Genome-scale methods have identified subchromosomal structures so-called topologically associated domains (TADs) that subdivide the genome into discrete regulatory units, establish with their target genes. By re-engineering human duplications at the SOX9 locus in mice combined with 4C-seq and Capture Hi-C experiments, we show that genomic duplications can result in the formation of novel chromatin domains (neo-TADs) and that this process determines their molecular pathology. Overall design: RNA-seq of embryonic limb buds for WT and mutant animals carrying structural variations at the Sox9/Kcnj locus.
Formation of new chromatin domains determines pathogenicity of genomic duplications.

View SamplesWe describe here a male infant with a 100 kb de novo Xq28 deletion encompassing parts of the TMEM187 and MECP2 protein-coding genes and the IRAK1 protein-coding gene, as well as the MIR3202-1, MIR3202-2, and MIR718 RNA-coding genes. We analyzed the impact of human IRAK-1 deficiency on a genome-wide gene expression in human fibroblasts in response to TLR2/6, TLR4 agonists as well as to IL-1 and TNF-, using primary fibroblasts from healthy controls and IRAK-4-, MyD88- and MECP2-deficient patients for comparison.
Inherited human IRAK-1 deficiency selectively impairs TLR signaling in fibroblasts.

New molecular insights into modulation of platelet reactivity in aspirin-treated patients using a network-based approach.

View SamplesPlatelet reactivity (PR) in cardiovascular (CV) patients is variable between individuals and modulates clinical outcome. However, the determinants of platelet reactivity are largely unknown. Integration of data derived from high-throughput omics technologies may yield novel insights into the molecular mechanisms that govern platelet reactivity. The aim of this study was to identify candidate genes modulating platelet reactivity in aspirin-treated cardiovascular patients PR was assessed in 110 CV patients treated with aspirin 100mg/d by aggregometry using several agonists. 12 CV patients with extreme high or low PR were selected for transcriptomics, proteomics and miRNA analysis.
