    Abstract As we look so different, our genomic sequences vary enormously. The differences in our genome, genetic variations, have played very significant roles in medical research and have contributed to improvement of medical managements in the last 2-3 decades. Genetic variations include germline variations, somatic mutations, and diversities in receptor genes of rearranged immune cells, T cells and B cells. Germline variants are in some cases causative of genetic diseases, are associated with the risk of various diseases, and also affect drug efficacies or adverse events. Some somatic mutations are causative of tumor development. Recent DNA sequencing technologies allow us to perform single-cell analysis or detailed repertoire analysis of B and T cells. It is critically important to investigate temporal changes in immune environment in various anatomical regions in the next one to two decades. In this review article, we would like to introduce the roles of genetic variations in medical fields in the past, at present and in the future.

    Abstract Spatial transcriptomics is an emerging technology requiring costly reagents and considerable skills, limiting the identification of transcriptional markers related to histology. Here, we show that predicted spatial gene-expression in unmeasured regions and tissues can enhance biologists' histological interpretations. We developed the Deep learning model for Spatial gene Clusters and Expression, DeepSpaCE, and confirmed its performance using the spatial-transcriptome profiles and immunohistochemistry images of consecutive human breast cancer tissue sections. For example, the predicted expression patterns of SPARC, an invasion marker, highlighted a small tumor-invasion region difficult to identify using raw spatial transcriptome data alone because of a lack of measurements. We further developed semi-supervised DeepSpaCE using unlabeled histology images and increased the imputation accuracy of consecutive sections, enhancing applicability for a small sample size. Our method enables users to derive hidden histological characters via spatial transcriptome and gene annotations, leading to accelerated biological discoveries without additional experiments.

    Abstract Mosaic chromosomal alterations (mCAs) are frequently observed in cancer cells and are regarded as one of the common features of cancers. Strikingly, accumulating studies demonstrated that mCAs are also prevalent in elderly individuals without cancer, implying mCA could be a feature of aging and not necessarily a cancerous state. However, the genetic basis of mCA has been mostly unknown. Recent studies of autosomal mCA based on biobank-scale datasets, including UK Biobank and Biobank Japan, provided a glimpse into the underlying genetic mechanism. In this concise review, we briefly introduced mCA, its link with cancer and aging, and the emerging genetic mechanisms of this phenomenon. We highlighted the following aspects: (1) the interplay between somatic and inherited germline mutations in generating mosaicism; (2) monogenic and polygenic architectures of mCA; and (3) population-specific profiles of mCA. We provided a future perspective emphasizing the need to understand the connection between mCA and other characteristics of aging, in particular, the epigenetic and immunologic features.

    Abstract Genomic structural variation (SV) affects genetic and phenotypic characteristics in diverse organisms, but the lack of reliable methods to detect SV has hindered genetic analysis. We developed a computational algorithm (MOPline) that includes missing call recovery combined with high-confidence SV call selection and genotyping using short-read whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data. Using 3,672 high-coverage WGS datasets, MOPline stably detected ∼16,000 SVs per individual, which is over ∼1.7-3.3-fold higher than previous large-scale projects while exhibiting a comparable level of statistical quality metrics. We imputed SVs from 181,622 Japanese individuals for 42 diseases and 60 quantitative traits. A genome-wide association study with the imputed SVs revealed 41 top-ranked or nearly top-ranked genome-wide significant SVs, including 8 exonic SVs with 5 novel associations and enriched mobile element insertions. This study demonstrates that short-read WGS data can be used to identify rare and common SVs associated with a variety of traits.

    Abstract Resistant hypertension is defined as uncontrolled blood pressure (BP) despite the use of three or more antihypertensive drugs of different classes. Although genetic factors may greatly contribute to hypertension with resistance to multiple drug classes, more than for general hypertension, its pathogenesis remains unknown. To reveal the genetic background of resistant hypertension, we categorized 32,239 patients whose data were obtained from the BioBank Japan Project, by prescription of 7 classes of antihypertensive drugs and performed genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Our GWAS identified four loci with significant association (P < 5 × 10

    Abstract Introduction: Stroke is a leading cause of death and the primary cause of adult-acquired disability. Patients with cardiogenic embolic stroke also have higher mortality and recurrence rates than patients with other stroke subtypes. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a major risk factor for cerebral infarction (CI). The large-scale study identified 32 loci in the MEGASTROKE study. However, few studies have attempted to identify novel stroke risk variants in patients with a history of AF. Our overall aim was to identify novel CI risk variants in AF cases and explore whether their associations with the CI risk were affected by the CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scores.
    Methods: We performed association study with CI using 8181 AF cases in previous genome-wide association study (GWAS) and imputation data without controls. We classified AF cases into those with or without past history of CI, and the genetic associations with the CI risk were examined.
    Results: GWAS identified eight associated loci. The generated genetic risk score (GRS) for the eight loci was significantly associated with CI in patients with AF (1.46 × 10
    Conclusion: We identified eight genetic variants that were potentially associated with the risk of CI of AF cases and the significant GRS, whose associations were independent of the CHADS2 or CHA2DS2-VASc score.
