Analyzing single cell transcriptome data from severe COVID-19 patients
Nassir, Nasna; Tambi, Richa; Bankapur, Asma; Karuvantevida, Noushad; Zehra, Binte; Begum, Ghausia; Hameid, Reem Abdel; Ahmed, Awab; Shabestari, Seyed Ali Safizadeh; Hachim, Mahmood Yaseen; Alsheikh-Ali, Alawi; Berdiev, Bakhrom; Al Heialy, Saba; Uddin, Mohammed (2022)SUMMARY: We describe the protocol for identifying COVID-19 severity specific cell types and their regulatory marker genes using single-cell transcriptomics data. We construct COVID-19 comorbid disease-associated gene list ... -
Cell‑specifc MAPT gene expression is preserved in neuronal and glial tau cytopathologies in progressive supranuclear palsy
Nassir, Nasna; Ahmed, Awab; Uddin, Mohammed (2023)Abstract: Microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT) aggregates in neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes in a number of neurodegenerative diseases, including progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). Tau is a target of ... -
Detection of copy number variants and genes by chromosomal microarray in an Emirati neurodevelopmental disorders cohort
Nassir, Nasna; Al Shaibani, Shaiban; Ahmed, Awab; Tayoun, Ahmad Abou; Uddin, Mohammed; Albanna, Ammar (2022)Abstract: Copy number variations (CNVs) are highly implicated in the etiology of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), and chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) has been recommended as a frst-tier test for many NDDs. We ... -
Single-cell reconstruction and mutation enrichment analysis identifies dysregulated cardiomyocyte and endothelial cells in congenital heart disease
Tambi, Richa; Bente, Zehra; Nandkishore, Sharon; Sharafat, Shermin; Kader, Faiza; Nassir, Nasna; Mohamed, Nesrin; Ahmed, Awab; Abdel Hameid, Reem; Alasrawi, Samah; Alsheikh-Ali, Alawi; Uddin, Mohammed; Berdiev, Bakhrom K (2023)Abstract: Congenital heart disease (CHD) is one of the most prevalent neonatal congenital anomalies. To catalog the putative candidate CHD risk genes, we collected 16,349 variants [single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) and ... -
Single-cell transcriptome identifes molecular subtype of autism spectrum disorder impacted by de novo loss-of-function variants regulating glial cells
Nassir, Nasna; Bankapur, Asma; Ali, Abdulrahman; Ahmed, Awab; Inuwa, Ibrahim M.; Shabestari, Seyed Ali Safzadeh; Albanna, Ammar; Berdiev, Bakhrom; Uddin, Mohammed (2021)Background: In recent years, several hundred autism spectrum disorder (ASD) implicated genes have been discov ered impacting a wide range of molecular pathways. However, the molecular underpinning of ASD, particularly ... -
Single-cell transcriptome identifies FCGR3B upregulated subtype of alveolar macrophages in patients with critical COVID-19
Nassir, Nasna; Tambi, Richa; Bankapur, Asma; Al Heialy, Saba; Karuvantevida, Noushad; Zehra, Binte; Begum, Ghausia; Hameid, Reem Abdel; Ahmed, Awab; Shabestari, Seyed Ali Safizadeh; Kandasamy, Richard K; Loney, Tom; Tayoun, Ahmad Abou; Nowotny, Norbert; Hachim, Mahmood Yaseen; Berdiev, Bakhrom; Alsheikh-Ali, Alawi; Uddin, Mohammed (2021)Summary: Understanding host cell heterogeneity is critical for unraveling disease mechanism. Utilizing large-scale single-cell transcriptomics, we analyzed multiple tissue specimens from patients with life-threatening ...
