IntroductionStudy aimed to determine the occurrence of 5 thrombosis-related single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE) (n = 2630) and a control group (n = 2637) in the Czech population.MethodsThe following gene SNPs were detected in both groups: F5 Leiden (rs6025), F2 (rs1799963), FGG, fibrinogen gamma' (rs2066865), F11 (rs2289252) and ABO (rs8176719). Statistical analysis was performed using SAS statistical software with population genetics tools.ResultsHeterozygotes for F5 Leiden were associated with a 5.58-fold and homozygotes F5 Leiden with a 33.46-fold increased risk of VTE. At SNP rs1799963 (F2, prothrombin), only heterozygotes had a significant 3.9-fold increased risk of VTE. The findings at SNP rs2066865 (fibrinogen gamma', FGG) showed a 1.37-fold increased risk of VTE for FGG heterozygotes and a 1.77-fold increased risk of VTE for FGG homozygotes. There is also a significant 1.42-fold increase risk of VTE in the heterozygotes and a 1.80-fold increase risk of VTE in the homozygotes of the SNP rs 2289252 (F11). Further higher increases in the risk of VTE in both variants were found in patients with VTE at rs8176719 (ABO, non-O). It corresponds to a 2.2-fold increase in the risk of VTE in heterozygotes and a 3.5-fold increase in the risk of VTE in homozygotes.ConclusionBesides F5 Leiden and prothrombin mutation, the study suggests that the gene polymorphisms of FGG (rs2066865), F11 (rs2289252) and ABO (rs8176719) play a role as an independent heritable risk factor for VTE in the Czech population.

INTRODUCTION: Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) and venous thromboembolism (VTE) are thought to share many common risk factors. Our study aimed to determine the frequencies of 5 thrombosis-related gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with VTE in patients with CTEPH (n 129) compared with a control group of healthy individuals without a history of VTE (n 2637). METHODS: The SNPs of the following genes were investigated: F5 (F V Leiden, rs6025), F2 prothrombin (rs1799963), fibrinogen gamma (FGG, rs2066865), F11 (rs2289252) and ABO (non-O, rs8176719) in both groups. RESULTS: The study found that the rs1799963 variant was more common in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) compared to the control group (p < .0001). The GA heterozygous variant showed a significant increase with an odds ratio (OR) of 4.480 (95% CI: 2.344-8.562) or a finding by maximum likelihood analysis (MLA) with p < .0001. Additionally, there was a notable increase in the rs8176719 variant with p < .0001 in CTEPH patients. Both the homozygous G/G variant and the heterozygous -/G variant also showed an increase, with OR of 4.2317 (95% CI: 2.45571-7.2919) and 2.4324 (95% CI: 1.46435-4.0403) respectively, or MLA (p < .0001 and p .0006). The study also revealed a higher prevalence of the heterozygous C/T variant of rs2289252 in CTEPH patients, with an OR of 1.5543 (95% CI: 1.02503-2.3568) or MLA (p .0379). CONCLUSION: The study suggests that the observed gene polymorphisms F2 (rs1799963), ABO (rs8176719), and F11 (rs2289252) may play a role as independent heritable risk factors in the development of CTEPH.

NME7 (non-metastatic cells 7, nucleoside diphosphate kinase 7) is a member of a gene family with a profound effect on health/disease status. NME7 is an established member of the ciliome and contributes to the regulation of the microtubule-organizing center. We aimed to create a rat model to further investigate the phenotypic consequences of Nme7 gene deletion. The CRISPR/Cas9 nuclease system was used for the generation of Sprague Dawley Nme7 knock-out rats targeting the exon 4 of the Nme7 gene. We found the homozygous Nme7 gene deletion to be semi-lethal, as the majority of SDNme7-/- pups died prior to weaning. The most prominent phenotypes in surviving SDNme7-/- animals were hydrocephalus, situs inversus totalis, postnatal growth retardation, and sterility of both sexes. Thinning of the neocortex was histologically evident at 13.5 day of gestation, dilation of all ventricles was detected at birth, and an external sign of hydrocephalus, i.e., doming of the skull, was usually apparent at 2 weeks of age. Heterozygous SDNme7+/- rats developed normally; we did not detect any symptoms of primary ciliary dyskinesia. The transcriptomic profile of liver and lungs corroborated the histological findings, revealing defects in cell function and viability. In summary, the knock-out of the rat Nme7 gene resulted in a range of conditions consistent with the presentation of primary ciliary dyskinesia, supporting the previously implicated role of the centrosomally located Nme7 gene in ciliogenesis and control of ciliary transport.
