Metabolic diseases are a worldwide problem but the underlying genetic factors and their relevance to metabolic disease remain incompletely understood. Genome-wide research is needed to characterize so-far unannotated mammalian metabolic genes. Here, we generate and analyze metabolic phenotypic data of 2016 knockout mouse strains under the aegis of the International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium (IMPC) and find 974 gene knockouts with strong metabolic phenotypes. 429 of those had no previous link to metabolism and 51 genes remain functionally completely unannotated. We compared human orthologues of these uncharacterized genes in five GWAS consortia and indeed 23 candidate genes are associated with metabolic disease. We further identify common regulatory elements in promoters of candidate genes. As each regulatory element is composed of several transcription factor binding sites, our data reveal an extensive metabolic phenotype-associated network of co-regulated genes. Our systematic mouse phenotype analysis thus paves the way for full functional annotation of the genome., The genetic basis of metabolic diseases is incompletely understood. Here, by high-throughput phenotyping of 2,016 knockout mouse strains, Rozman and colleagues identify candidate metabolic genes, many of which are associated with unexplored regulatory gene networks and metabolic traits in human GWAS.

The developmental and physiological complexity of the auditory system is likely reflected in the underlying set of genes involved in auditory function. In humans, over 150 non-syndromic loci have been identified, and there are more than 400 human genetic syndromes with a hearing loss component. Over 100 non-syndromic hearing loss genes have been identified in mouse and human, but we remain ignorant of the full extent of the genetic landscape involved in auditory dysfunction. As part of the International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium, we undertook a hearing loss screen in a cohort of 3006 mouse knockout strains. In total, we identify 67 candidate hearing loss genes. We detect known hearing loss genes, but the vast majority, 52, of the candidate genes were novel. Our analysis reveals a large and unexplored genetic landscape involved with auditory function., The full extent of the genetic basis for hearing impairment is unknown. Here, as part of the International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium, the authors perform a hearing loss screen in 3006 mouse knockout strains and identify 52 new candidate genes for genetic hearing loss.

Objectives: To explore differences in mindfulness facets among patients with a diagnosis of either obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD), major depressive disorder (MDD), or borderline personality disorder (BPD), and healthy controls (HC), and their associations with clinical features. Design and method: One hundred and fifty‐three patients and 50 HC underwent a clinical assessment including measures of mindfulness (Five Facets Mindfulness Questionnaire – FFMQ), psychopathological symptoms (Symptom Check List‐90‐R), dissociation (Dissociative Experience Scale), alexithymia (Alexithymia Scale 20), and depression (Beck Depression Inventory‐II). Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) were performed to assess differences in mindfulness scores and their associations with clinical features. Results: The three diagnostic groups scored lower on all mindfulness facets (apart from FFMQobserving) compared to the HC group. OCD group had a significant higher FFMQ total score (FFMQ‐TS) and FFMQacting with awareness compared to the BPD group, and scored higher on FFMQdescribing compared to BPD and MDD groups. The scores in non‐judging facet were significantly lower in all the three diagnostic groups compared to the HC group. Interestingly, higher FFMQ‐TS was inversely related to all psychological measures, regardless of diagnostic group. Conclusions: Deficits in mindfulness skills were present in all diagnostic groups. Furthermore, we found disease‐specific relationships between some mindfulness facets and specific psychological variables. Clinical implications are discussed. Practitioner points: The study showed deficits in mindfulness scores in all diagnostic groups compared to a healthy control group.Overall, mindfulness construct has a significantly negative association with indexes of global distress, dissociative symptoms, alexithymia, and depression.Mindfulness‐based interventions in clinical settings should take into account different patterns of mindfulness skills and their impact on disease‐specific maladaptive cognitive strategies or symptomatology.

- Abstract
Background The current treatment options for cancer of the base of the tongue and glosso-epiglottic region are surgery, radiotherapy, or a combination of both modalities. Comparisons between different modalities are not common in the literature, and a real standard of treatment has not yet been established. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the results of treatment in a large series of patients from 18 Italian institutions in relation to the main treatment adopted.Methods The present study is a retrospective survey. The series was divided into a combined surgery group and a radiotherapy group. The Kaplan-Meier method and the log-rank test were used for survival calculations and comparisons.Results Eight hundred patients were registered (25.7% stage III and 62% stage IV), 336 in the surgery and 372 in the radiotherapy group. Conventional fractionation was adopted in almost all cases. The five-year overall and disease free survival of the whole series was 32% and 38%, respectively. Survival was slightly better for patients with tumors of the glosso-epiglottic region than for those with a tumor of the base of the tongue. Five-year disease-free survival was 55% for patients treated with surgery +/- radiochemotherapy and 26% for those submitted to radiotherapy alone or in combination with chemotherapy. As far as the total dose and the treatment duration were concerned, only 26% of the patients of the radiotherapy group met the established criteria of adequacy, but in patients with adequate radiation the control rate was better only for small tumors (T1-T2).Conclusions The results in patients treated with surgery +/-postoperative radiotherapy were similar to or better than those reported in the best series in the literature. By contrast, the survival rate of irradiated patients was lower than those reported by other centers.

- Abstract
Effectiveness of trans-splicing-mediated mRNA reprogramming depends on specificity and efficiency. We have previously developed a new strategy (ARCHAEA-ExPRESs) that uses a tRNA endonuclease derived from Archaea and its natural substrate, the bulge-helix-bulge (BHB) structure. ARCHAEA-ExPRESs provides increased specificity in functional targeting. In fact, this system is based on a double check, the base pairing and the formation of a BHB structure between the target mRNA and the targeting RNA. In this study, we demonstrate the high specificity of ARCHAEA-ExPRESs by tagging the endogenous alpha-tubulin 4 via trans-splicing. Alpha-tubulin 4 belongs to a gene family sharing high degree of nucleotide sequence homology. The formation of a perfect BHB structure between targeting RNAs and the isotype alpha-tubulin 4 enables selective trans-splicing. Most important, ARCHAEA-ExPRESs functionality is conserved in vivo following transient expression of archaeal tRNA endonuclease in mouse liver. Production of the recombinant protein is strictly dependent on the expression of the archaeal endonuclease, and the efficiency of the system depends on the relative amount of the target and targeting mRNAs. These data prove the effectiveness of ARCHAEA-ExPRESs in an endogenous highly demanding context and disclose the possibility to utilize this system in a variety of technological or therapeutic applications.
