Genome-Wide Association Studies At The Interface Of Alzheimer’S Disease And Epidemiologically Related Disorders, Christopher Ryan Simmons
Genome-Wide Association Studies At The Interface Of Alzheimer’S Disease And Epidemiologically Related Disorders, Christopher Ryan Simmons
University of Kentucky Doctoral Dissertations
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS)s provide an unbiased means of exploring the landscape of complex genetic disease. As such, these studies have identified genetic variants that are robustly associated with a multitude of conditions. I hypothesize that these genetic variants serve as excellent tools for evaluation of the genetic interface between epidemiologically related conditions. Herein, I test the association between SNPs associated with either (i) plasma lipids, (ii) rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or (iii) diabetes mellitus (DM) and late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (AD) to identify shared genetic variants. Regarding the most significantly AD-associated variants, I have also attempted to elucidate their molecular function. …
Post-Transcriptional Regulation Of Afp And Igm Genes, Lilia M. Turcios
Post-Transcriptional Regulation Of Afp And Igm Genes, Lilia M. Turcios
University of Kentucky Doctoral Dissertations
Gene expression can be regulated at multiple steps once transcription is initiated. I have studied two different gene models, the α-Fetoprotein (AFP) and the immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgM) genes, to better understand post-transcriptional gene regulation mechanisms. The AFP gene is highly expressed during fetal liver development and dramatically repressed after birth. There is a mouse strain-specific difference between adult levels of AFP, with BALB/cJ mice expressing 10 to 20-fold higher levels compared to other mouse strains. BALB/cJ mice express low levels of Zhx2 and thus incompletely repress AFP. Despite differences in steady state AFP mRNA levels in the adult liver …
