    Abstract Purpose: Thyroid peroxidase (TPO) is essential for the synthesis of thyroid hormones. However, specific mutations render TPO antigenic and prone to autoimmune attacks leading to thyroid cancer, TPO deficiency, and congenital hypothyroidism (CH). Despite technological advancement, most experimental procedures cannot quickly identify the genetic causes of CH nor detect thyroid cancer in the early stages.
    Methods: We performed saturated computational mutagenesis to calculate the folding energy changes (∆∆G) caused by missense mutations and analyzed the mutations involved in post-translational modifications (PTMs).
    Results: Our results showed that the functional important missense mutations occurred in the heme peroxidase domain. Through computational saturation mutagenesis, we identified the TPO mutations in G393 and G348 affecting protein stability and PTMs. Our folding energy calculations revealed that seven of nine somatic thyroid cancer mutations destabilized TPO.
    Conclusion: These findings highlight the impact of these specific mutations on TPO stability, linking them to thyroid cancer and other genetic thyroid-related disorders. Our results show that computational mutagenesis of proteins provides a quick insight into rare mutations causing Mendelian disorders and cancers in humans.

    Abstract Recent technological advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS) provide unprecedented power to sequence personal genomes, characterize genomic landscapes, and detect a large number of sequence variants. The discovery of disease-causing variants in patients' genomes has dramatically changed our perspective on precision medicine. This chapter provides an overview of sequence variant detection and analysis in NGS study. We outline the general methods for identifying different types of sequence variants from NGS data. We summarize the common approaches for analyzing and visualizing casual variants associated with complex diseases on precision medicine informatics.

    Abstract COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2, is a systemic illness due to its multiorgan effects in patients. The disease has a detrimental impact on respiratory and cardiovascular systems. One early symptom of infection is anosmia or lack of smell; this implicates the involvement of the olfactory bulb in COVID-19 disease and provides a route into the central nervous system. However, little is known about how SARS-CoV-2 affects neurological or psychological symptoms. SARS-CoV-2 exploits host receptors that converge on pathways that impact psychological symptoms. This systemic review discusses the ways involved by coronavirus infection and their impact on mental health disorders. We begin by briefly introducing the history of coronaviruses, followed by an overview of the essential proteins to viral entry. Then, we discuss the downstream effects of viral entry on host proteins. Finally, we review the literature on host factors that are known to play critical roles in neuropsychiatric symptoms and mental diseases and discuss how COVID-19 could impact mental health globally. Our review details the host factors and pathways involved in the cellular mechanisms, such as systemic inflammation, that play a significant role in the development of neuropsychological symptoms stemming from COVID-19 infection.

    Abstract With the continued spread of COVID-19 globally, it is crucial to identify the potential risk or protective factors associated with COVID-19. Here, we performed genetic correlation analysis and Mendelian randomization analysis to examine genetic relationships between COVID-19 hospitalization and 405 health conditions and lifestyle factors in 456 422 participants from the UK Biobank. The genetic correlation analysis revealed 134 positive and 65 negative correlations, including those with intakes of a variety of dietary components. The MR analysis indicates that a set of body fat-related traits, maternal smoking around birth, basal metabolic rate, lymphocyte count, peripheral enthesopathies and allied syndromes, blood clots in the leg, and arthropathy are causal risk factors for severe COVID-19, while higher education attainment, physical activity, asthma, and never smoking status protect against the illness. Our findings have implications for risk stratification in patients with COVID-19 and the prevention of its severe outcomes.

    Abstract Neurexin-1 (NRXN1) is a membrane protein essential in synapse formation and cell signaling as a cell-adhesion molecule and cell-surface receptor. NRXN1 and its binding partner neuroligin have been associated with deficits in cognition. Recent genetics research has linked NRXN1 missense mutations to increased risk for brain disorders, including schizophrenia (SCZ) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Investigation of the structure-function relationship in NRXN1 has proven difficult due to a lack of the experimental full-length membrane protein structure. AlphaFold, a deep learning-based predictor, succeeds in high-quality protein structure prediction and offers a solution for membrane protein model construction. In the study, we applied a computational saturation mutagenesis method to analyze the systemic effects of missense mutations on protein functions in a human NRXN1 structure predicted from AlphaFold and an experimental
