Abstract
Copy number variation (CNV) is an important member of genetic structural variation that exists widely in animal genomes and is between 50 bp and several Mb in length and widely used in research's of animal genetics and breeding. ZNF679 is an important transcription factor, which has been found association with diseases in the human genome many times. This gene has also been found to be associated with cattle growth traits in previous re-sequencing studies. We tested the CNVs of the ZNF679 gene in 809 individuals from 7 Chinese cattle breeds and tested the association between the CNVs and growth traits in 552 individuals from 5 breeds. The results demonstrated the correlation the correlation between the CNVs of the ZNF679 gene and some Chinese cattle (QC cattle and XN cattle) growth traits. To sum up, this study indicated that ZNF679-CNVs can be used as a candidate gene for molecular genetic marker-assisted selection breeding for cattle growth traits to contribute to the development of genetic improvement of Chinese cattle.

Abstract
Naringenin (NGN) is a natural flavonoid that exerts antiinflammatory, antioxidant and cardioprotective effects. The present study investigated the effects of NGN on left ventricular hypertrophy in rats with NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME)-induced hypertension, and sought to determine the underlying mechanism of action. The rats received the following by gavage daily for 56 days: L-NAME (50 mg/kg/day) + NGN (100 mg/kg/day), L-NAME (50 mg/kg/day) + saline, or saline + saline. Blood pressure, heart rate and body weight were recorded. Left ventricular hypertrophy was assessed by echocardiography and hematoxylin-eosin staining. Angiotensin II (Ang II) and angiotensin-converting enzyme 1 (ACE1), which serve a pivotal role in cardiac remodeling, were evaluated by ELISA, reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blot analysis. NGN had no significant effect on body weight, heart rate or blood pressure. The extent of left ventricular hypertrophy in the L-NAME + NGN group was lower than in the L-NAME + saline group on day 56. NGN decreased Ang II and ACE1 protein levels in myocardial tissues. In conclusion, Ang II and ACE1 expression in cardiac tissue was inhibited by NGN in L-NAME-treated rats, which may contribute to the inhibitory effects of NGN on left ventricular hypertrophy that is induced by pressure overload.

Abstract
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the most widely recognised cause of irreversible vision loss and previous studies have suggested that the advancement of wet AMD is influenced by both modifiable and non-modifiable elements. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) and copy number of variations (CNVs) have been associated with AMD in various populations, however the results are conflicting. Our aim is to determine the CNVs of Complement Factor H-Related genes among Malaysian subjects with wet AMD. 130 patients with wet AMD and 120 healthy controls were included in this research. DNA was extracted from all subjects and CNVs of CFH, CFHR1 and CFHR3 genes; determined using quantitative real-time PCR and were compared between the two groups. A consistent association was observed between CFH gene and wet AMD susceptibility (P < 0.05). The age-adjusted data suggests a possible increased risk of AMD disease (P < 0.05). No correlation was detected between CNVs and wet AMD for the remaining genes after we compared the frequencies of mean for that gene. An association was observed between CFH CNVs and wet AMD in the Malaysian population, however, strong evidence of a link with wet AMD was not found. Further investigative studies are needed using larger sample sizes to elucidate the role of CNVs in AMD pathogenesis.

Abstract
Pathological enlargement of the heart, represented by hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), occurs in response to many genetic and non-genetic factors. The clinical course of cardiac hypertrophy is remarkably variable, ranging from lifelong absence of symptoms to rapidly declining heart function and sudden cardiac death (SCD). Unbiased omics studies have begun to provide a glimpse into the molecular framework underpinning altered mechanotransduction, mitochondrial energetics, oxidative stress, and extracellular matrix in the heart undergoing physiological and pathological hypertrophy. Omics analyses indicate that post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression plays an overriding role in the normal and diseased heart. Studies to date highlight a need for more effective bioinformatics to better integrate patient omics data with their comprehensive clinical histories.

Abstract
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a primary disease of the cardiac muscle that occurs mainly due to mutations (>1,400 variants) in genes encoding for the cardiac sarcomere. HCM, the most common familial form of cardiomyopathy, affecting one in every 500 people in the general population, is typically inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, and presents variable expressivity and age-related penetrance. Due to the morphological and pathological heterogeneity of the disease, the appearance and progression of symptoms is not straightforward. Most HCM patients are asymptomatic, but up to 25% develop significant symptoms, including chest pain and sudden cardiac death. Sudden cardiac death is a dramatic event, since it occurs without warning and mainly in younger people, including trained athletes. Molecular diagnosis of HCM is of the outmost importance, since it may allow detection of subjects carrying mutations on HCM-associated genes before development of clinical symptoms of HCM. However, due to the genetic heterogeneity of HCM, molecular diagnosis is difficult. Currently, there are mainly four techniques used for molecular diagnosis of HCM, including Sanger sequencing, high resolution melting, mutation detection using DNA arrays, and next-generation sequencing techniques. Application of these methods has proven successful for identification of mutations on HCM-related genes. This review summarizes the features of these technologies, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses. Furthermore, current therapeutics for HCM patients are correlated with clinically observed phenotypes and are based on the alleviation of symptoms. This is mainly due to insufficient knowledge on the mechanisms involved in the onset of HCM. Tissue engineering alongside regenerative medicine coupled with nanotherapeutics may allow fulfillment of those gaps, together with screening of novel therapeutic drugs and target delivery systems.

Abstract
The glyoxalase I gene GLO1 is a hotspot for copy number variation in the human and mouse genomes. The additional copies are often functional, giving rise to 2–4-fold increased glyoxalase I expression and activity. The prevalence of GLO1 copy number increase in the human population appears to be approximately 2% and may be linked to a risk of obesity, diabetes and aging. Increased GLO1 copy number has been found in human tumour cell lines and primary human tumours. The minimum common copy number increase region was approximately 1 Mb and it contained GLO1 and seven other genes. The increased copy number was generally functional, being associated with increased glyoxalase I protein and multidrug resistance in cancer chemotherapy. Glo1 duplication in the mouse genome is found within approximately 0.5 Mb of duplicated DNA. It was claimed to be linked to anxiety phenotypes, but other related discordant findings have doubted the association with glyoxalase I and further investigation is required.
