Abstract:
... Although several studies have shown an association between plasma homocysteine (Hcy) levels and atrial fibrillation (AF), the causality remains unclear. We undertook a Mendelian randomization (MR) study to investigate the causal association between Hcy and AF.Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) which genome-wide significantly associated with plasma Hcy levels were obtained from a genome-wide me ...

Abstract:
... Ribosome biogenesis, which takes place mainly in the nucleolus, involves coordinated expression of pre-ribosomal RNAs (pre-rRNAs) and ribosomal proteins, pre-rRNA processing, and subunit assembly with the aid of numerous assembly factors. Our previous study showed that the Arabidopsis thaliana protein arginine methyltransferase AtPRMT3 regulates pre-rRNA processing; however, the underlying molecul ...
