Abstract
OBJECTIVE Anti-citrullinated peptide antibody (ACPA) and rheumatoid factor (RF) are markers to rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Smoking and shared epitope (SE) in HLA-DRB1 are associated with the production of these autoantibodies in RA. Detailed distribution and characterization of ACPA and RF in the general population have remained unclear. We aimed to evaluate positivity of ACPA and RF in a general Japanese population and to detect correlates, including genetic components. METHODS ACPA and RF were quantified in 9,804 Japanese volunteers ages 30-75 years. Logistic regression analyses were performed to evaluate the effects of candidates of correlates on the autoantibody positivity. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) was performed using 394,239 single nucleotide polymorphisms for 3,170 participants, and HLA-DRB1 alleles were imputed based on the GWAS data. RESULTS A total of 1.7% and 6.4% of subjects were positive for ACPA and RF, respectively, and the 2 markers showed a significant correlation (P = 2.0 × 10(-23) ). Old age was associated with ACPA positivity (P = 0.00062). Sex, smoking, SE, and other candidates of correlates did not have significant effects. Interaction between smoking and SE positivity was not apparent, but smoking showed a significant association with high levels of ACPA (P = 0.0019). CONCLUSION ACPA and RF could be detected in 1.7% and 6.4% of the Japanese adult population without RA, respectively. ACPA and RF were suggested to share mechanisms even in healthy populations. Old age was associated with increasing ACPA positivity. While positivity of ACPA and RF was not associated with SE and smoking, an association between high ACPA and smoking was observed.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES To examine relationships among gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms, dietary behaviors, and sleep duration in the general population. DESIGN Cross-sectional. SETTING Community-based. PARTICIPANTS There were 9,643 participants selected from the general population (54 ± 13 y). INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS Sleep duration, sleep habits, and unfavorable dietary behaviors of each participant were assessed with a structured questionnaire. Participants were categorized into five groups according to their sleep duration: less than 5 h, 5 to less than 6 h, 6 to less than 7 h, 7 to less than 8 h, and 8 or more h per day. GERD was evaluated using the Frequency Scale for the Symptoms of GERD (FSSG) and participants having an FSSG score of 8 or more or those under treatment of GERD were defined as having GERD. Trend analysis showed that both the FSSG score and the number of unfavorable dietary habits increased with decreasing sleep duration. Further, multiple logistic regression analysis showed that both the presence of GERD (odds ratio = 1.19, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.07-1.32) and the number of unfavorable dietary behaviors (odds ratio = 1.19, 95% CI = 1.13-1.26) were independent and potent factors to identify participants with short sleep duration even after controlling for other confounding factors. CONCLUSION The current study showed that both GERD symptoms and unfavorable dietary behaviors were significant correlates of short sleep duration independently of each other in a large sample from the general population.

Abstract
PURPOSE We investigated the association between refractive error in a Japanese population and myopia-related genes identified in two recent large-scale genome-wide association studies. METHODS Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 51 genes that were reported by the Consortium for Refractive Error and Myopia and/or the 23andMe database were genotyped in 3712 healthy Japanese volunteers from the Nagahama Study using HumanHap610K Quad, HumanOmni2.5M, and/or HumanExome Arrays. To evaluate the association between refractive error and recently identified myopia-related genes, we used three approaches to perform quantitative trait locus analyses of mean refractive error in both eyes of the participants: per-SNP, gene-based top-SNP, and gene-based all-SNP analyses. Association plots of successfully replicated genes also were investigated. RESULTS In our per-SNP analysis, eight myopia gene associations were replicated successfully: GJD2, RASGRF1, BICC1, KCNQ5, CD55, CYP26A1, LRRC4C, and B4GALNT2.Seven additional gene associations were replicated in our gene-based analyses: GRIA4, BMP2, QKI, BMP4, SFRP1, SH3GL2, and EHBP1L1. The signal strength of the reported SNPs and their tagging SNPs increased after considering different linkage disequilibrium patterns across ethnicities. Although two previous studies suggested strong associations between PRSS56, LAMA2, TOX, and RDH5 and myopia, we could not replicate these results. CONCLUSIONS Our results confirmed the significance of the myopia-related genes reported previously and suggested that gene-based replication analyses are more effective than per-SNP analyses. Our comparison with two previous studies suggested that BMP3 SNPs cause myopia primarily in Caucasian populations, while they may exhibit protective effects in Asian populations.

Abstract
We present constraints on models containing non-standard-model values for the spin J and parity P of the Higgs boson H in up to 9.7 fb(-1) of pp collisions at sqrt[s] = 1.96 TeV collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. These are the first studies of Higgs boson J(P) with fermions in the final state. In the ZH → ℓℓbb, WH → ℓνbb, and ZH → ννbb final states, we compare the standard model (SM) Higgs boson prediction, J(P) = 0(+), with two alternative hypotheses, J(P) = 0(-) and J(P) = 2(+). We use a likelihood ratio to quantify the degree to which our data are incompatible with non-SM J(P) predictions for a range of possible production rates. Assuming that the production rate in the signal models considered is equal to the SM prediction, we reject the J(P) = 0(-) and J(P) = 2(+) hypotheses at the 97.6% CL and at the 99.0% CL, respectively. The expected exclusion sensitivity for a J(P) = 0(-) (J(P) = 2(+)) state is at the 99.86% (99.94%) CL. Under the hypothesis that our data are the result of a combination of the SM-like Higgs boson and either a J(P) = 0(-) or a J(P) = 2(+) signal, we exclude a J(P) = 0(-) fraction above 0.80 and a J(P) = 2(+) fraction above 0.67 at the 95% CL. The expected exclusion covers J(P) = 0(-) (J(P) = 2(+)) fractions above 0.54 (0.47).

Abstract
We have performed thermoelectric measurements of benzenedithiol (BDT) and C60 molecules with Ni and Au electrodes using a home-built scanning tunneling microscope. The thermopower of C60 was negative for both Ni and Au electrodes, indicating the transport of carriers through the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital in both cases, as was expected from the work functions. On the other hand, the Ni-BDT-Ni junctions exhibited a negative thermopower, whereas the Au-BDT-Au junctions exhibited a positive thermopower. First-principle calculations revealed that the negative thermopower of Ni-BDT-Ni junctions is due to the spin-split hybridized states generated by the highest occupied molecular orbital of BDT coupled with s- and d-states of the Ni electrode.

Abstract
Central blood pressure (BP) has been suggested to be a better predictor of cardiovascular disease risk than brachial BP. Given that central BP and arterial waveform are both influenced by insulin resistance, major initiators of insulin resistance, such as serum-free fatty acid (FFA), are suspected of potentially being involved in central hemodynamics. To confirm that insulin signaling is an important modulator of central hemodynamics, we investigated this hypothesis in a large-scale general population. Brachial BP and radial arterial waveform were measured simultaneously in 9393 middle-aged to elderly individuals. The augmentation index was calculated from the radial waveform as the ratio of the height of the late systolic peak to that of the first peak. Central systolic BP was defined as the absolute pressure of the late systolic peak of the waveform. Differences in central and brachial pulse pressure (PP) were considered to represent PP amplification. PP amplification differed significantly among serum FFA level quartiles (Q1, 7.8±5.3; Q2, 8.6±5.0; Q3, 9.3±5.7; Q4, 10.3±6.1 mm Hg; P<0.001), and the maximum difference in combination with diabetes mellitus status was 4.9 mm Hg. Multivariate analysis adjusted for major covariates indicated that higher serum FFA was an independent determinant for higher PP amplification (β=0.145, P<0.001) and lower augmentation index (β=-0.122, P<0.001) and central systolic BP (β=-0.044, P<0.001), whereas the association between FFA and PP amplification significantly decreased (β=0.022, P<0.001) after further adjustment for augmentation index. Serum FFA is an overlooked factor favorably influencing central hemodynamics. A low-magnitude reflection pressure wave might be involved in this paradoxical relationship.

Abstract
We performed a nationwide study to determine the distributions of the signs and clinical markers of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and identify any patterns in their distributions to allow patient subclassification. We obtained 256,999 patient-year records describing the disease status of SLE patients from 2003 to 2010. Of these, 14,779 involved patients diagnosed within the last year, and 242,220 involved patients being followed up. Along with basic descriptive statistics, we analyzed the effects of sex, age and disease duration on the frequencies of signs in the first year and follow-up years. The patients and major signs were clustered using the Ward method. The female patients were younger at onset. Renal involvement and discoid eczema were more frequent in males, whereas arthritis, photosensitivity and cytopenia were less. Autoantibody production and malar rash were positively associated with young age, and serositis and arthritis were negatively associated. Photosensitivity was positively associated with a long disease duration, and autoantibody production, serositis and cytopenia were negatively associated. The SLE patients were clustered into subgroups, as were the major signs. We identified differences in SLE clinical features according to sex, age and disease duration. Subgroups of SLE patients and the major signs of SLE exist.

Abstract
We measure the mass of the top quark in lepton+jets final states using the full sample of pp collision data collected by the D0 experiment in Run II of the Fermilab Tevatron Collider at sqrt[s] = 1.96 TeV, corresponding to 9.7 fb(-1) of integrated luminosity. We use a matrix element technique that calculates the probabilities for each event to result from tt production or background. The overall jet energy scale is constrained in situ by the mass of the W boson. We measure m(t) = 174.98 ± 0.76 GeV. This constitutes the most precise single measurement of the top-quark mass.

Abstract
Profiles of sequence variants that influence gene transcription are very important for understanding mechanisms that affect phenotypic variation and disease susceptibility. Using genotypes at 1.4 million SNPs and a comprehensive transcriptional profile of 15,454 coding genes and 6,113 lincRNA genes obtained from peripheral blood cells of 298 Japanese individuals, we mapped expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs). We identified 3,804 cis-eQTLs (within 500 kb from target genes) and 165 trans-eQTLs (>500 kb away or on different chromosomes). Cis-eQTLs were often located in transcribed or adjacent regions of genes; among these regions, 5' untranslated regions and 5' flanking regions had the largest effects. Epigenetic evidence for regulatory potential accumulated in public databases explained the magnitude of the effects of our eQTLs. Cis-eQTLs were often located near the respective target genes, if not within genes. Large effect sizes were observed with eQTLs near target genes, and effect sizes were obviously attenuated as the eQTL distance from the gene increased. Using a very stringent significance threshold, we identified 165 large-effect trans-eQTLs. We used our eQTL map to assess 8,069 disease-associated SNPs identified in 1,436 genome-wide association studies (GWAS). We identified genes that might be truly causative, but GWAS might have failed to identify for 148 out of the GWAS-identified SNPs; for example, TUFM (P = 3.3E-48) was identified for inflammatory bowel disease (early onset); ZFP90 (P = 4.4E-34) for ulcerative colitis; and IDUA (P = 2.2E-11) for Parkinson's disease. We identified four genes (P<2.0E-14) that might be related to three diseases and two hematological traits; each expression is regulated by trans-eQTLs on a different chromosome than the gene.

Abstract
We report the first observation of single-top-quark production in the s channel through the combination of the CDF and D0 measurements of the cross section in proton-antiproton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV. The data correspond to total integrated luminosities of up to 9.7 fb(-1) per experiment. The measured cross section is σ(s) = 1.29(-0.24)(+0.26) pb. The probability of observing a statistical fluctuation of the background to a cross section of the observed size or larger is 1.8 × 10(-10), corresponding to a significance of 6.3 standard deviations for the presence of an s-channel contribution to the production of single-top quarks.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a useful marker for prostate cancer (PCa) and is widely used for screening of PCa. Previous studies have shown that genetic components influence the levels of PSA, and some of these genetic components would lead to better diagnostic sensitivity and specificity to PCa. However, genetic studies for PSA from Asian countries are limited. Our aim was to identify genetic components influencing PSA levels in the Japanese population using genome-wide association study (GWAS) and to analyse whether genetic components would lead to better screening abilities of PCa. METHODS We performed a GWAS comprising 1086 male subjects using 303 283 single nucleotide proteins, followed by a replication study of 1302 subjects. PSA levels were quantified by chemiluminescence immunoassay method. Quantitative linear regression analysis was performed to assess genetic components of PSA levels. A total of 413 subjects with prostate biopsies were analysed to examine whether genetic determinants would improve diagnostic ability. RESULTS Rs16856139 in SLC45A3, the same region as the previous Chinese study, showed an overall significant association with PSA levels (p=2.4×10(-11)) along with rs1058205 in KLK3. In silico analysis revealed significant association between rs16856139 and expression of SLC45A3. Genetic scores of PSA showed a dose-dependent decrease of area under curve (AUC) of PCa and successfully subgrouped the individuals with significantly different AUC (p≤0.0097). CONCLUSIONS Rs16856139, associated with the expression of SLC45A3, is significantly associated with the levels of PSA in the Japanese population. Classification of subjects based on PSA genetic determinants would improve screening ability of PSA to detect PCa.

Abstract
Pegylated interferon (Peg-IFN) plus ribavirin combination therapy is effective in patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and normal alanine aminotransferase levels (NALT). However, it remains unclear whether the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) incidence is actually reduced in virological responders. In this study, HCC incidence was examined for 809 patients with NALT (ALT ≤ 40 IU/mL) treated with Peg-IFN alpha-2b and ribavirin for a mean observation period of 36.2 ± 16.5 months. The risk factors for HCC incidence were analysed by Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazards model. On multivariate analysis among NALT patients, the risk of HCC incidence was significantly reduced in patients with sustained virological response (SVR) or relapse compared with those showing nonresponse (NR) (SVR vs NR, hazard ratio (HR): 0.16, P = 0.009, relapse vs NR, HR: 0.11, P = 0.037). Other risk factors were older age (≥65 years vs <60 years, HR: 6.0, P = 0.032, 60-64 vs <60 years, HR: 3.2, P = 0.212) and male gender (HR: 3.9, P = 0.031). Among 176 patients with PNALT (ALT ≤ 30 IU/mL), only one patient developed HCC and no significant risk factors associated with HCC development were found. In conclusion, antiviral therapy for NALT patients with HCV infection can lower the HCC incidence in responders, particularly for aged and male patients. The indication of antiviral therapy for PNALT (ALT ≤ 30 IU/mL) patients should be carefully determined.

Abstract
We present a measurement of the W boson production charge asymmetry in pp̄→W+X→eν+X events at a center of mass energy of 1.96 TeV, using 9.7 fb-1 of integrated luminosity collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The neutrino longitudinal momentum is determined by using a neutrino weighting method, and the asymmetry is measured as a function of the W boson rapidity. The measurement extends over wider electron pseudorapidity region than previous results and is the most precise to date, allowing for precise determination of proton parton distribution functions in global fits.

Abstract
PURPOSE To study the three-dimensional morphologic features of retinal arteriovenous crossings with optical coherence tomography (OCT) and elucidate the vascular changes associated with crossing phenomena as seen on fundus photographs. METHODS We examined 150 consecutive eyes with no ocular disease. In each eye, fundus photographs were taken, and one randomly selected arteriovenous crossing was examined by OCT. The OCT analysis was performed by using sequential thin sections along and perpendicular to the retinal vessels. RESULTS The OCT analysis of these arteriovenous crossings showed that the veins abruptly changed their directions to pass the artery and frequently displayed focal luminal narrowing with no compression or flattening. The OCT measurements revealed that the veins narrowed by 21.0% ± 12.9% at the crossings. The degree of narrowing correlated positively with the diameter of the crossing arteries (r = 0.419, P < 0.001). On fundus photographs, crossing phenomena were observed in 103 of the 150 selected crossings. Venous narrowing measured by OCT was more severe in eyes with crossing phenomena on fundus photographs (P < 0.001). Four types of crossing phenomena were observed: concealment, tapering, deflection, and humping. Venous narrowing rates were similar among all four types. Although the subjects with deflection or humping phenomena were more likely to suffer from hypertension, the mean venous narrowing rate at such crossings was similar to that observed with the other crossing phenomena. CONCLUSIONS Arteriovenous crossings exhibited focal narrowing of the venous lumen with no compression or flattening. Increased venous narrowing and larger arteries were observed at crossings with crossing phenomena.

Abstract
We present a measurement of the direct CP-violating charge asymmetry in Ds+ → ϕ π(±) decays where the ϕ meson decays to K(+)K(-), using the full Run II data set with an integrated luminosity of 10.4 fb-1 of proton-antiproton collisions collected using the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The normalized difference A(CP) in the yield of D(s)(+) and D(s)(-) mesons in these decays is measured by fitting the difference between their reconstructed invariant mass distributions. This results in an asymmetry of A(CP) = [-0.38 ± 0.27]%, which is the most precise measurement of this quantity to date. The result is consistent with the standard model prediction of zero CP asymmetry in this decay.

Abstract
Podocyte injury is the first step in the progression of glomerulosclerosis. Previous studies have demonstrated the beneficial effect of bone morphogenetic protein 7 (Bmp7) in podocyte injury and the existence of native Bmp signaling in podocytes. Local activity of Bmp7 is controlled by cell-type specific Bmp antagonists, which inhibit the binding of Bmp7 to its receptors. Here we show that the product of Twisted gastrulation (Twsg1), a Bmp antagonist, is the central negative regulator of Bmp function in podocytes and that Twsg1 null mice are resistant to podocyte injury. Twsg1 was the most abundant Bmp antagonist in murine cultured podocytes. The administration of Bmp induced podocyte differentiation through Smad signaling, whereas the simultaneous administration of Twsg1 antagonized the effect. The administration of Bmp also inhibited podocyte proliferation, whereas simultaneous administration of Twsg1 antagonized the effect. Twsg1 was expressed in the glomerular parietal cells (PECs) and distal nephron of the healthy kidney, and additionally in damaged glomerular cells in a murine model of podocyte injury. Twsg1 null mice exhibited milder hypoalbuminemia and hyperlipidemia, and milder histological changes while maintaining the expression of podocyte markers during podocyte injury model. Taken together, our results show that Twsg1 plays a critical role in the modulation of protective action of Bmp7 on podocytes, and that inhibition of Twsg1 is a promising means of development of novel treatment for podocyte injury.

Abstract
We present the first measurements of the ratios of cross sections σ(pp → Z+c jet)/σ(pp → Z+jet) and σ(pp → Z+c jet)/σ(pp → Z+b jet) for the associated production of a Z boson with at least one charm or bottom quark jet. Jets have transverse momentum pT(jet)>20 GeV and pseudorapidity |η(jet)|<2.5. These cross section ratios are measured differentially as a function of jet and Z boson transverse momenta, based on 9.7 fb(-1) of pp collisions collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider at √s=1.96 TeV. The measurements show significant deviations from perturbative QCD calculations and predictions from various event generators.

Abstract
Abstract Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and another pro-opiomelanocortin-derived neuropeptide, β-endorphin (β-End), are stimulated by corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) at the anterior pituitary. CRH and β-End have predominantly proinflammatory effects in peripheral inflammatory sites. We have supposed that inflammatory stimuli develop ACTH as well as β-End. In this study, we investigated the expression of ACTH in inflamed synovial tissue from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA), and at inflammatory joints with adjuvant-induced arthritis (AA) in female Lewis (LEW/N) rats. The expression of ACTH immunostaining was significantly greater in synovium of RA patients than in that of OA patients (P < 0.0001), and correlated with the extent of inflammatory mononuclear cell infiltration. Extensive and intense intracellular ACTH immunostaining, which correlated with the advance in arthritis score, was observed in the synovial lining layer, inflammatory mononuclear cells, and fibroblast-like cells of synovium and chondrocytes in LEW/N rats with AA. In addition, we performed double immunostaining of the same sections from arthritic joints in rats with anti-ACTH and anti-CRH antibodies. ACTH and CRH colocalized in inflammatory mononuclear cells and fibroblast-like cells. ACTH may play a role in the pathogenesis of RA as well as CRH.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Previous investigations on chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology characterized by tubulointerstitial damages (CKDu) in the North Central Region (NCR) of Sri Lanka have supported the involvement of social, environmental and genetic factors in its pathogenesis. METHODS We conducted a social-environmental-and-genetic epidemiology study on a male population in NCR to investigate the genetic and environmental contributors. We recruited 311 case-series patients and 504 control candidates. Of the 504 control candidates, 218 (43%) were eliminated because of the presence of hypertension, proteinuria, high HbA1c, high serum creatinine or high alpha-1 microglobulin in urine. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION None of 18 metals measured (μg//) in urine, including Cd, As and Pb, showed significantly higher concentrations in cases compared with controls. As speciation results showed that 75-80% of total urinary As was in the form of arsenobetaine, which is non-toxic to humans. None of the metal concentrations in drinking water samples exceeded guideline values. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) was conducted to determine the genetic contributors. The GWAS yielded a genome-wide significant association with CKDu for a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP; rs6066043; p=5.23 × 10(-9) in quantitative trait locus analysis; p=3.73 × 10(-9) in dichotomous analysis) in SLC13A3 (sodium-dependent dicarboxylate transporter member 3). The population attributable fraction and odds ratio for this SNP were 50% and 2.13. Genetic susceptibility was identified as the major risk factor for CKDu. However, 43% of the apparently healthy male population suffers from non-communicable diseases, suggesting their possible influence on CKDu progression.

Abstract
PURPOSE We investigated the association of genetic variations, which were identified recently in a large-scale genome-wide association study (GWAS) to confer risk of refractive error and common myopia in Caucasians, with high myopia in Japanese subjects. METHODS The 5 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from the 5 genes TOX, RDH5, ZIC2, RASGRF1, and SHISA6, were genotyped in 1339 unrelated highly myopic Japanese patients and 3248 healthy Japanese participants in the Nagahama Study. In addition, genotypes were compared between high myopia patients without choroidal neovascularization (CNV) and patients with myopic CNV. RESULTS Significant associations between rs8000973 near ZIC2 (P = 7.16 × 10(-7)), rs4778879 in RASGRF1 (P = 3.40 × 10(-7)), and rs2969180 in SHISA6 (P = 0.033) and high myopia were observed. Odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) were 1.33 (1.19-1.49), 0.78 (0.71-0.86), and 1.11 (1.01-1.22) for the rs8000973 C allele, rs4778879 A allele, and rs2969180 G allele, respectively. The effect of the rs2969180 allele G contrasted with that observed in the original report, whereas the effect of the other 2 SNPs agreed. Further analysis using controls with -1.0 diopter (D) ≤ spherical equivalent ≤ +1.0 D showed a significant association between ZIC2 and RASGRF1, but not SHISA6. Among the patients with high myopia, 516 had myopic CNV in either eye, while 823 patients did not have myopic CNV in eyes. No evaluated genes showed a significant association with the development of myopic CNV. CONCLUSIONS ZIC2 and RASGRF1 are susceptibility genes, not only for common myopia, but also for high myopia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The excessive consumption of confectionery might have adverse effects on human health. To screen genetic factors associated with confectionery-intake frequency, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) in Japan was conducted. DESIGN AND METHODS For the discovery phase (stage 1), we conducted a GWAS of 939 noncancer patients in a cancer hospital. Additive models were used to test associations between genotypes of approximately 500,000 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and the confectionery-intake score (based on intake frequency). We followed-up association signals with P < 1 × 10(-5) and minor allele frequency >0.01 in stage 1 by genotyping the SNPs of 4,491 participants in a cross-sectional study within a cohort (replication phase [stage 2]). RESULTS We identified 12 SNPs in stage 1 that were potentially related to confectionery intake. In stage 2, this association was replicated for one SNP (rs822396; P = 0.049 for stage 2 and 4.2 × 10(-5) for stage 1+2) in intron 1 of the ADIPOQ gene, which encodes the adipokine adiponectin. CONCLUSIONS Given the biological plausibility and previous relevant findings, the association of an SNP in the ADIPOQ gene with a preference for confectionery is worthy of follow-up and provides a good working hypothesis for experimental testing.

Abstract
Background DNA profiling is essential for individual identification. In forensic medicine, the likelihood ratio (LR) is commonly used to identify individuals. The LR is calculated by comparing two hypotheses for the sample DNA: that the sample DNA is identical or related to a reference DNA, and that it is randomly sampled from a population. For multiple-fatality cases, however, identification should be considered as an assignment problem, and a particular sample and reference pair should therefore be compared with other possibilities conditional on the entire dataset. Results We developed a new method to compute the probability via permanents of square matrices of nonnegative entries. As the exact permanent is known as a #P-complete problem, we applied the Huber–Law algorithm to approximate the permanents. We performed a computer simulation to evaluate the performance of our method via receiver operating characteristic curve analysis compared with LR under the assumption of a closed incident. Differences between the two methods were well demonstrated when references provided neither obligate alleles nor impossible alleles. The new method exhibited higher sensitivity (0.188 vs. 0.055) at a threshold value of 0.999, at which specificity was 1, and it exhibited higher area under a receiver operating characteristic curve (0.990 vs. 0.959, P = 9.6E-15). Conclusions Our method therefore offers a solution for a computationally intensive assignment problem and may be a viable alternative to LR-based identification for closed-incident multiple-fatality cases.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the association between the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene polymorphism and the response to anti-VEGF treatment for choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in highly myopic eyes. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. PARTICIPANTS A total of 357 unrelated highly myopic Japanese patients with axial lengths ≥26.0 mm in both eyes were eligible, and 83 patients who received anti-VEGF therapy for CNV and could be followed for more than 1 year were included. METHODS We genotyped a functional single nucleotide polymorphism in the VEGF gene, rs2010963. The associations between the distribution of the rs2010963 genotype and the number of eyes with maintained or improved visual acuity (VA) were analyzed. Furthermore, multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to adjust for 7 possible prognostic factors, including age, sex, CNV size, CNV location, administration of loading dose, pretreatment VA, and number of additional treatments. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The primary end point was maintenance of VA, and secondary end points were progression of chorioretinal atrophy (CRA) and recurrence of CNV. RESULTS Mean age and mean axial length were not significantly different among 3 genotypes of rs2010963. The percentage of eyes with maintained or improved VA was significantly higher with the G allele of rs2010963 (P =0.016), and stepwise analysis revealed that both rs2010963 and CNV size were associated with VA maintenance (P =0.040 and 0.033, respectively). The secondary analysis revealed that administration of a loading dose was significantly associated with both CRA progression (P =0.031) and recurrence of CNV (P =0.020), whereas rs2010963 was not. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that the VEGF polymorphism influences the VA prognosis in highly myopic eyes with CNV within 1 year after anti-VEGF treatment. This association was still observed after removing its confounding effect through CNV size. The rs2010963 polymorphism was not associated with CNV recurrence or CRA progression, which indicates that these changes are not tied to intrinsic factors and may be controllable by improving treatment methods.

Abstract
Takayasu arteritis (TAK) is an autoimmune systemic vasculitis of unknown etiology. Although previous studies have revealed that HLA-B*52:01 has an effect on TAK susceptibility, no other genetic determinants have been established so far. Here, we performed genome scanning of 167 TAK cases and 663 healthy controls via Illumina Infinium Human Exome BeadChip arrays, followed by a replication study consisting of 212 TAK cases and 1,322 controls. As a result, we found that the IL12B region on chromosome 5 (rs6871626, overall p = 1.7 × 10(-13), OR = 1.75, 95% CI 1.42-2.16) and the MLX region on chromosome 17 (rs665268, overall p = 5.2 × 10(-7), OR = 1.50, 95% CI 1.28-1.76) as well as the HLA-B region (rs9263739, a proxy of HLA-B*52:01, overall p = 2.8 × 10(-21), OR = 2.44, 95% CI 2.03-2.93) exhibited significant associations. A significant synergistic effect of rs6871626 and rs9263739 was found with a relative excess risk of 3.45, attributable proportion of 0.58, and synergy index of 3.24 (p ≤ 0.00028) in addition to a suggestive synergistic effect between rs665268 and rs926379 (p ≤ 0.027). We also found that rs6871626 showed a significant association with clinical manifestations of TAK, including increased risk and severity of aortic regurgitation, a representative severe complication of TAK. Detection of these susceptibility loci will provide new insights to the basic mechanisms of TAK pathogenesis. Our findings indicate that IL12B plays a fundamental role on the pathophysiology of TAK in combination with HLA-B(∗)52:01 and that common autoimmune mechanisms underlie the pathology of TAK and other autoimmune disorders such as psoriasis and inflammatory bowel diseases in which IL12B is involved as a genetic predisposing factor.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Central systolic blood pressure (cSBP) has been postulated to correlate closely with cardiovascular risk. Identifying factors associated with cSBP is therefore important. Prolonged QT interval is known to be associated with cardiovascular outcomes and might also be associated with the arterial waveform and cSBP. We investigated the possible associations between electrocardiogram wave interval and cSBP in general population samples. METHODS Brachial blood pressure and radial arterial waveform were measured simultaneously. Augmentation index (AIx) was calculated from the radial waveform as the ratio of the height of the late systolic peak to that of the first peak. cSBP was defined as the absolute pressure of the late systolic peak. RESULTS In the first panel (n = 8,085), QT interval was strongly association with AIx (r = 0.330; P < 0.001). This association remained significant even in the heart rate-adjusted analysis (r = 0.184; P < 0.001). Although subjects with a longer QT interval were older and had higher blood pressure, heart rate, and pulse wave velocity, multivariable analysis with adjustment for these covariables nevertheless identified longer corrected QT interval as an independent determinant of increased AIx and smaller pulse pressure amplification (PPa; brachial SBP minus cSBP) (β = -0.066; P < 0.001). This association was replicated in the independent second panel (n = 1,412) (β = -0.105; P < 0.001). In contrast, QRS interval was positively associated with PPa (β = 0.056; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Longer QT interval and short QRS duration were significantly associated with arterial waveform and PPa. Our results provide a clue to the elucidation of unidentified mechanisms of the increased cardiovascular outcome and mortality risks in subjects with longer QT interval.

Abstract
We present a measurement of the direct CP-violating charge asymmetry in B(±) mesons decaying to J/ψK(±) and J/ψπ(±) where J/ψ decays to μ(+) μ(-), using the full run II data set of 10.4 fb(-1) of proton-antiproton collisions collected using the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. A difference in the yield of B(-) and B(+) mesons in these decays is found by fitting to the difference between their reconstructed invariant mass distributions resulting in asymmetries of A(J/ψK) = [0.59 ± 0.37]%, which is the most precise measurement to date, and A(J/ψπ) = [-4.2 ± 4.5]%. Both measurements are consistent with standard model predictions.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate whether genetic variations in the insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) gene are associated with high myopia in Japanese. METHODS A total of 1,339 unrelated Japanese patients with high myopia (axial length ≥26 mm in both eyes) and two independent control groups were evaluated (334 cataract patients without high myopia and 1,194 healthy Japanese individuals). The mean axial length (mm±SD) in the case group was 29.18±1.85 mm, and the mean spherical equivalent (D±SD) of the phakic eyes was -12.69±4.54 D. We genotyped five tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in IGF-1: rs6214, rs978458, rs5742632, rs12423791, and rs2162679. Chi-square tests for trend, multivariable logistic regression, and haplotype regression analysis were conducted. RESULTS We found no significant association between the IGF-1 SNPs and high or extreme myopia (axial length ≥28 mm in both eyes, 837 subjects) in the additive model, even when compared with the cataract and general population controls, with or without adjustments for age and sex. The evaluation using dominant and recessive models also did not reveal any significant associations. The haplotype analysis with a variable-sized sliding-window strategy also showed a lack of association of IGF-1 SNPs with high or extreme myopia. CONCLUSIONS The results of the present study using a Japanese subset do not support the proposal that the IGF-1 gene determines susceptibility to high or extreme myopia in Caucasians and Chinese. Further studies are needed to confirm our reports in other populations and to identify the underlying genetic determinants of these ocular pathological conditions.
