Reassessing GWAS findings for the shared genetic basis of insomnia and restless legs syndrome

TL;DR: The data confirms thatMEIS1 is a genetic risk factor for the development of RLS, but it does not support the pleiotropic effect of MEIS1 in CID.
Journal ArticleDOI

ALS predisposition modifiers: knock NOX, who's there? SOD1 mice still are.

TL;DR: It was observed that one of the redox-related genes, which is specifically upregulated in activated microglia in spinal cords responding in ALS, is NOX2, and it could be predicted that motor neurons would have less damaging and fewer insults from activatedmicroglia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increased Missense Mutation Burden of Fatty Acid Metabolism Related Genes in Nunavik Inuit Population

TL;DR: The increased number and frequency of deleterious variants in these fatty acid metabolism genes in Nunavik Inuit may be the result of genetic adaptation to their diet and/or the extremely cold climate, and the identification of these variants may help to understand some of the specific health risks of Nunavk Inuit.
