ABSTRACT Background The analysis of coverage depth in next‐generation sequencing data allows the detection gene dose alterations. We explore frequency such structural events a Spanish cohort sporadic PD cases. Methods Gene alterations were detected with eXome‐Hidden Markov Model (XHMM) software from resequencing available for 38 Mendelian and other risk loci 394 individuals (249 cases 145 controls) subsequently validated by quantitative PCR. Results identified 10 patients exon dosage PARK2,...

Patients with polypharmacy suffer from complex medical conditions involving a large healthcare burden. This study aimed to describe the characteristics and utilization of primary care (PC) hospital (HC) factors associated in chronic patients polypharmacy, stratifying by adjusted morbidity groups (AMG) risk level, sex age, comparing non-polypharmacy.Cross-sectional conducted Spanish basic area. Studied were those over 18 years diseases identified AMG tool Madrid electronic clinical record,...

Zinc is an essential micronutrient with a tightly regulated systemic and cellular homeostasis. In humans, some zinc transporter genes (ZTGs) have been previously reported as candidates for strong geographically restricted selective sweeps. However, since homeostasis maintained by the joint action of 24 ZTGs, other more subtle modes selection could also facilitated human adaptation to availability. Here, we studied whether complete set ZTGs are enriched signals positive in worldwide...

<title>Abstract</title> Although immunization through vaccination is one of the most successful public health interventions, actual coverage program has decreased rapidly over last years due to increased vaccine hesitancy. Cognitive biases have been shown play an important role in affecting In this study, we conducted a randomized-control trial (N = 2000, N 1000 from Spain and Bulgaria), where subjects were randomly assigned condition. The conditions differed by whether electronic Product...

SLC30A9 encodes a ubiquitously zinc transporter (ZnT9) and has been consistently suggested as candidate for positive selection in humans. However, no direct adaptive molecular phenotype demonstrated. Our results provide evidence directional operating two major complementary haplotypes Africa East Asia. These are associated with differential gene expression but also differ the Met50Val substitution (rs1047626) ZnT9, which we show is found homozygosis Denisovan genome displays accompanying...
