| Abstract | PURPOSE: To analyze the effect of variants including age-related macular degeneration (AMD)-associated combinative insertion/deletion polymorphism (indel) at 3'UTR of ARMS2 and possibly associated R38X on the stability of ARMS2 transcripts. METHODS: ARMS2 transcription from minigene vectors carrying different alleles at variants R38X and the indel were assessed in mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs). Dual luciferase assays were applied to evaluate the effect of the indel on gene expression. RT-PCR and quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) were used to measure the two ARMS2 transcripts (isoform A and isoform B) in MEFs and human retina-RPE-choroid samples (n = 83). RESULTS: Allele X at variant R38X decreased exogenous ARMS2 transcripts in MEFs compared to allele R. In contrast, the indel did not change the level of exogenous ARMS2 transcripts. After blocking transcription by actinomycin D, R38X appeared to accelerate the degradation of ARMS2 transcripts, while the indel did not obviously affect the stability of ARMS2 transcripts compared to the wild-type (WT) allele. Dual luciferase assays further indicated that the indel did not influence gene expression. Quantitative RT-PCR results showed that there was no significant difference in two ARMS2 transcript splice isoforms among retina-RPE-choroid samples carrying different genotypes at variants R38X and the indel. CONCLUSIONS: Variant R38X, not the indel, decreases the stability of ARMS2 transcripts in vitro. However, genotypes at R38X and the indel do not obviously affect the level of ARMS2 transcripts in retina-RPE-choroid samples. These results suggest that variants R38X and the indel are less likely to play a pathogenic role in AMD by changing the level of ARMS2 transcripts. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
