Genetic gateways to COVID-19 infection: Implications for risk, severity, and outcomes.
TL;DR: This work proposes three potentially important genetic gateways to COVID‐19 infection, which could explain at least in part the discrepancies of its spread, severity, and mortality.

DNA Methyl Transferase (DNMT) Gene Polymorphisms Could Be a Primary Event in Epigenetic Susceptibility to Schizophrenia
Koramannil Radha Saradalekshmi,Nanoth Vellichiramal Neetha,Sanish Sathyan,Indu Nair,Chandrasekharan M. Nair,Moinak Banerjee +5 more
TL;DR: Functional significance of genotype variations within the DNMTs indeed suggest that the genetic nature of methyltransferases should be considered while addressing epigenetic events mediated by methylation in Schizophrenia.
Analysis of genotype and haplotype effects of ABCB1 (MDR1) polymorphisms in the risk of medically refractory epilepsy in an Indian population.
Saadi Abdul Vahab,Supratim Sen,Nivedita Ravindran,Sridevi Mony,Anila Mathew,Neetha N Vijayan,Geetha Nayak,Nalini Bhaskaranand,Moinak Banerjee,Kapaettu Satyamoorthy +9 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that there was no statistically significant difference between allele and genotype frequencies of refractory and drug responsive epilepsy patients, and the predicted haplotypes frequencies of the three polymorphisms did not showsignificant difference between cases and controls.

Understanding epigenetics of schizophrenia in the backdrop of its antipsychotic drug therapy.
Babu Swathy,Moinak Banerjee +1 more
TL;DR: The context of epigenetics in disease pathogenesis and antipsychotic drug therapy in SCZ is re-examine to understand how much of these observations act as real indicators of the disease or therapeutic response.

Arylamine N-acetyltransferase 2 polymorphism in the ethnic populations of South India
A Anitha,Moinak Banerjee +1 more
TL;DR: The predominance of slow acetylator genotypes in the study populations conforms to the results in most other Asian populations, where approximately 60% of the individuals have been genotyped as slowacetylators.
