False-positive results released by direct-to-consumer genetic tests highlight the impor... - 0 views

  •  
    Consumers beware: direct to consumer genetic testing found to have 40% false positive rates with misclassification of variants. This also includes the interpretative reports that often accompany the direct to consumer genetic test companies or included from 3rd parties. This could have huge implications in the use of Epigenetics, pharmacogenetics, and Cancer genetics.  These genetic testing needs medical interpretation not algorithms.

    Epigenetics: the interplay between genetics and the environment.  They influence each other.  This study shows how genetic SNPs influence the impact of lipid metabolism in overweight white people.  The genetic SNPs influenced how the individuals metabolized dietary fat intake.

  • Redox signaling tightly modulates the inflammatory response and oxidative stress has been reported in acute Covid-19
  • People at high risk are the elderly, patients suffering from metabolic syndrome such as obesity, or those suffering from chronic diseases such as cancer or inflammation
  • COVID-19 patients with severe disease have higher levels of oxidative stress markers and lower antioxidant levels
  • oxidative stress can activate the NLRP3 inflammasome, which is a protein complex that plays a key role in the cytokine storm
  • inflammation leads to the formation of ROS and RNS, while redox iMeBalance results in cellular damage, which in turn triggers an inflammatory response
  • persistently elevated mtROS triggers endothelial dysfunction and inflammation, which results in a vicious loop involving ROS, inflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction

  • MEB has been shown to inhibit SARS-Cov-2 replication in vitro
  • It has been shown that Covid-19-patients treated with MEB, have a significant reduction in hospital stay duration and mortality
  • MeB is an acceptor-donor molecule
  • MeB + can take a pair of electrons (of H atoms) and MeBH can release this pair easily, so that MeB is partially recycled like a catalyst
  • MeB acts as an electron bridge between a donor (FADH2, FMNH, NADH) and an acceptor (complex IV of ETC or oxygen itself)
  • As a coenzyme of pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH), alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) initiates the formation of acetyl-CoA to feed the TCA cycle
  • ALA enhances the catabolism of carbon. cycle and therefore may reduce the Warburg effect and consequently, lactate production
  • Methylene Blue plays a similar role after the TCA cycle, by carrying electrons to complex IV of the electron transport chain
  • Drugs such as lipoic acid and MeB, which target the metabolism, decrease the redox shift by increasing catabolism

  • short-term HFO introduces DNA methylation changes on a genome-wide scale in human skeletal muscle
  • These changes were only partly reversed after 6–8 weeks
  • The induction of DNA methylation changes after 5 days of HFO supports the growing awareness of DNA methylation as a dynamic signal that is possibly relevant to short-term day-to-day metabolic adaptations, including acute exercise

  • Diverging DNA methylation levels between elderly, but not young, genetically identical twins indicate that environmental exposures throughout life may permanently influence DNA methylation, suggesting some preservation of de novo DNA methylation in adults
  • our finding of a slow reversibility rate indicates the demethylation process may be somewhat impeded compared with the induction of methylation changes by diet, which could have implications for the preservation or build-up of CpG methylation over time
  • A slow reversibility of DNA methylation induced by carcinogenic agents has likewise been observed due to ingestion of high-fat diets in rodents
  • the relationship between DNA methylation and gene expression is not always straightforward

    How you respond to stress is a reflection of your genetics and environment.  The bodies ability to express genes, such as the glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor, impacts an individual's expression in the face of stress.  You have a genetic predisposition, but with poor methylation you end up with more depression in the presence of stress
