Background: Inference of genetic ancestry is of great interest in many fields and one of the markers in these analyses is ancestry informative marker single nucleotide polymorphisms (AIMSNPs). The Malay population is an ethnic group located mainly in South East Asia and comprises the largest ethnicity in Malaysia. Objectives: To determine Malay ancestry, Yahya et al, 2017 selected 37,487 SNPs from the genotyping data collected by the Malaysian Node of the Human Variome Project and Singapore Genome Variation Project and referenced them against the data from the International HapMap Project Phase 3. The SNPs determined to be informative for ancestry were compiled into AIM-SNP panels, and from these a few SNPs were selected for optimization in preparation for single base extension reaction multiplexing. Methodology: The chosen AIMSNPs were optimized and validated on Malay and non-Malay populations. Genotyping was carried out on participants of self-reported Malay and non-Malay ancestry respectively and the data were compared for Malay and non-Malay population to investigate for significant differences in the genotype between Malay and non-Malay participants. Findings: The results showed great similarities between the Malay and non-Malay population, which may arise from many factors, and further optimization of more SNPs and genotyping is required to definitively conclude the validity of the AIM-SNP panels for Malay population Conclusion: Knowledge of ancestry is important to minimise spurious association. This pilot study gives a brief account of the optimization process and offers an insight into how this may be done in South East Asian populations.

Abstract Primary aldosteronism (PA), also known as Conn’s syndrome, is a common curable cause of hypertension. Family studies of essential hypertensive patients suggest that heritable genetic factors play a role in blood pressure regulation1. Interestingly, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in genes encoding enzymes involved with adrenal steroidogenesis, CYP11B2, CYP11B1 and CYP17A1, associate with increased risk of hypertension2. Therefore, we analysed whether selected SNPs in these genes are associated with PA. We performed an association study using genotype imputation for selected SNPs of the steroidogenic enzyme genes CYP11B2 (rs4546, rs1799998, rs13268025), CYP11B1 (rs6410, rs149845727), and CYP17A1 (rs1004467, rs138009835, rs2150927) from a pilot genome wide association study of Malaysian PA patients and healthy controls which was merged with the Singapore Genome Variation Project (SGVP) population dataset3. Genotype imputation for minor and major alleles was validated using PCR sequencing (n>10 for each genotype). Further, one SNP from each steroidogenic enzyme (CYP11B2:rs1799998, CYP11B1:rs6410 and CYP17A1:rs1004467) was validated using commercial TaqMan genotyping assays on the ABI 7000 Sequence Detection System which was performed on 149 PA patients and 78 non-hypertensive healthy individuals. Case-control genetic association analysis was performed at http://www.oege.org/software/orcalc.html and the association between genotypes and phenotypes was done using the independent-samples Kruskal-Wallis test on SPSS (version 25). The Minor Allele Frequencies (MAFs) for rs1004467, rs6410 and rs1799998 were similar to East Asian populations but differed significantly different from European, African, American and South Asian populations (rs1004467 MAF: C=0.258/298, rs6410 MAF: A=0.265/298, rs1799998 MAF: C=0.225/298). In Chinese patients matched by gender, heterozygotes for rs6410 had significantly increased risk of PA compared to common homozygotes (OR: 3.15, 95% CI: 1.01–9.8, p=0.04). Across patients of different ethnicity, the distribution of aldosterone levels was significantly different (p=0.039). In summary, only SNP rs6410 in Chinese patients matched by gender showed association with PA in our South East Asian cohort. More functional experiments need to be done to find out whether this is causal for PA or whether the SNP is in linkage disequilibrium with the actual functional causative SNPs. Once the functional SNP is known, identification of these germline variants in asymptomatic family members would allow early screening of PA to be offered and potentially provide novel drug targets to treat the disease.

<p>Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) abundant in bovine genome influence genetic variation in biological mechanism. The study aimed to identify SNPs on Indonesian cattle breeds and analyze their genetic diversity using Bovine 50K SNP chip. Twenty eight "Ongole Grade" (OG) beef cattle and 20 "Holstein Friesian" (HF) dairy cattle were used for the Infinium II assay test. This assay included amplification of genomic DNA, fragmenta-tion, precipitation, resuspension, hybridization, processing bead chip for single-base extension, and imaging at iScan. Data and clusters were analyzed using GenomeStudio software. The Bovine 50K SNP chip containing 54,609 SNPs was observed spanning all chromosomes of bovine genome. Genotyping for the total SNPs was successfull based on Call Rate, GeneCall and GeneTrain scores. Most SNP markers had alleles that shared among the individuals or breeds, or had specific alleles at distinctive frequencies. Minor allele frequency (MAF) spreads equally with intervals of 0-0.5. The breeds of OG and HF tended to be separated in different clusters without considering their genetic history and twin or normal. This result suggests that most individuals are closely related to one another, regardless of the same breed. Some genes identified on chromosomes 3, 4, 5, 7, 13, 17 and 18 were located in the loci/regions that contained SNPs with specific alleles of either HF or OG breed. These SNPs were more powerful for differentiation of beef cattle and dairy cattle than among individuals in the same breed. These SNP variations and genetic relatedness among individuals and breeds serve basic information for cattle breeding in Indonesia.</p>

In this search, a new pyrophosphate technique was proved. The technique was employed to single- nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), which diagnosis using a one-base extension reaction. Three Mycobacterium tuberculosis genes were chosen (Rpob, InhA, KatG) genes. Fifty-four specimens were used in this study fifty-three proved as drug-resistant specimens by The Iraqi Institute of Chest and Respiratory Diseases in Baghdad.; also one specimen was used as a negative control. The steps of this technique were by used a specific primer within each aliquot that has a short 3-OH end of the base of the target gene that was hybridized to the single-stranded DNA template. Then, the Taq polymerase enzyme and one of either α-thio-dATP, dTTP, dGTP, or dCTP were supplemented and incubated for 1 min. ATP is synthesis by convert Pyrophosphate freed by DNA polymerase using pyruvate phosphate dikinase (PPDK), and the amount of ATP estimates by the firefly luciferase reaction. This technique, which does not demand expensive equipment, can be applied to rapidly monitor a one-point mutation in the gene that causes drug-resistant in mycobacterium tuberculosis. The results showed a high variation in values of ATP formation through matching and mismatch bases added. So, this assay (which required only five minutes), enable to find the gene SNP causes resistant for the specific drug.

Abstract INTRODUCTION Genome-wide association studies have revealed an association between SRY (Sex Determining Region Y)-box 17 (SOX17) gene and intracranial aneurysm (IA) formation. However, results were mainly derived from European and Japanese populations. We investigated the association between SOX17 gene polymorphisms and IA in a homogeneous Korean population. We performed a meta-analysis to assess these results in East-Asian populations. METHODS This cross-sectional study included 187 age- and sex-matched patients with IA and 372 control subjects. Genetic association analysis was performed in the generalized linear model to identify associations between 4 single nucleotide polymorphisms and IA, including 95 patients with ruptured aneurysms and 92 with unruptured aneurysms. The East-Asian meta-analysis of 5100 IA cases and 7930 control cases was conducted under an inverse variance model. RESULTS Among 4 single nucleotide polymorphisms that passed quality control tests, the minor C allele of rs1072737 was significantly associated with IA (odds ratio 0.69, 95% confidence interval 0.49-0.96, P = .03). None of the 4 single nucleotide polymorphisms showed a significant association between patients with ruptured and unruptured aneurysms. Meta-analysis revealed that G alleles of rs10958409 and rs9298506 were significantly associated with IA in the East-Asian population after removing study heterogeneity (odds ratio 1.11, 95% confidence interval 1.04-1.19, P = .0023 and odds ratio 1.19, 95% confidence interval 1.07-1.32, P = .0016). CONCLUSION Identification of genetic variants located near SOX17 is likely to be clinically significant for IA formation. rs10958409 and rs9298506 may increase risk of IA in East-Asian populations. Our findings may help in the identification of IA pathogenesis.

AbstractFinding effective predictors of traits related to boar fertility is essential for increasing the efficiency of artificial insemination systems in pig breeding. The objective of this study was to find associations between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within candidate genes and fertility in the breeds Landrace and Duroc. Animals with breeding values for total number of piglets born, were re-sequenced for exonic regions of 14 candidate genes related to male and female fertility using samples from 16 Landrace boars and 16 Duroc boars (four with high and four with low breeding value of total number of piglets born for each breed for male fertility, and the same for female fertility) to detect genetic variants. Genotyping for the detected SNPs was done in 619 Landrace boars and 513 Duroc boars. Two SNPs in BMPR1 and one SNP in COX-2 were found significantly associated with the total number of piglets born in Landrace. In Duroc, two SNPs in PLCz, one SNP in VWF and one SNP in ZP3 were found significantly associated with total number of piglets born. These SNPs explained between 0.27% and 1.18% of the genetic variance. These effects are too low for being used directly for selection purposes but can be of interest in SNP-panels used for genomic selection.
