ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: There is a lack of studies providing comprehensive data on the prevalence of mineral and bone disorders (MBD) laboratory abnormalities after kidney transplantation in Russia. AIM: to obtain real-world data on the prevalence of the main mineral abnormalities among kidney transplant recipients and to revise their concomitant MBD therapy. METHOD: This cross-sectional study included 236 patients with successful kidney transplantation. Their serum intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), total calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels were measured. RESULTS: Only 6.2% of our cohort had all laboratory parameters within the target range, whereas persistent HPT along with hypercalcemia was noted in almost one third of the patients (31%). Normal iPTH levels were observed in 13% cases; 84% of the patients had hyperparathyroidism. The fraction of patients with target iPTH did not differ between the groups with normal and decreased estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (p=0.118). Hypercalcemia was observed in 29% cases. The serum P level varied significantly in groups with different eGFR (p<0.0001), increasing with declining graft function. Furthermore, 40.7% of patients had ALP above the target range. While 123 patients received active vitamin D (alfacalcidol), 33 received monotherapy with inactive vitamin D (cholecalciferol). The control group consisted of 57 medication-naïve patients. The serum total Ca level varied significantly between the groups (p=0.0006), being higher in patients supplemented with cholecalciferol. The fraction of patients with normocalcemia was lowest in the cholecalciferol group (chi-square, р=0.0018). CONCLUSION: The prevalence of biochemical abnormalities after kidney transplantation is high. Alfacalcidol usage may be safer than using cholecalciferol to prevent hypercalcemia development.

ABSTRACT

Khanty are indigenous Siberian people living on the territory of Western Siberia, mainly on the territory of the Khanty-Mansiysk and Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrugs. The present study is aimed at a comprehensive analysis of the structure of the Khanty gene pool and their comparison with other populations of the indigenous population of Southern and Western Siberia. To address the issues of genetic proximity of the Khanty with other indigenous peoples, we performed genotyping of a wide genomic set of autosomal markers using high-density biochips, as well as an expanded set of SNP and STR markers of the Y-chromosome in various ethnic groups: Khakas, Tuvans, Southern Altaians, Siberian Tatars, Chulyms (Turkic language family) and Kets (Yeniseian language family). The structure of the gene pool of the Khanty and other West Siberian and South Siberian populations was studied using a genome-wide panel of autosomal single nucleotide polymorphic markers and Y-chromosome markers. The results of the analysis of autosomal SNPs frequencies by various methods, the similarities in the composition of the Y-chromosome haplogroups and YSTR haplotypes indicate that the Khanty gene pool is quite specific. When analyzing autosomal SNPs, the Ugrian genetic component completely dominates in both samples (up to 99-100 %). The samples of the Khanty showed the maximum match in IBD blocks with each other, with a sample of the Kets, Chulyms, Tuvans, Tomsk Tatars, Khakas, Kachins, and Southern Altaians. The degree of coincidence of IBD blocks between the Khanty, Kets, and Tomsk Tatars is consistent with the results of the distribution of allele frequencies and common genetic components in these populations. According to the composition of the Y-chromosome haplogroups, the two samples of the Khanty differ significantly from each other. A detailed phylogenetic analysis of various Y-chromosome haplogroups made it possible to describe and clarify the differences in the phylogeny and structure of individual ethnospecific sublines, to determine their relationship, traces of population expansion in the Khanty gene pool. Variants of different haplogroups of the Y-chromosome in the Khanty, Khakas and Tuvans go back to their common ancestral lines. The results of a comparative analysis of male samples indicate a close genetic relationship between the Khanty and Nenets, Komi, Udmurts and Kets. The specificity of haplotypes, the discovery of various terminal SNPs confirms that the Khanty did not come into contact with other ethnic groups for a long time, except for the Nenets, which included many Khanty clans.

ABSTRACT

Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is an inherited disorder of skin fragility, caused by mutations in a large number of genes associated with skin integrity and dermal-epidermal adhesion. Skin fragility is manifested by a decrease in resistance to external mechanical influences, the clinical signs of which are the formation of blisters, erosions and wounds on the skin and mucous membranes. EB is a multisystemic disease and characterized by a wide phenotypic spectrum with extracutaneous complications in severe types, besides the skin and mucous membranes, with high mortality. More than 30 clinical subtypes have been identified, which are grouped into four main types: simplex EB, junctional EB, dystrophic EB and Kindler syndrome. To date, pathogenic variants in 16 different genes are associated with EB and encode proteins that are part of the skin anchoring structures or are signaling proteins. Genetic mutations cause dysfunction of cellular structures, differentiation, proliferation and apoptosis of cells, leading to mechanical instability of the skin. The formation of reduced proteins or decrease in their level leads mainly to functional disorders, forming mild or intermediate severe phenotypes. Absent protein expression is a result of null genetic variants and leads to structural abnormalities, causing a severe clinical phenotype. For most of the genes involved in the pathogenesis of EB, certain relationships have been established between the type and position of genetic variant and the severity of the clinical manifestations of the disease. Establishing an accurate diagnosis depends on the correlation of clinical, genealogical and immunohistological data in combination with molecular genetic testing. In general, the study of clinical, genetic and ultrastructural changes in EB has significantly expanded the understanding of the natural history of the disease and supplemented the data on genotype-phenotype correlations, promotes the search and study of epigenetic and non-genetic disease modifier factors, and also allows developing approaches to radical treatment of the disease. New advances of sequencing technologies have made it possible to describe new phenotypes and study their genetic and molecular mechanisms. This article describes the pathogenetic aspects and genes that cause main and rare syndromic subtypes of EB.

ABSTRACT

Tuvans are one of the most compactly living peoples of Southern Siberia, settled mainly in the territory of Tuva. The gene pool of the Tuvans is quite isolated, due to endogamy and a very low frequency of interethnic marriages. The structure of the gene pool of the Tuvans and other Siberian populations was studied using a genome-wide panel of autosomal single nucleotide polymorphic markers and Y-chromosome markers. The results of the analysis of the frequencies of autosomal SNPs by various methods, the similarities in the composition of the Y-chromosome haplogroups and YSTR haplotypes show that the gene pool of the Tuvans is very heterogeneous in terms of the composition of genetic components. It includes the ancient autochthonous Yeniseian component, which dominates among the Chulym Turks and Kets, the East Siberian component, which prevails among the Yakuts and Evenks, and the Far Eastern component, the frequency of which is maximum among the Nivkhs and Udeges. Analysis of the composition of IBD-blocks on autosomes shows the maximum genetic relationship of the Tuvans with the Southern Altaians, Khakas and Shors, who were formed during the settlement of the Turkic groups of populations on the territory of the Altai-Sayan region. A very diverse composition of the Tuvan gene pool is shown for various sublines of Y-chromosomal haplogroups, most of which show strong ethnic specificity. Phylogenetic analysis of individual Y-chromosome haplogroups demonstrates the maximum proximity of the gene pool of the Tuvans with the Altaians, Khakas and Shors. Differences in frequencies of Y-chromosome haplogroups between the Todzhans and Tuvans and a change in the frequencies of haplogroups from south to north associated with the East Asian component were found. The majority of the most frequent Y-chromosome haplogroups in the Tuvans demonstrate the founder effect, the formation age of which is fully consistent with the data on their ethnogenesis.

ABSTRACT

The gene pool of the indigenous population of Siberia is a unique system for studying population and evolutionary genetic processes, analyzing genetic diversity, and reconstructing the genetic history of populations. High ethnic diversity is a feature of Siberia, as one of the regions of the peripheral settlement of modern human. The vast expanses of this region and the small number of aboriginal populations contributed to the formation of significant territorial and genetic subdivision. About 40 indigenous peoples are settled on the territory of the Siberian historical and ethnographic province. Within the framework of this work, a large-scale population study of the gene pool of the indigenous peoples of Siberia was carried out for the first time at the level of high-density biochips. This makes it possible to fill in a significant gap in the genogeographic picture of the Eurasian population. For this, DNA fragments were analyzed, which had been inherited without recombination by each pair of individuals from their recent common ancestor, that is, segments (blocks) identical by descent (IBD). The distribution of IBD blocks in the populations of Siberia is in good agreement with the geographical proximity of the populations and their linguistic affiliation. Among the Siberian populations, the Chukchi, Koryaks, and Nivkhs form a separate cluster from the main Siberian group, with the Chukchi and Koryaks being more closely related. Separate subclusters of Evenks and Yakuts, Kets and Chulyms are formed within the Siberian cluster. Analysis of SNPs that fell into more IBD segments of the analyzed populations made it possible to compile a list of 5358 genes. According to the calculation results, biological processes enriched with these genes are associated with the detection of a chemical stimulus involved in the sensory perception of smell. Enriched for the genes found, molecular pathways are associated with the metabolism of linoleic, arachidonic, tyrosic acids and by olfactory transduction. At the same time, an analysis of the literature data showed that some of the selected genes, which were found in a larger number of IBD blocks in several populations at once, can play a role in genetic adaptation to environmental factors.

ABSTRACT

The advent of high-throughput sequencing technologies has expanded our understanding of the biological significance of non-coding regions of the genome. In recent years, more and more studies have been devoted to studying the role of noncoding RNAs in the development of diseases, as well as their participation in various cellular processes. Until now, all transcriptome studies of native placental tissue with the description of the noncoding RNA region were carried out without isolating individual cell populations. This approach, due to the high cellular heterogeneity of the placental tissue, significantly complicates the ability to determine the molecular-biological functions of individual cells and their role in the molecular pathogenesis of reproductive disorders. In this work, we propose a technique for obtaining total RNA from single decidual cells of frozen placental tissue obtained by laser-capture microdissection technology for transcriptome sequencing, including a cluster of noncoding RNAs. This technique can be successfully used to study the full-genome expression profile of other placental cell populations. The high accuracy of results on the transcriptome profiling of decidual cells obtained using the developed technique was additionally confirmed by an integrative analysis with the results of a 10x Genomics experiment.

ABSTRACT

Preeclampsia (PE) is a severe hypertensive pathology and affects 2-8% of pregnancies worldwide. Its etiopathogenesis is poorly understood, and prognostic biomarkers and effective treatments are unavailable for this pregnancy complication, determining the high rates of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Racial and ethnic differences in PE incidence are of interest to study in terms of evolutionary medicine because such variability can be considered as a side effect of adaptive changes that have occurred in the genetic structure of modern populations since the dispersal of Homo sapiens from Africa. Genetic diversity at 10 regulatory single nucleotide polymorphisms (rSNPs) associated with PE was studied in North Eurasian populations and world populations of the 1000 Genomes Project. The role of natural selection in the formation of this genetic diversity was assessed at the microevolutionary level. High interpopulation diversity was observed with the greatest contribution being made by allele frequencies of NDRG1 rs3802252 (FST = 0.157). Signatures of natural selection were detected for rs10423795 of LHB, rs2167270 of LEP, rs2227262 and rs3802252 of NDRG1, rs56153523 and rs8109071 of SYDE1, and rs72959687 of INHA. The results are consistent with two evolutionary hypotheses of PE, namely, those of ancestral susceptibility and genetic conflicts.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To analyze AVF patency rates after balloon angioplasty and palliative open surgery in patients with native AVF and central vein stenosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study included 39 patients who underwent percutaneous balloon angioplasty (main group) and 41 patients who underwent palliative interventions (comparison group): thrombectomy, proximalization of arteriovenous anastomosis, AVF blood flow reduction. All patients were diagnosed with stenosis of subclavian vein, innominate vein, inferior vena cava or multiple lesions. RESULTS: Primary annual patency rate in the main group was 15.4% [95% CI 6.2; 28.3], in the comparison group - 0% (p=0.0011). Secondary annual patency rate was 66.7% [95% CI 49.6; 79.1] and 19.5% [95% CI 9.2; 32.7], respectively (p<0.0001). In the main group, a strong negative correlation between primary patency rate and stenosis-free period was revealed (r= -0.627 [95%CI -0.787; -0.388], p<0.0001). We did not find such correlation in the comparison group (r=0,049 [95% CI -0.262; 0.351], p=0.7599). Thus, balloon angioplasty is less effective for delayed stenosis. This feature should be considered in planning vascular approach. Different primary and secondary patency rates in the comparison group indicate that AVF blood flow reduction is an effective palliative treatment. CONCLUSION: Balloon angioplasty can significantly increase duration of AVF patency. Effectiveness of this procedure significantly depends on the period of manifestation of central vein stenosis. Balloon angioplasty cannot be considered a radical method in case of significant stenosis. This method only prolongs period for creation of new permanent contralateral vascular approach. Reduction of AVF blood flow can significantly reduce clinical severity of central vein stenosis and slightly extends the period of AVF patency.

ABSTRACT

Obesity is one of the major challenges in modern society. More than a third of the world's population suffers froms overweight. This phenotype affects the quality of life and is associated with cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer and reproductive disorders. The population variability of allele frequencies of 26 single nucleotide polymorphisms, in association with obesity and body mass index, according to data from genome-wide association studies (GWASs) is discussed in this study. Genetic variability was analyzed in populations of Northern Eurasia and populations from the human genome diversity project (HGDP). The population samples are characterized by high genetic diversity that correlates with climatic and geographical parameters. The results of the test for searching for natural selection signals revealed a selection effect for rs1167827 of the HIP1 gene, rs7138803 and rs7164727 located in the intergenic region, rs7141420 of the NRXN3 gene, rs7498665 of the SH2B1 gene, and rs7903146 of the TCF7L2 gene.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: The role of genetic polymorphisms in the pathogenesis of recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) has been studied intensively. Complex diseases, including miscarriage, are believed to have a polygenic basis, and gene-gene interactions can play a significant role in the etiology of the disease. This study was conducted to investigate the association of gene-gene interactions with angiogenesis, endothelial dysfunction-related gene polymorphisms, and RPL. METHODS: A case-control study was conducted with 253 unrelated RPL patients with 2 or more spontaneous pregnancy losses and 339 healthy women with no history of pregnancy complications. Genotyping of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) was performed using real-time polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR), restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), or allele-specific polymerase chain reaction methods. RESULTS: The genotypes 677TT of the MTHFR gene, 936TT, 936CT, and 634CC, 634GC of the VEGF gene, and allele 894T of the NOS3 gene were associated with a predisposition to RPL in the Russian population. A significant role of additive and epistatic effects in the gene-gene interactions of the SNPs of SERPINE-1, ACE, NOS3, MTHFR, and VEGF genes in RPL was demonstrated. CONCLUSIONS: The results showed that gene-gene interactions are important for RPL susceptibility. Additionally, analysis of the genotype combinations of several allelic variants provides more information on RPL risk than analysis of independent polymorphic markers.

ABSTRACT

AIM: To estimate the association of rs11218343 in the sortilin-related receptor 1 (SORL1) gene with cognitive performance in the elderly and with Alzheimer's disease (AD) in the Russian population. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A sample included 586 elderly people (mean age 70.9±5.7 years) without AD diagnosis and 100 patients with late-onset AD (mean age 72.1±7.8 years) from the Tomsk population. SORL1 rs11218343 was genotyped using PCR and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Cognitive performance in the sample of elderly without AD was assessed by Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) test. RESULTS: Allele frequencies of the SORL1 polymorphism were not significantly different between the elderly without AD and AD patients. However mean MoCA score in the carriers of the rare allele (19.00±6.61) was significantly lower than in homozygotes for the common variant (22.25±3.89) (F=4.97; p=0.026). CONCLUSION: The rare variant in SORL1 gene previously associated with AD in genome-wide association studies and meta-analyses was associated with lower total МоСА scores in the random sample of elderly people that suggests declined cognitive functions in the carriers of this variant in elderly.

ABSTRACT

Increase in quadrupole mass filter resolution at separation in narrow band stability island (X-band) formed by biharmonic resonance excitation of ion oscillation is discussed. X-band and the normal working quadrupole mass filter modes are compared at theoretical resolution of 10,000 and different separation times. Transmission curves, acceptance ellipses parameters, and acceptance characteristics are obtained by numerical simulation. Transmission coefficients are approximately the same in both modes. Dependence of acceptance ellipses parameters on ion inlet phases has a complicated oscillating form in the X-band mode. Acceptance contours calculated for given transition levels have been compared. At low acceptance level, the combined acceptance in the X-band mode was found to be one order of magnitude higher than in the normal mode.

ABSTRACT

A replicative analysis of associations of 15 SNPs located in the regions of 11 genes (TCF4, VRK2, NOTCH4, ZNF804A, AGBL1, RELN, ZFP64P1, KCNB2, CSMD1, CPVL, NRIP1) and three intergenic regions (SLCO6A1/LINCOO491, LOC105376248/LOC105376249, SPA17/NRGN) with schizophrenia was conducted in the Russian population of the Siberian region. These SNPs were previously identified in genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of schizophrenia and cognitive abnormalities. The present study confirmed associations of KCNB2 rs2247572, CSMD1 rs2616984, and intergenic rs12807809 located in SPA17/NRGN with schizophrenia. It was established that the frequency of the CSMD1 rs2616984 G/G genotype was higher in patients compared to the control group (OR = 1.73; CI: 1.14­2.62; р = 0.0337). The frequencies of the KCNB2 rs2247572 TT genotype (OR = 0.41; CI: 0.20­0.87; р = 0.0485) and intergenic rs12807809 CT genotype located in SPA17/NRGN (OR = 0.70; CI: 0.53­0.94; р = 0.0464) were significantly decreased in patients compared to the control group.

ABSTRACT

Regulatory single nucleotide polymorphisms (rSNPs) are the least-studied group of SNP; however, they play an essential role in the development of human pathology by altering the level of candidate genes expression. In this work, we analyzed 29 rSNPs in 17 new candidate genes associated with preeclampsia (PE) according to the analysis of the transcriptome in placental tissue. Three ethnic groups have been studied (yakut, russian, and buryat). We have detected significant associations of PE with eight rSNPs in six differentially expressed genes, i.e., rs10423795 in the LHB gene; rs3771787 in the HK2 gene; rs72959687 in the INHA gene; rs12678229, rs2227262, and rs3802252 in the NDRG1 gene; rs34845949 in the SASH1 gene; and rs66707428 in the PPP1R12C gene. We used a new approach to detecting genetic markers of multifactorial diseases in the case of PE based on a combination of genomic, transcriptomic, and bioinformatic approaches. This approach proved its efficiency and may be applied to detecting new potential genetic markers in genes involved in disease pathogenesis, which reduces missing heritability in multifactorial diseases.

ABSTRACT

Human genetic markers linked with the X chromosome (X-linked) are used in the field of population and medical genetics, as well as for DNA identification of individuals in forensic science and forensic medicine. We proposed an XSNPid panel that consists of 66 unlinked single nucleotide X chromosome markers and developed a protocol for their multiplex genotyping using multilocus PCR and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. The XSNPid panel is genotyped within two multiplexes (36 and 30 markers). The developed protocol provides an efficient genotype reading; the fraction of determined genotypes is 98.29%. The high level of gene diversity (0.461) for the X-linked SNPs included in the panel is characteristic of the Russian population. A total of 63 out of 66 markers that provide a high efficiency of genotyping and independent inheritance are suitable for DNA identification purposes. The XSNPid panel is characterized by a very high discriminating ability when studying the Russian population. The probability of genotype coincidence in two unrelated individuals is 9 × 10^(-27) for women and 2 × 10^(-18) for men. Also, the XSNPid panel has a greater multiplex capacity in addition to a higher discriminating ability compared to the other closest analogues of the X chromosome SNP sets, which makes it more cost effective and less time consuming. The XSNPid panel is a convenient tool, not only for individual DNA identification, but also for population genetic studies.

ABSTRACT

Oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD) is a hereditary neuromuscular disease with autosomal dominant and rarely with autosomal recessive inheritance types. This study included 50 patients with a clinical diagnosis of OPMD, 23 asymptomatic carriers of the mutation from 45 unrelated families, and 56 healthy relatives, as well as population samples of four ethnic groups of Yakutia: Yakuts, Evens, Evenks, Yukaghirs. It was found that the cause of OPMD development in all investigated families is the same increase in.GCN repeats to 14 copies in the PABPN1 gene. The molecular structure ofthe (GCN)14 mutant allele is (GCG)10(GCA)3GCG. The genetic variability of ten SNPs at the OPMD locus was studied in patient families and population samples. The haplotypes of OPMD were determined by a segregation analysis technique using the EM algorithm in the groups of patients, mutation carriers, and population samples. Only one haplotype of four SNPs (ATCG) linked with the (GCN)14 mutant allele was found in Yakuts and Russian patients and OPMD mutation carriers. Probably, this indicates the accumulation of mutations as a result of the founder effect.

ABSTRACT

The problem of development and dispersion of complex diseases in human populations requires new views, approaches, hypotheses, and paradigms. Evolutionary medicine provides one of the promising approaches to this problem, putting the disease into an evolutionary context. Unlike classic approaches oriented to proximate issues on structure and mechanisms of a disease, evolutionary considerations are broader. It provides the basis for understanding the origin, dispersion, and maintenance of the high frequencies of pathological phenotypes in modern human populations. In the current paper, we try to review the modern concepts on the evolution of human genetic diversity, to shape the outlines of evolutionary medicine, and to illustrate evolutionary medical problems using our experimental data. Data on genome-wide search for the signals of decanalization and adaptation in the human genome and on related biological processes and diseases are presented. Some hypotheses and concepts of evolutionary medicine may be productive for revealing the mechanisms of origin and dispersion of complex diseases and for pathogenetics of multifactorial diseases. One of such concepts is the hypothesis of decanalization of genome­phenome relationships under natural selection during modern human dispersion. Probably, the high frequency of alleles associated with complex diseases (and partially the high prevalence of diseases themselves) could be explained in the framework of the hypothesis.

ABSTRACT

The data on distribution of genetic diversity in gene polymorphisms associated with autoimmune and allergic diseases and with regulation of immunoglobulin E and cytokines levels in 26 populations of the Northern Eurasia is presented. Substantial correlation between the values of average expected heterozygosity by 44 gene polymorphisms with climatic and geographical factors has not been revealed. Clustering of population groups in correspondence with their geographic locations is observed. The degree of gene differentiation among populations and the selective neutrality of gene polymorphisms have been assessed. The results of our work evidence the substantial genetic diversity and differentiation of human populations by studied genes.

ABSTRACT

Allele frequencies and genetic diversity in the population of Teleuts were assessed by the Alu repeat polymorphism at eight autosomal loci (ACE, APOA1, PLAT, F13, PV92, A25, CD4, Dl).
