项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Disturbances of iron homeostasis can have significant clinical consequences. Iron deficiency is the world's most prominent nutritional deficiency and anemia of chronic disease (ACD) from decreased intestinal iron absorption and impaired iron release from macrophages is common in hospitalized patients. The overall aim of this study is to help us understand the genetic basis of variation in iron metabolism between people. Inbred mice show significant variation in multiple traits including iron metabolism. We propose to identify loci underlying strain specific differences in iron metabolism through a combination of in silico SNP association and gene expression profiling. We will test candidate genes for iron related function in Zebrafish, a complementary vertebrate model. Finally, we will assess candidate genes for a role in human iron metabolism through population based studies. We have assembled a multi- disciplinary research team of iron metabolism biologists, geneticists and computational biologists to carry out the proposed study.

描述（由申请人提供）：铁稳态的紊乱可能产生显着的临床后果。缺铁是世界上最突出的营养缺乏症，而因肠道铁吸收减少和巨噬细胞铁释放受损而导致的慢性病贫血 (ACD) 在住院患者中很常见。这项研究的总体目的是帮助我们了解人与人之间铁代谢差异的遗传基础。近交小鼠在包括铁代谢在内的多种性状上表现出显着差异。我们建议通过结合计算机SNP关联和基因表达谱来确定铁代谢中菌株特异性差异的基因座。我们将在斑马鱼（一种互补的脊椎动物模型）中测试铁相关功能的候选基因。最后，我们将通过基于人群的研究评估候选基因在人类铁代谢中的作用。我们组建了一个由铁代谢生物学家、遗传学家和计算生物学家组成的多学科研究团队来开展这项拟议的研究。
