Whole-Genome Analysis of Plasma Fibrinogen Reveals Population-Differentiated Genetic Regulators with Putative Liver Roles

Whole-Genome Analysis of Plasma Fibrinogen Reveals Population-Differentiated Genetic Regulators with Potential Liver Roles Academic Background Fibrinogen is a crucial coagulation factor and acute-phase reactive protein. Under normal physiological conditions, fibrinogen is abundant in circulation, but during the acute inflammatory response, transcri...

Widespread Exclusive Yin Yang Haplotypes in the Human Genome

Unique Yin Yang Haplotypes Widely Present in the Human Genome Research Background In genomic studies, yin yang haplotypes refer to pairs of haplotypes that differ at every site. While previous independent reports have indicated the existence of unique yin yang haplotypes, no systematic search had been conducted. Therefore, to better understand the ...

Association of EIF2AK3 Variants with Neurocognitive Impairment in People Living with HIV

Research Report on the Association between Gene Variants and Neurocognitive Impairment in HIV Patients Over the past few decades, antiretroviral therapy (ART) has greatly improved the health of people infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). However, even with effective viral suppression and partial immune system recovery, up to 50% of Peo...
