How can we, humans, look at our relationship to nature differently? In season three of Going Wild, on top of stories about animals, we invite you to journey through the entire ecological web — from the tiniest of life forms to apex predators — alongside the scientists, activists and adventurers who study it. Wildlife biologist and host Dr. Rae Wynn-Grant has been studying wild animals in their natural habitats all over the world for years. Our award-winning podcast takes you inside the hidde ...

Show Notes:
0:00 Introduction
1:20 How polydactyl mutations can inform research on non-coding variant mechanisms
- The importance of low-affinity binding between transcription factors and targets
- How these lessons can help us improve our understanding of drug and target discovery
- See Veera’s January round-up for more information: https://www.gwasstories.com/p/january-2024-human-genetics-roundup
16:30 Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) variants associated with the neurodevelopmental disorder (NDD) gene CHD2
- An overview of the roles lncRNA play in the human genome
- The discovery of a lncRNA deletion that is linked to a CDH2-mediated neurodevelopmental disorder
- Insights into Angelman syndrome and a therapeutic design currently being used to treat it
- See Veera’s February Roundup for more information: https://www.gwasstories.com/p/february-2024-human-genetics-roundup
- Twitter thread from the original author of the study: https://twitter.com/VGaneshMDPhD/status/1755708315181744330
28:00 A non-coding variant explaining the high prevalence of Brugada syndrome in South-East Asians (one of Veera’s personal favourite stories)

41:00 The future of large scale genome-wide association studies
- A recent massive GWAS on type 2 diabetes clustering the variants of disease mechanisms
- A recent paper published in Nature Medicine that shows differences in the lipodystrophy clusters between East Asians and Europeans: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-024-02865-3
- How type 2 diabetes manifests differently across ethnic groups, potentially influencing personalised treatment strategies
