Abstract

Background: SARS-CoV-2, the causal agent of COVID-19, enters human cells using the ACE2 (angiotensin-converting enzyme 2) protein as a receptor. ACE2 is thus key to the infection and treatment of the coronavirus. ACE2 is highly expressed in the heart and respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts, playing important regulatory roles in the cardiovascular and other biological systems. However, the genetic basis of the ACE2 protein levels is not well understood. Methods: We have conducted the largest genome-wide association meta-analysis of plasma ACE2 levels in >28 000 individuals of the SCALLOP Consortium (Systematic and Combined Analysis of Olink Proteins). We summarize the cross-sectional epidemiological correlates of circulating ACE2. Using the summary statistics–based high-definition likelihood method, we estimate relevant genetic correlations with cardiometabolic phenotypes, COVID-19, and other human complex traits and diseases. We perform causal inference of soluble ACE2 on vascular disease outcomes and COVID-19 severity using mendelian randomization. We also perform in silico functional analysis by integrating with other types of omics data. Results: We identified 10 loci, including 8 novel, capturing 30% of the heritability of the protein. We detected that plasma ACE2 was genetically correlated with vascular diseases, severe COVID-19, and a wide range of human complex diseases and medications. An X-chromosome cis–protein quantitative trait loci–based mendelian randomization analysis suggested a causal effect of elevated ACE2 levels on COVID-19 severity (odds ratio, 1.63 [95% CI, 1.10–2.42]; P =0.01), hospitalization (odds ratio, 1.52 [95% CI, 1.05–2.21]; P =0.03), and infection (odds ratio, 1.60 [95% CI, 1.08–2.37]; P =0.02). Tissue- and cell type–specific transcriptomic and epigenomic analysis revealed that the ACE2 regulatory variants were enriched for DNA methylation sites in blood immune cells. Conclusions: Human plasma ACE2 shares a genetic basis with cardiovascular disease, COVID-19, and other related diseases. The genetic architecture of the ACE2 protein is mapped, providing a useful resource for further biological and clinical studies on this coronavirus receptor.

Abstract

The genome, the protein-biosynthesis and the metabolism constitute a complex, strongly linked system. The complete functionality of this system is not entirely understood yet. Especially pharmacologists and medical doctors are interested to know how the system works regarding the influence of medications (Drug-Pointing). In the last thirty years biochemical research delivered a huge amount of relevant data for this field. The problem is, that all this data is highly distributed in thousands of databases which are just partly interconnected. Gathering and interconnecting this large amount of distributed data by hand significantly slows down the research process. Hence it is vitally important to create tools in terms of information-systems, which support the process of understanding through automatic data-integration and analysis. In this paper we would like to introduce our approach of a corresponding information-system. MILAN is an extensible datawarehouse framework, which has already integrated about 7.7 million medical publication-abstracts as well as metabolic pathways and information about enzymes, ligands, agents and pharmaceuticals from a collection of major biochemical databases. The system provides a set of functionalities to show where the metabolism is affected by a certain drug and instantly displays the most relevant publications for the particular case. Future development will focus on the integration of more databases and the development of additional functions like detection of side-effects and drug-interactions.

Abstract

Circulating proteins are vital in human health and disease and are frequently used as biomarkers for clinical decision-making or as targets for pharmacological intervention. Here, we map and replicate protein quantitative trait loci (pQTL) for 90 cardiovascular proteins in over 30,000 individuals, resulting in 451 pQTLs for 85 proteins. For each protein, we further perform pathway mapping to obtain trans-pQTL gene and regulatory designations. We substantiate these regulatory findings with orthogonal evidence for trans-pQTLs using mouse knockdown experiments (ABCA1 and TRIB1) and clinical trial results (chemokine receptors CCR2 and CCR5), with consistent regulation. Finally, we evaluate known drug targets, and suggest new target candidates or repositioning opportunities using Mendelian randomization. This identifies 11 proteins with causal evidence of involvement in human disease that have not previously been targeted, including EGF, IL-16, PAPPA, SPON1, F3, ADM, CASP-8, CHI3L1, CXCL16, GDF15 and MMP-12. Taken together, these findings demonstrate the utility of large-scale mapping of the genetics of the proteome and provide a resource for future precision studies of circulating proteins in human health.

Abstract

Genetic studies of blood pressure (BP) to date have mainly analyzed common variants (minor allele frequency > 0.05). In a meta-analysis of up to similar to 1.3 million participants, we discovered 106 new BP-associated genomic regions and 87 rare (minor allele frequency ≤ 0.01) variant BP associations (P < 5 x 10(⁻⁸)), of which 32 were in new BP-associated loci and 55 were independent BP-associated single-nucleotide variants within known BP-associated regions. Average effects of rare variants (44% coding) were similar to 8 times larger than common variant effects and indicate potential candidate causal genes at new and known loci (for example, GATA5 and PLCB3). BP-associated variants (including rare and common) were enriched in regions of active chromatin in fetal tissues, potentially linking fetal development with BP regulation in later life. Multivariable Mendelian randomization suggested possible inverse effects of elevated systolic and diastolic BP on large artery stroke. Our study demonstrates the utility of rare-variant analyses for identifying candidate genes and the results highlight potential therapeutic targets., Correction A Publisher Correction to this article was published on 16 March 2021.

Abstract

Background: Schizophrenia (SCZ) is associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D). The potential diabetogenic effect of concomitant application of psychotropic treatment classes in patients with SCZ has not yet been evaluated. The overarching goal of the Genetic Overlap between Metabolic and Psychiatric disease (GOMAP) study is to assess the effect of pharmacological, anthropometric, lifestyle and clinical measurements, helping elucidate the mechanisms underlying the aetiology of T2D. Methods: The GOMAP case-control study (Genetic Overlap between Metabolic and Psychiatric disease) includes hospitalized patients with SCZ, some of whom have T2D. We enrolled 1653 patients with SCZ; 611 with T2D and 1042 patients without T2D. This is the first study of SCZ and T2D comorbidity at this scale in the Greek population. We retrieved detailed information on first- and second-generation antipsychotics (FGA, SGA), antidepressants and mood stabilizers, applied as monotherapy, 2-drug combination, or as 3- or more drug combination. We assessed the effects of psychotropic medication, body mass index, duration of schizophrenia, number of hospitalizations and physical activity on risk of T2D. Using logistic regression, we calculated crude and adjusted odds ratios (OR) to identify associations between demographic factors and the psychiatric medications. Results: Patients with SCZ on a combination of at least three different classes of psychiatric drugs had a higher risk of T2D [OR 1.81 (95% CI 1.22-2.69); p=0.003] compared to FGA alone therapy, after adjustment for age, BMI, sex, duration of SCZ and number of hospitalizations. We did not find evidence for an association of SGA use or the combination of drugs belonging to two different classes of psychiatric medications with increased risk of T2D [1.27 (0.84-1.93), p=0.259 and 0.98 (0.71-1.35), p=0.885, respectively] compared to FGA use. Conclusions: We find an increased risk of T2D in patients with SCZ who take a combination of at least three different psychotropic medication classes compared to patients whose medication consists only of one or two classes of drugs. © 2018 The Author(s).

Abstract

The epidemiologic link between schizophrenia (SCZ) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) remains poorly understood. Here, we investigate the presence and extent of a shared genetic background between SCZ and T2D using genome-wide approaches. We performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) and polygenic risk score analysis in a Greek sample collection (GOMAP) comprising three patient groups: SCZ only (n = 924), T2D only (n = 822), comorbid SCZ and T2D (n = 505); samples from two separate Greek cohorts were used as population-based controls (n = 1,125). We used genome-wide summary statistics from two large-scale GWAS of SCZ and T2D from the PGC and DIAGRAM consortia, respectively, to perform genetic overlap analyses, including a regional colocalisation test. We show for the first time that patients with comorbid SCZ and T2D have a higher genetic predisposition to both disorders compared to controls. We identify five genomic regions with evidence of colocalising SCZ and T2D signals, three of which contain known loci for both diseases. We also observe a significant excess of shared association signals between SCZ and T2D at nine out of ten investigated p value thresholds. Finally, we identify 29 genes associated with both T2D and SCZ, several of which have been implicated in biological processes relevant to these disorders. Together our results demonstrate that the observed comorbidity between SCZ and T2D is at least in part due to shared genetic mechanisms. © 2018, The Author(s).

Abstract

Background: Over 90 regions of the genome have been associated with lung function to date, many of which have also been implicated in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Methods: We carried out meta-analyses of exome array data and three lung function measures: forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV 1), forced vital capacity (FVC) and the ratio of FEV 1 to FVC (FEV 1/FVC). These analyses by the SpiroMeta and CHARGE consortia included 60,749 individuals of European ancestry from 23 studies, and 7,721 individuals of African Ancestry from 5 studies in the discovery stage, with follow-up in up to 111,556 independent individuals. Results: We identified significant (P<2·8x10 -7) associations with six SNPs: a nonsynonymous variant in RPAP1, which is predicted to be damaging, three intronic SNPs ( SEC24C, CASC17 and UQCC1) and two intergenic SNPs near to LY86 and FGF10. Expression quantitative trait loci analyses found evidence for regulation of gene expression at three signals and implicated several genes, including TYRO3 and PLAU. Conclusions: Further interrogation of these loci could provide greater understanding of the determinants of lung function and pulmonary disease.

Abstract

Het middelbaar beroepsonderwijs is een belangrijke emancipatiemotor voor jongeren met een migratie achtergrond. Tegelijkertijd zijn er zorgen over de toenemende gevoelens van vervreemding van deze jongeren ten aanzien van de Nederlandse samenleving. En over docenten die worstelen met handelingsverlegenheid wanneer ze hiermee worden geconfronteerd. Dit boek biedt een onthullende inkijk in de complexe dagelijkse leefwereld van een Randstedelijke mbo school voor Helpende Zorg en Welzijn. Op grond van concrete casussen wordt duidelijk dat er soms wel iets te verbeteren valt aan de solidariteit tussen studenten of aan het ‘spelgevoel’ van docenten. Maar een aanzienlijk deel van de problemen op school blijkt te wijten aan de aanhoudende organisatorische onrust ten gevolge van het ‘trilemma’ van kwaliteit, rendement en emancipatie waarvoor veel onderwijsinstellingen in Nederland zich tegenwoordig gesteld zien.

Abstract

Recent genome-wide association studies have identified several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with glucose levels. We tested the hypothesis here whether the cumulative effect of glucose raising SNPs, assessed via a score, is associated with glucose levels. A total of 1,434 participants of Greek descent from the THISEAS study and 1,160 participants form the GOMAP study were included in this analysis. We developed a genetic risk score (GRS), based on the known glucose-raising loci, in order to investigate the cumulative effect of known glucose loci on glucose levels. In the THISEAS study, the GRS score was significantly associated with increased glucose levels (mmol/L) (β ± SE: 0.024 ± 0.004, P = 8.27e-07). The effect of the genetic risk score was also significant in the GOMAP study (β ± SE: 0.011 ± 0.005, P = 0.031). In the meta-analysis of the two studies both scores were significantly associated with higher glucose levels GRS: β ± SE: 0.019 ± 0.003, P = 1.41e-09. Also, variants at the SLC30A8, PROX1, MTNR1B, ADRA2A, G6PC2, LPIN3 loci indicated nominal evidence for association with glucose levels (p < 0.05). We replicate associations of the established glucose raising variants in the Greek population and confirm directional consistency of effects (binomial sign test p = 6.96e-05). We also demonstrate that the cumulative effect of the established glucose loci yielded a significant association with increasing glucose levels. © 2017 Marouli et al.

Abstract

De verhouding tussen jongeren en de politie in de Haagse Schilderswijk is al jaren moeizaam. Na de dood van Mitch Henriquez door politiegeweld leidden de opgebouwde frustraties in 2015 tot rellen. Desondanks stelden diverse onderzoekers dat er geen sprake was van buitenproportioneel optreden of discriminatie door de politie. Tegen deze achtergrond voerde het lectoraat Burgerschap en Diversiteit van De Haagse Hogeschool een onderzoek uit naar het vertrouwen van jonge Schilderswijkers in de politie. Uit hun verhalen blijkt dat zelfs zeer kritische jongeren grote waardering hebben voor hun wijkagent, maar dat het gevoel van discriminatie alomtegenwoordig is. Ook wordt duidelijk dat de interactie tussen jongeren en politie alleen kan worden begrepen tegen de achtergrond van de ongelijke machtsverhoudingen op macroniveau.

Abstract

Background: Smoking is the strongest environmental risk factor for reduced pulmonary function. The genetic component of various pulmonary traits has also been demonstrated, and at least 26 loci have been reproducibly associated with either FEV1 (forced expiratory volume in 1 second) or FEV1/FVC (FEV1/forced vital capacity). Although the main effects of smoking and genetic loci are well established, the question of potential gene-by-smoking interaction effect remains unanswered. The aim of the present study was to assess, using a genetic risk score approach, whether the effect of these 26 loci on pulmonary function is influenced by smoking. Methods: We evaluated the interaction between smoking exposure, considered as either ever vs never or pack-years, and a 26-single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) genetic risk score in relation to FEV1 or FEV1/FVC in 50 047 participants of European ancestry from the Cohorts for Heart and Aging Research in Genomic Epidemiology (CHARGE) and SpiroMeta consortia. Results: We identified an interaction (βint = −0.036, 95% confidence interval, −0.040 to −0.032, P = 0.00057) between an unweighted 26 SNP genetic risk score and smoking status (ever/never) on the FEV1/FVC ratio. In interpreting this interaction, we showed that the genetic risk of falling below the FEV1/FVC threshold used to diagnose chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is higher among ever smokers than among never smokers. A replication analysis in two independent datasets, although not statistically significant, showed a similar trend in the interaction effect. Conclusions: This study highlights the benefit of using genetic risk scores for identifying interactions missed when studying individual SNPs and shows, for the first time, that persons with the highest genetic risk for low FEV1/FVC may be more susceptible to the deleterious effects of smoking.

Abstract

The present study aims to investigate if – and if so, how – the intercultural training programme ‘Preparation for Foreign Learning Experience’ (PREFLEX) has a positive effect on the development of the intercultural competence of students at THUAS in international groups (i.e. school for International Business and Management Studies, IBMS) and students in intercultural groups (i.e. school for Commercial Economy, CE). In addition, the study aims to advance the design of the programme further. Accordingly, the study addresses the following central research question: In what way do the intercultural classroom and the international classroom contribute to the development of intercultural competences in first-year students at THUAS, and to what extent does preparation and guidance, by means of the PREFLEX training module, effectively enhance this development?

Abstract

The grape is one of the earliest domesticated fruit crops and, since antiquity, it has been widely cultivated and prized for its fruit and wine. Here, we characterize genome-wide patterns of genetic variation in over 1,000 samples of the domesticated grape, Vitis vinifera subsp. vinifera, and its wild relative, V. vinifera subsp. sylvestris from the US Department of Agriculture grape germ-plasm collection. We find support for a Near East origin of vinifera and present evidence of introgression from local sylvestris as the grape moved into Europe. High levels of genetic diversity and rapid linkage disequilibrium (LD) decay have been maintained in vinifera, which is consistent with a weak domestication bottleneck followed by thousands of years of widespread vegetative propagation. The considerable genetic diversity within vinifera, however, is contained within a complex network of close pedigree relationships that has been generated by crosses among elite cultivars. We show that first-degree relationships are rare between wine and table grapes and among grapes from geographically distant regions. Our results suggest that although substantial genetic diversity has been maintained in the grape subsequent to domestication, there has been a limited exploration of this diversity. We propose that the adoption of vegetative propagation was a double-edged sword: Although it provided a benefit by ensuring true breeding cultivars, it also discouraged the generation of unique cultivars through crosses. The grape currently faces severe pathogen pressures, and the long-term sustainability of the grape and wine industries will rely on the exploitation of the grape's tremendous natural genetic diversity.

Abstract

Een superdiverse samenleving biedt nieuwe kansen, maar ‘super’ verwijst niet zozeer naar super goed als wel naar super complex. Toekomstig onderzoek naar praktijken van burgerschap en diversiteit staat daarom voor grote uitdagingen. De eerste uitdaging betreft ons taalgebruik. Ik stel voor dat we als onderzoekers voortaan het bijvoeglijk naamwoord ‘cultureel’ zoveel mogelijk vermijden. We kunnen constateren dat het bij Surinaamse gezinnen de gewoonte is om in huis je schoenen uit te doen, of dat Nederlanders gehecht zijn aan de traditie van Sinterklaas. Maar wat voegt de mededeling dat het gaat om een culturele gewoonte of traditie aan deze beweringen toe? Niets anders dan de suggestie dat die gewoonte of traditie veroorzaakt zou worden door een onderliggende Surinaamse of Nederlandse cultuur, terwijl het er alleen maar een (helemaal niet zo essentieel) onderdeel van uit maakt. Een tweede uitdaging is een epistemische uitdaging. In het onderzoek naar omgangsvormen in de grootstedelijke samenleving moeten we, naast aandacht voor de relatie tussen immigranten en de autochtone bevolking, veel meer aandacht gaan besteden aan de relaties tussen immigrantengroepen onderling: onder welke voorwaarden ontstaan vruchtbare samenwerkings- en samenlevingsverbanden, en hoe te voorkomen dat groepen tegenover elkaar komen te staan? Welke symbolische en materiële machtsverhoudingen ontwikkelen zich, en welke rol spelen hierbij factoren als inkomen, opleiding, taal, religie en habitus? Het lijkt erop dat voor het begrijpen van deze sociale dynamiek zowel het conceptuele raamwerk van gevestigden en buitenstaanders van Elias en Scotson, als de noties van economisch, sociaal en cultureel kapitaal van Bourdieu nog steeds heel bruikbaar zijn. De derde, en misschien wel grootste uitdaging is een normatieve uitdaging. Op grond van de hier voorgestelde constructivistische conceptie van cultuur kunnen we constateren dat het geen enkele zin heeft om de vraag te stellen of ‘een cultuur’ in zijn geheel moreel beter of minder is dan andere culturen. Het is daarentegen uitermate zinvol, zelfs noodzakelijk, dat we een bepaalde traditie of praktijk onder de loep nemen, en gezamenlijk exploreren hoe rechtvaardig of hoe waardevol deze (nog) is binnen de nieuwe verhoudingen van een superdiverse samenleving. Bestuurders, beleidsmakers en professionals kunnen een positieve bijdrage leveren aan de onderlinge integratie in majority-minority steden, aan de verbetering van verstandhoudingen op de werkvloer, in het onderwijs, de gezondheidszorg, het publieke debat of de openbare ruimte, wanneer ze hun rol als normatieve professional serieus nemen. Het recente debat over de rol van de figuur van zwarte Piet in de Nederlandse Sinterklaas traditie is, hoe pijnlijk ook, een mooi voorbeeld hiervan. Een ander zinvol initiatief aan De Haagse Hogeschool is de start van een ‘dilemmabank’ een interactieve databank waar medewerkers, aan de hand van het (in overleg met veel betrokkenen ontwikkeld) Handelingskader Diversiteit, dilemma’s en oplossingen uit hun eigen praktijk kunnen indienen: als bron van discussie en reflectie.

Abstract

Aims: Brugada syndrome (BrS) remains genetically heterogeneous and is associated with slowed cardiac conduction. We aimed to identify genetic variation in BrS cases at loci associated with QRS duration. Methods and results: A multi-centre study sequenced seven candidate genes (SCN10A, HAND1, PLN, CASQ2, TKT, TBX3, and TBX5) in 156 Caucasian SCN5A mutation-negative BrS patients (80% male; mean age 48) with symptoms (64%) and/or a family history of sudden death (47%) or BrS (18%). Forty-nine variants were identified: 18 were rare (MAF <1%) and non-synonymous; and 11/18 (61.1%), mostly in SCN10A, were predicted as pathogenic using multiple bioinformatics tools. Allele frequencies were compared with the Exome Sequencing and UK10K Projects. SKAT methods tested rare variation in SCN10A finding no statistically significant difference between cases and controls. Co-segregation analysis was possible for four of seven probands carrying a novel pathogenic variant. Only one pedigree (I671V/G1299A in SCN10A) showed co-segregation. The SCN10A SNP V1073 was, however, associated strongly with BrS [66.9 vs. 40.1% (UK10K) OR (95% CI) = 3.02 (2.35-3.87), P = 8.07 × 10-19]. Voltage-clamp experiments for NaV1.8 were performed for SCN10A common variants V1073, A1073, and rare variants of interest: A200V and I671V. V1073, A200V and I671V, demonstrated significant reductions in peak INa compared with ancestral allele A1073 (rs6795970). Conclusion: Rare variants in the screened QRS-associated genes (including SCN10A) are not responsible for a significant proportion of SCN5A mutation negative BrS. The common SNP SCN10A V1073 was strongly associated with BrS and demonstrated loss of NaV1.8 function, as did rare variants in isolated patients.

Abstract

Met haar kenniskring doet Baukje Prins, lector Burgerschap en Diversiteit, etnografisch onderzoek naar alledaagse omgangsvormen in de samenleving. Het onderzoek beweegt zich langs drie lijnen: de openbare ruimte, het onderwijs en de onderkant van de arbeidsmarkt. "Ik vind het daarin belangrijk een koppeling te maken tussen empirisch onderzoek en normatieve stellingnames."

Abstract

Wat hebben maatschappelijk werkers, leraren in het middelbaar onderwijs, ondernemers in een grootstedelijke winkelstraat, schoonmakers in een verzorgingstehuis en hbo studenten in de Randstad met elkaar gemeen? Dat ze werken en leren in een omgeving waar 'autochtone' Nederlanders niet meer vanzelfsprekend in de meerderheid zijn. Integratie is hier een zaak van een samenleving van minderheden geworden. (Hoe) lukt het mensen om in zo'n 'superdiverse' omgeving relaties aan te gaan over de grenzen van hun 'eigen' groep heen: op welke terreinen vinden ze elkaar, en wanneer stokt de communicatie? En welke rol spelen verschillen in cultuur hier eigenlijk bij? Dit boek bevat het verslag van een aantal casestudies naar alledaagse omgangsvormen in de grootstedelijke samenleving, verricht door onderzoekers verbonden aan het lectoraat Burgerschap en Diversiteit van De Haagse Hogeschool.

Abstract

De tijd van de Grote Verhalen en de Nieuwe Ideologieën is voorbij, zegt men. Een serieus politiek manifest, dat een wereldwijde revolutionaire vernieuwing in het politieke denken aan zou kondigen, kan niet meer geschreven worden. De scepsis ten aanzien van universele waarheidsaanspraken is daarvoor tegenwoordig te groot. Bovendien zijn we uitgerust met een behoorlijke dosis wantrouwen ten aanzien van de radicaliteit van revolutionaire inzichten: ze hebben de neiging alles wat niet in hun kader past aan zich ondergeschikt te maken of te negeren. Postmoderne denkers als Foucault, Lyotard en Derrida voeden dit wantrouwen.

Abstract

Volgens Geert Wilders zou het Nederlandse burgers verboden moeten worden nog een ander paspoort dan het Nederlandse op zak te hebben. Want, zo meent hij, een dubbele nationaliteit leidt automatisch tot een dubbele loyaliteit. En dubbelheid is dubieus: ze leidt tot gespletenheid en zet aan tot ontrouw. Zelfs volledig geïntegreerde immigranten als Aboutaleb, Albayrak en Arib krijgen daarbij het nadeel van het wantrouwen. Ook al zetten ze zich al jaren in voor de Nederlandse publieke zaak, toch moeten ze zich verweren tegen de verdachtmaking dat loyaliteit aan hun moederland ten koste gaat van hun loyaliteit aan Nederland.

Abstract

De langverwachte integratiebijbel van Paul Scheffer is er. Volgens hemzelf een hoopgevend verhaal dat oproept tot nieuwe gemeenschapszin, maar volgens Baukje Prins is dat slechts de misleidende verpakking van deze dikke pil van een onheilsprofeet. Suggesties die te denken geven, taalgebruik en asymmetrische oproepen tot zelfkritiek, verraden een weinig inclusief 'wij' bij de zelfbenoemde bruggenbouwer."Het 'wij' van Het land van aankomst is bijna zonder uitzondering het 'wij' van de gevestigden".
