Abstract:

Much of the impact of genes on mood disorders likely depends on interactions between genes and the environment. Recent studies demonstrating an interaction between specific genes and life stressful events (early and/or adult) in the modulation of several mood disorders (e.g., serotonin transporter and brain-derived neurotrophic factor genes) have compelled researchers to incorporate information about adverse environmental experiences into the study of genetic risk factors; these same gene-by-environment (G×E) interactions have been identified in mouse models. Notably, G×E not yet described in

The current chapter reviews our progress in understanding how genes influence eating disorders by addressing the following areas: (1) how recognition of genetic influences on eating disorders emerged; (2) the complexities of gene environment interplay; (3) what twin studies can tell us about gene environment interplay, and (4) the current state of molecular genetic studies. It is concluded that both genes and nonshared environment play a critical role in the explanatory framework for the etiology of eating disorders.

Monogenic chylomicronemia is an autosomal recessive condition characterized by severely elevated fasting triglyceride that carries lifelong elevated risk of developing pancreatitis. The majority of cases are caused by mutations in the LPL gene encoding lipoprotein lipase, the enzyme primarily responsible for chylomicron clearance. Mutations in genes encoding associated proteins (APOC2, APOA5, GPIHBP1 and LMF1) may also present with a very similar phenotype.

We now know that the onset of the pathological processes leading to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) may be 15–20 years before symptoms appear. This focuses attention on synaptic changes and the early role of tau, and less on the hallmark amyloid plaques (Aβ‎) and neurofibrillary tau tangles. Sensitive biomarkers to allow early screening will be essential. Familial autosomal AD is the result of mutations in one of three genes (APP, PSEN1, or PSEN2), each directly related to increased Aβ‎, and informs pathological mechanisms in common sporadic cases, but are also subject to influence by many risk genes

Mutations in HNF1B cause maturity onset diabetes of the young, renal cysts and diabetes syndrome, and some cases of familial juvenile hyperuricaemic nephropathy. They also account for a large proportion of developmental renal disorders included abnormalities detected antenatally. The various abnormalities associated with the gene may occur in isolation or together in the same patient.

Whereas in the past, a limited but expensive search through a selection of commercially available genes using Sanger sequencing was performed, there is now widespread availability of gene panels utilizing next-generation sequencing techniques. This is an efficient and powerful approach that may achieve a diagnosis in more than 30% of patients with a familial ataxia that remain undiagnosed.
