Abstract
BACKGROUND This study used admixture mapping to prioritize the genetic regions associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) in African American (AA) individuals, followed by ancestry-aware regression analysis to fine-map the prioritized regions. METHODS We analyzed 10,271 individuals from 17 different AA datasets. We performed admixture mapping and meta-analyzed the results. We then used regression analysis, adjusting for local ancestry main effects and interactions with genotype, to refine the regions identified from admixture mapping. Finally, we leveraged in silico annotation and differential gene expression data to prioritize AD-related variants and genes. RESULTS Admixture mapping identified two genome-wide significant loci on chromosomes 17p13.2 (p = 2.2 × 10-5 ) and 18q21.33 (p = 1.2 × 10-5 ). Our fine mapping of the chromosome 17p13.2 and 18q21.33 regions revealed several interesting genes such as the MINK1, KIF1C, and BCL2. DISCUSSION Our ancestry-aware regression approach showed that AA individuals have a lower risk of AD if they inherited African ancestry admixture block at the 17p13.2 locus. HIGHLIGHTS We identified two genome-wide significant admixture mapping signals: on chromosomes 17p13.2 and 18q21.33, which are novel in African American (AA) populations. Our ancestry-aware regression approach showed that AA individuals have a lower risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) if they inherited African ancestry admixture block at the 17p13.2 locus. We found that the overall proportion of African ancestry does not differ between the cases and controls that suggest African genetic ancestry alone is not likely to explain the AD prevalence difference between AA and non-Hispanic White populations.

Abstract
Cardiovascular system involvements have been frequently reported in hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS). Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) and aortic root dilatation are included in the 2017 international classification criteria for hEDS. Different studies have found conflicting results regarding the significance of cardiac involvement in hEDS patients. We conducted a retrospective review of cardiac involvement in patients diagnosed with hEDS based on the 2017 International diagnostic criteria to provide further evidence toward more defined and reliable diagnostic criteria and recommended cardiac surveillance. A total of 75 hEDS patients with at least one diagnostic cardiac evaluation were included in the study. The most common reported cardiovascular complaints were lightheadedness (80.6%), followed by palpitations (77.6%), fainting (44.8%), and chest pain (32.8%). Of the 62 echocardiogram reports, 57 (91.9%) showed trace/trivial to mild valvular insufficiency, and 13 (21%) had additional abnormalities such as grade I diastolic dysfunction, mild aortic sclerosis, and trivial or small pericardial effusion. Of the 60 electrocardiograms (ECG) reports, 39 (65%) were normal, and 21 (35%) reported minor abnormalities or normal variants. Even though many hEDS patients in our cohort experienced cardiac symptoms, the presence of a significant cardiac abnormality was very low.

Abstract
Most Alzheimer's disease (AD)-associated genetic variants do not change protein coding sequence and thus likely exert their effects through regulatory mechanisms. RNA editing, the post-transcriptional modification of RNA bases, is a regulatory feature that is altered in AD patients that differs across ancestral backgrounds. Editing QTLs (edQTLs) are DNA variants that influence the level of RNA editing at a specific site. To study the relationship of DNA variants genome-wide, and particularly in AD-associated loci, with RNA editing, we performed edQTL analyses in self-reported individuals of African American (AF) or White (EU) race with corresponding global genetic ancestry averaging 82.2% African ancestry (AF) and 96.8% European global ancestry (EU) in the two groups, respectively. We used whole-genome genotyping array and RNA sequencing data from peripheral blood of 216 AD cases and 212 age-matched, cognitively intact controls. We identified 2144 edQTLs in AF and 3579 in EU, of which 1236 were found in both groups. Among these, edQTLs in linkage disequilibrium (r2 > 0.5) with AD-associated genetic variants in the SORL1, SPI1 and HLA-DRB1 loci were associated with sites that were differentially edited between AD cases and controls. While there is some shared RNA editing regulatory architecture, most edQTLs had distinct effects on the rate of RNA editing in different ancestral populations suggesting a complex architecture of RNA editing regulation. Altered RNA editing may be one possible mechanism for the functional effect of AD-associated variants and may contribute to observed differences in the genetic etiology of AD between ancestries.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4 confers less risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD) in carriers with African local genomic ancestry (ALA) than APOE ε4 carriers with European local ancestry (ELA). Cell type specific transcriptional variation between the two local ancestries (LAs) could contribute to this disease risk differences. METHODS Single-nucleus RNA sequencing was performed on frozen frontal cortex of homozygous APOE ε4/ε4 AD patients: seven with ELA, four with ALA. RESULTS A total of 60,908 nuclei were sequenced. Within the LA region (chr19:44-46Mb), APOE was the gene most differentially expressed, with ELA carriers having significantly more expression (overall P < 1.8E-317 ) in 24 of 32 cell clusters. The transcriptome of one astrocyte cluster, with high APOE ε4 expression and specific to ELA, is suggestive of A1 reactive astrocytes. DISCUSSION AD patients with ELA expressed significantly greater levels of APOE than ALA APOE ε4 carriers. These differences in APOE expression could contribute to the reduced risk for AD seen in African APOE ε4 carriers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Significant work has identified genetic variants conferring risk and protection for Alzheimer's disease (AD), but functional effects of these variants is lacking, particularly in under-represented ancestral populations. Expression studies performed in easily accessible tissue, such as whole blood, can recapitulate some transcriptional changes occurring in brain and help to identify mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative processes. OBJECTIVE We aimed to identify transcriptional differences between AD cases and controls in a cohort of diverse ancestry. METHODS We analyzed the protein coding transcriptome using RNA sequencing from peripheral blood collected from 234 African American (AA) (115 AD, 119 controls) and 240 non-Hispanic Whites (NHW) (121 AD, 119 controls). To identify case-control differentially expressed genes and pathways, we performed stratified, joint, and interaction analyses using linear regression models within and across ancestral groups followed by pathway and gene set enrichment analyses. RESULTS Overall, we identified 418 (291 upregulated, 127 downregulated) and 488 genes (352 upregulated, 136 downregulated) differentially expressed in the AA and NHW datasets, respectively, with only 16 genes commonly differentially expressed in both ancestral groups. Joint analyses provided greater power to detect case-control differences and identified 1,102 differentially expressed genes between cases and controls (812 upregulated, 290 downregulated). Interaction analysis identified only 27 genes with different effects in AA compared to NHW. Pathway and gene-set enrichment analyses revealed differences in immune response-related pathways that were enriched across the analyses despite different underlying gene sets. CONCLUSION These results support the hypothesis of converging underlying pathophysiological processes in AD across ancestral groups.

Abstract
Little is known about the post-transcriptional mechanisms that modulate the genetic effects in the molecular pathways underlying Alzheimer disease (AD), and even less is known about how these changes might differ across diverse populations. RNA editing, the process that alters individual bases of RNA, may contribute to AD pathogenesis due to its roles in neuronal development and immune regulation. Here, we pursued one of the first transcriptome-wide RNA editing studies in AD by examining RNA sequencing data from individuals of both African-American (AA) and non-Hispanic White (NHW) ethnicities. Whole transcriptome RNA sequencing and RNA editing analysis were performed on peripheral blood specimens from 216 AD cases (105 AA, 111 NHW) and 212 gender matched controls (105 AA, 107 NHW). 449 positions in 254 genes and 723 positions in 371 genes were differentially edited in AA and NHW, respectively. While most differentially edited sites localized to different genes in AA and NHW populations, these events converged on the same pathways across both ethnicities, especially endocytic and inflammatory response pathways. Furthermore, these differentially edited sites were preferentially predicted to disrupt miRNA binding and induce nonsynonymous coding changes in genes previously associated with AD in molecular studies, including PAFAH1B2 and HNRNPA1. These findings suggest RNA editing is an important post-transcriptional regulatory program in AD pathogenesis.

Abstract
We report four individuals from two unrelated consanguineous families with 3MC syndrome. In the first family, chromosome microarray data revealed that the two affected sisters, born to first-cousin parents, shared a unique homozygous C-terminal deletion in the COLEC11 gene. Two affected brothers from a second family, also born to first-cousin parents, shared a region of homozygosity that included the second gene known to cause the 3MC syndrome, MASP1. We discuss the diagnostic approach of craniofacial disorders born to consanguineous parents and highlight a literature search and reference a helpful dysmorphology solution powered by FDNA (Facial Dysmorphology Novel Analysis) technology.
