In order to investigate the prevalence and prognostic value of the polymorphic variant (1245A>C) of the HSD3B1 gene, in the tumors of patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer, we retrospectively analyzed a small number of tumor samples from 44 patients by genomic sequencing. We noticed a relatively high prevalence in the overall study group (n = 23; 52.2%) as well as in the subgroup of patients undergoing second systemic treatment (n = 20; 51.2%) where we assessed for survival outcomes. However, this alteration was neither associated with the time to progression nor with survival.

We previously reported significant association between a single nucleotide polymorphism in PER3 (rs2640909) and Morning but not Evening Lateness scale of the Sleep–Wake Pattern Assessment Questionnaire. To further explore such a scale-specific relationship, seven single nucleotide polymorphisms in five circadian clock genes were studied using exploratory and confirmatory samples (in total, n = 698). The association of rs2640909 with Morning Lateness scale was not replicated in the confirmatory sample but remained significant in the merged sample. Moreover, we found and confirmed an association of this scale with rs1159814 in RORα. The results provided further evidence for differential relationship of polymorphisms in circadian clock genes with morning and evening components of morning–evening preference. We also suggested possibility to take into account the pattern of geographic variation in allele frequency for prioritization of circadian clock polymorphisms in candidate gene studies.

© 2018 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. The mechanism of the molecular circadian clocks is currently understood as a transcription/translation feedback loop involving more than ten genes. Genetic variation at some of loci in these genes has been shaped by adaptation to environmental factors. In particular, latitudinal clines in allele frequency were documented in several animal species, but the contradictory conclusions were drawn from the results of rare human studies. Here we tested whether the out-of-African dispersal of human populations to higher latitudes of the Eurasian continent was associated with latitude-dependent shifts in allele frequency at polymorphic loci in genes of three (reference, circadian and skin pigmentation) groups. In order to detect the genetics-based signatures left by latitude-driven adaptation and to distinguish them from the confounding effects of population demographic history, we analyzed allele frequencies in 1594 individuals from 5 African and 11 Eurasian populations of the 1000 Genomes Project Phase 3. Up to 80 polymorphisms with global minor allele frequency > 0.2 were sampled from each of 36 genes (1665 polymorphisms in total). As expected, percentage of polymorphisms demonstrating both significantly enlarged differentiation of Eurasian populations on allele frequency and significant correlation between latitude and allele frequency was significantly higher in pigmentation genes compared to circadian genes and in circadian genes compared to reference genes. We also showed that the latitude-driven adaptation can be separated from genetic consequences of demographic perturbations by comparison of results obtained for the whole set of 16 African and Eurasian populations with results for only Eurasian populations that share the common demographic history. The revealed latitudinal clines in allele frequency seemed to be shaped by polygenic selection occurring by small allele frequency shifts spread across many loci in circadian and non-circadian genes. The present results provided a rationale for necessity to facilitate candidate gene studies by prioritizing genetic markers of chronotype.

© 2018 Sychev et al. Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the impact of ABCB1 (MDR1) rs1045642 polymorphisms on the efficacy and safety of amlodipine in Caucasian patients. Patients and methods: The 12-week study included 100 patients. Patients with the newly diagnosed stage I–II hypertension (HT) were recruited to complete genotyping of the rs1045642 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP). The study design did not include a control group. Before treatment, all patients either did not undergo antihypertensive treatment at all or did not receive regular antihypertensive therapy. The initial dose was 5 mg/day. Four office blood pressure measurements, two 24-hour noninvasive ambulatory blood pressure measurements, and questionnaires of Tsvetov were used to evaluate the efficacy and safety of amlodipine. Results and conclusion: The highest antihypertensive effect in combination with the lowest incidence of adverse reactions was observed in the TT group, while patients with the CC genotype showed a low antihypertensive effect and the highest incidence of adverse effects. Patients with the CC genotype presented with adverse effects predominantly in the form of edema. A total of 33 patients reached the target blood pressure (SBP <140 mmHg; DBP <90 mmHg): two patients with the CC genotype (12%); 18 patients with the CT genotype (34%); and 13 patients with the TT genotype (43%). The intergroup differences were: CC vs CT, P=0.02; CC vs TT, P=0.02; and CT vs TT, P=0.05. The results of this study indicate the potential of pharmacogenetic testing for rs1045642 SNP when prescribing amlodipine for the first time in Caucasian patients with stage I–II arterial HT.

Today it is noted that the most cases of the hypospadias, cryptorchidism, testicular microlithiasis, as well as problems of semen quality and testicular germ cell tumours can be a clinical manifestation of testicular dysgenesis syndrome caused by abnormal development of reproductive organs. In the last decade, technological progress in the molecular genetics has made possible to carry out a directed search for genetic factors associated with reproductive disorders in men. In the review we attempted to analyze available literature data on the testicular dysgenesis syndrome and its constituent condition and also to consider the risk factors associated with its development. We give particular attention to the consideration of genetic factors that determine the manifestation of testicular microlithiasis, cryptorchidism and testicular germ cell tumors, both individual clinical conditions and in the syndrome of testicular dysgenesis. Knowledge of the genetic aspects of reproductive damage will allow us to characterize the complex interconnection of the human genome with the clinical phenotype, clarify the role of unfavorable factors of the environment and the lifestyle of the individual, and suggest new approaches to treatment.
