AbstractThe genetic contributions to early onset heart failure (HF) are incompletely understood. Genetic testing in advanced HF patients undergoing heart transplantation (HTx) may yield clinical benefits, but data is limited. We performed deep-coverage whole genome sequencing (WGS) in 102 Swedish HTx recipients. Gene lists were compiled through a systematic literature review. Variants were prioritized for pathogenicity and classified manually.

For many people, the humble goldfish is their first pet. Swimming in a tank in your house, it’s hard to imagine it’s much of a threat. But released into the Great Lakes, this iconic fish can imperil the fragile ecosystem of the largest freshwater system in the world. Christopher Booker has the story. Notice: Transcripts are machine and human generated and lightly edited for accuracy. They may contain errors. Geoff Bennett: For many people, it's their first pet, the humble goldfish.

12 November 2020Movement has shaped Earth as we know it but we’re only now starting to understand, says science journalist Sonia Shah. When people start moving, we call it a “migrant crisis.” It’s reflexive. And it happens regardless of whether host societies have the capacity to absorb migrants or whether migrants themselves and the societies they enter and leave would be better or worse off because of their movements.

Un topo può imparare una nuova canzone? La domanda può sembrare stravagante. Ma anche se gli esseri umani vivono accanto ai topi da almeno 15mila anni, pochi di noi li hanno sentiti cantare, perché lo fanno in frequenze che vanno oltre la gamma percepibile dall’orecchio umano. Da cuccioli, con le loro vocine acute indicano alle madri dove si trovano. Da adulti, cantano in ultrasuoni durante il corteggiamento.

AbstractLow heart rate variability (HRV) has been widely reported as a predictor for increased mortality. However, the molecular mechanisms are poorly understood. Therefore, this study aimed to identify novel genetic loci associated with HRV and assess the association of phenotypic HRV and genetically predicted HRV with mortality.
