The long noncoding RNA SCHLAP1 has been reported to act by depleting the SWI/SNF complex from genomic sites, but new data show that SWI/SNF remains localized to chromatin in the presence of SCHLAP1, suggesting that SCHLAP1 may act independently of SWI/SNF.
In vivo analysis of pairwise combinations of tumor suppressor losses using a barcode-based assay in mice identifies unpredicted genetic interactions and shows that the effects of tumor suppressor alterations can be context-dependent.
The clinical phenotype associated with BRD4 haploinsufficiency overlaps with Cornelia de Lange syndrome, which is often caused by mutations in NIPBL. The authors show that BRD4 and NIPBL physically interact and co-bind at super-enhancers.
Individuals from a Greenlandic Inuit population with homozygous loss-of-function variants in ADCY3 (adenylate cyclase 3) have increased risk for obesity and type 2 diabetes. Carriers of rare ADCY3 variants in trans-ancestry populations also show increased association with type 2 diabetes.
