A Gene-Environment Interaction
Background—Particulate air pollution has been associated with cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. Transition metals such as iron bound to the particles may be responsible for those associations. The protein product of the hemochromatosis (HFE) gene modulates uptake of iron and divalent cations from pulmonary sources and reduces their toxicity. Two HFE polymorphisms (C282Y and H63D) associat...
متن کاملRiboflavin Lowers Blood Pressure: A Review of a Novel Gene-nutrient Interaction
Hypertension, defined as a systolic/diastolic blood pressure of 140/90 mmHg or greater, is estimated to carry a three-fold increased risk of developing cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Evidence from genome-wide association studies has identified an association between blood pressure and the gene encoding the folate-metabolising enzyme, methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR). Recent meta-ana...
متن کاملGene–Environment Interaction in Yeast Gene Expression
The effects of genetic variants on phenotypic traits often depend on environmental and physiological conditions, but such gene-environment interactions are poorly understood. Recently developed approaches that treat transcript abundances of thousands of genes as quantitative traits offer the opportunity to broadly characterize the architecture of gene-environment interactions. We examined the g...
متن کاملFrom Genotype × Environment Interaction to Gene × Environment Interaction
Historically in plant breeding a large number of statistical models has been developed and used for studying genotype × environment interaction. These models have helped plant breeders to assess the stability of economically important traits and to predict the performance of newly developed genotypes evaluated under varying environmental conditions. In the last decade, the use of relatively low...
متن کاملNovel Statistical Approaches for High-dimensional Gene-gene and Gene-environment Interaction Analyses
With the advance of high-throughput technologies, large-scale genetic studies have been popularly used to uncover novel genes predisposing to complex traits. During the past decade, numerous genes have been identified through genome-wide association, exome-sequencing, and whole-genomesequencing studies, some with compelling biological plausibility for a role in complex traits. Despite such succ...
