    High levels of AAV vector integration into CRISPR-induced DNA breaks

    Adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors have shown promising results in preclinical models, but the genomic consequences of transduction with AAV vectors encoding CRISPR-Cas nucleases is still being examined. In ...

    Genetic predisposition to mosaic Y chromosome loss in blood

    Mosaic loss of chromosome Y (LOY) in circulating white blood cells is the most common form of clonal mosaicism15, yet our knowledge of the causes and consequences of this is limited. Here, using a computational ...

    Self-reported difficulty initiating sleep and early morning awakenings are associated with nocturnal diastolic non-dip** in older white Swedish men

    Chronically blunted nocturnal blood pressure (BP) dip** has been shown to increase the future risk of cardiovascular diseases. In the present cross-sectional study, we investigated whether self-reported inso...

    Extracellular vesicles from amyloid-β exposed cell cultures induce severe dysfunction in cortical neurons

    Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by a substantial loss of neurons and synapses throughout the brain. The exact mechanism behind the neurodegeneration is still unclear, but recent data suggests that sp...

    Leukocytes with chromosome Y loss have reduced abundance of the cell surface immunoprotein CD99

    Mosaic loss of chromosome Y (LOY) in immune cells is a male-specific mutation associated with increased risk for morbidity and mortality. The CD99 gene, positioned in the pseudoautosomal regions of chromosomes X ...

    Genetic drivers of heterogeneity in type 2 diabetes pathophysiology

    Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a heterogeneous disease that develops through diverse pathophysiological processes1,2 and molecular mechanisms that are often specific to cell type3,4. Here, to characterize the genetic c...
