5C wild-type, …

Assessing Carbon Stability In Mangroves Soil By Comparing Two Fractionation Methods, A. Vázquez Marrero, B. A. Aguilar Enriquez, B. E. Rosenheim

Making Waves REU

• Mangroves are vital ecosystems that help shield coastlines, provide habitat for diverse species, and act as significant carbon sinks.
• To protect and sustain their carbon storage capacity, exploring soil carbon stabilization processes are crucial.
• Soil Organic Matter (SOM) consists of Particulate Organic Matter (POM) and Mineral- Associated Organic Matter (MAOM).
• MAOM is considered one of the most stable and protected forms of carbon storage in soil, but it is difficult to quantify.

Improving Stem Assessments: Strategies For Increasing The Accessibility And Adoption Of Two-Stage Exams, Kristina Callaghan

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

Over three decades of research have shown that students taught using active learning strategies achieve better learning outcomes compared to those taught using traditional methods. Two-stage exams, which pair a traditional exam with a group component, are an increasingly popular method for incorporating active learning within the assessment component of a course. Previous studies have shown this assessment strategy provides a variety of benefits for students, including increased engagement and collaboration, immediate feedback, and potentially increased content retention. However, the unique circumstances of each instructor can pose a non-trivial barrier to the implementation of two-stage exams. In this thesis, we …

Prevalence Of Hepatitis B Associated Chronic Nephropathy In Baghdad, Iraq For The Year 2023, Ali Abduljabbar Razooqi, Adam Dawoud Salem, Bakri Yousif Nour

Iraqi National Journal of Medicine

Background: The correlation between hepatitis B virus (HBV) and nephropathy presents a significant public health issue in Iraq. Aim: This study systematically investigates the association between hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) serology and chronic kidney disease among residents of Baghdad, Iraq. Methods: We evaluated the clinical characteristics and serologic profiles of 609 patients with adult-onset HBV-related membranous nephropathy. Results: Individuals who are HBsAg (+) have a slightly increased risk of developing eGFR < 60 ml/min/1.73m2 or proteinuria compared to HBsAg (-) individuals. Conclusion: The study emphasizes the substantial impact of HBV on chronic kidney disease, independent of viral replication or inflammation. The findings underscore the importance of understanding the epidemiology and clinical implications of HBV infection in the context of renal complications, revealing potential immunological and pathological mechanisms. Further studies are recommended to elucidate the complex relationship between HBV infection and kidney impairment.
