Association of MTHFD1 G1958A (rs2236225) gene polymorphism with the risk of congenital heart disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: We did this study to better clarify the correlations of methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase 1 (MTHFD1)-G1958A (rs2236225) gene polymorphism with the risk of congenital heart diseases (CHD) and its subgroups. METHODS: Relevant articles were searched in PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, CNKI, VIP database and Wanfang DATA until October 2023. We will use odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to examine the potential associations of MTHFD1- G1958A gene polymorphism with CHD and its subgroups. RESULTS: We included a total of 9 eligible studies, encompassing 1917 children with CHD, 1863 healthy children, 1717 mothers of the children with CHD and 1666 mothers of healthy children. In our study, the meta-analysis of fetal group revealed no significant association between any of the five genetic models for the MTHFD1-G1958A polymorphism and the risk of CHD. Subgroup analysis showed that associations between the MTHFD1-G1958A polymorphism and Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) risk in the homozygote model (AA vs. GG, OR = 2.82, 95%CI [1.16, 6.86], P = 0.02) and recessive model (AA vs. GG + GA, OR = 3.09, 95%CI [1.36, 7.03], P = 0.007). In addition, the MTHFD1-G1958A polymorphism was associated with the risk of CHD in racial subgroup, increasing the risk of CHD in Caucasians. In maternal analysis, 2 genetic models of MTHFD1-G1958A polymorphism increased the risk of CHD: the heterozygote model (GA vs. GG, OR = 1.22, 95%CI [1.04, 1.42], P = 0.01), and the dominance model (GA + AA vs. GG, OR = 1.17, 95%CI [1.01, 1.34], P = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS: The fetal MTHFD1-G1958A (rs2236225) gene polymorphism increase their risk of TOF. The maternal MTHFD1-G1958A polymorphism has a strong correlation with the risk of CHD, and there are racial differences in this correlation. Compared with GG genotype, the GA genotype increases the risk of CHD.

Global Genomic Surveillance.

Global genomic surveillance has emerged as a foundational pillar of public health in the twenty-first century, enabling real-time tracking of pathogen evolution and informing outbreak response. This chapter examines the strategic architecture of global genomic surveillance, focusing on its application to arboviruses such as chikungunya virus (CHIKV). It explores the integration of genomic data with epidemiological, clinical, and environmental information within a One Health framework, while addressing critical challenges in governance, equity, and interoperability. The discussion covers the entire genomic surveillance workflow, from sample collection and sequencing to bioinformatic analysis and phylogenetic inference, and highlights the transformative role of artificial intelligence (AI) in predictive surveillance. By analyzing global initiatives, operational barriers, and emerging technologies, this chapter underscores the necessity of sustainable, equitable, and interoperable genomic systems to proactively address current and future infectious disease threats.

Systematic Dissection of Key Driver Perturbation Signatures in Single Cells via ECCITE-seq.

CRISPR screens, such as expanded CRISPR-compatible cellular indexing of transcriptomes and epitopes by sequencing (ECCITE-seq), enable the simultaneous measurement of transcriptomes, gRNA identity, and cell-surface protein expression at single-cell resolution to systematically interrogate gene function. This platform provides a powerful and scalable experimental approach for validating disease-associated regulators identified by large-scale association studies and other computational methods, including network-based analyses of multi-omics data. Here, as an example application, we describe an ECCITE-seq framework to characterize the transcriptomic consequences of perturbing multiple neuronal key driver genes associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) in human-induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived neurons. More broadly, by integrating customized pooled gRNA libraries with different CRISPR effectors across multiple cell types, this approach allows for the assessment of the regulatory impact of candidate genes implicated in development and disease processes.

Identification of Genome-Wide Chromatin Structural Aberration in Cancer by Hi-C Analysis.

Aberrant three-dimensional genome organization is a hallmark of cancer, often driving oncogene activation through mechanisms such as enhancer hijacking. High-throughput chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) maps these interactions on a genome-wide scale. Unlike earlier dilution-based methods, in situ Hi-C performs proximity ligation within intact nuclei, minimizing random ligation noise and enabling fine-scale structure detection. This chapter describes an optimized in situ Hi-C protocol tailored for cancer cell lines using MboI digestion and biotin-mediated pull-down to generate high-complexity libraries. We further outline a computational workflow that extends beyond standard topological mapping of compartments and topologically associating domains to identify cancer-specific aberrations. Specifically, we focus on detecting chromosomal rearrangements (structural variants) and characterizing the distinct circular topology of extrachromosomal DNA. This integrated experimental and analytical framework provides the necessary tools to dissect the spatial dysregulation underlying tumor evolution.
