Iron Regulation and Inflammatory Phenotypes, Asha Kallianpur, MD, MPH, Associate Staff, GMI
» More

Close connections between iron metabolism and inflammation arose for the purpose of antimicrobial defense, but these relationships may also contribute to disease pathogenesis. The impact of iron-regulatory gene variation on inflammatory phenotypes may provide clues to the role of the “ferrome” in disordered inflammation, ranging from complications of infection to diseases of aging.

Integrative 'omics' reveal inflammatory gene network associated with Barrett esophagus/esophageal adenocarcinoma, Mohammed Orloff, PhD, Project Scientist, GMI
» More

Barrett esophagus and esophageal adenocarcinoma (BE/EAC) appear multigenic resulting from low-to-high penetrance predisposition-factors. We hypothesize that more than one type of germline genomic variation including extended tracts of homozygosity (TOH) and copy number variation (CNV) can harbor BE/EAC-associated loci. Using SNP data, genome-wide germline TOH and CNV analyses were performed and significant TOHs and CNVs examined for over- or under-representation in BE/EAC cases. Systematic integration of significant TOH and CNV regions with BE/EAC somatic-transcriptomes was used to prioritize candidate loci that belong to pathways important in BE-EAC development.  This integrative ‘omics’ approach allowed prioritiz ation of candidate genes that participate in pathways linking inflammation, cell proliferation and differentiation to the cell cycle .This finding may explain BE/EAC predisposition.
