    Applications
    The AGTR2 gene, encoding the angiotensin II receptor type 2, has been a subject of significant scientific exploration, especially in the context of its physiological and pathological roles. Recent research has unveiled the potential of AGTR2 in the context of viral infections, particularly its interaction with SARS-CoV-2. A study highlighted that AGTR2 has a high tissue specificity in the lungs and may serve as a potential entry point for SARS-CoV-2 into human cells. Furthermore, another investigation revealed a borderline association of the AGTR2 genotype with COVID-19 retinopathy in males, suggesting its potential role in the ocular manifestations of the disease. Additionally, AGTR2 has been associated with cycling performance, where specific gene polymorphisms were linked to power/sprint performance in athletes. In essence, AGTR2 has diverse applications in scientific research, ranging from viral infections to athletic performance.

    Research Highlights

    Tayler HM, et al. "Altered gene expression within the renin-angiotensin system in normal ageing and ." The journals of gerontology. Series A, Biological sciences and medical sciences, 2023.
    In the present study, the authors examined gene expression of ACE1, AGTR1, AGTR2, ACE2, LNPEP, and MAS1 using the 2-,àÜ,àÜCq method in 177 individuals categorized as BS0-II (n = 48), BSIII-IV (n = 44), and BSV-VI (n = 85). The analysis was adjusted for reference genes (RPL13 and UBE2D2) and cell-specific calibrator genes (NEUN, GFAP, PECAM). They found that in normal aging, expression of ACE1 and AGTR1, markers of classical RAS signaling, and AGTR2 were elevated while markers of protective downstream regulatory RAS signaling (ACE2, MAS1, and LNPEP) remained unchanged. In patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and mixed dementia, expression of AGTR1 and AGTR2 were elevated in BSIII-IV and BSV-VI, respectively. MAS1 expression was lower in BSV-VI and was found to be inversely related to parenchymal Abeta and tau load. LNPEP expression was specifically higher in vascular dementia (VaD). These findings provide new insights into RAS signaling in both normal aging and dementia.

    Chung IH, et al. "Whole Genome Sequencing Revealed Inherited Rare Oligogenic Variants Contributing ." International journal of molecular sciences, 2023.
    In this study, the authors analyzed the genetic factors underlying schizophrenia and affective disorders in two families through whole genome sequencing. While no de novo, autosomal dominant, or recessive pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants were detected in these families, several rare inherited variants of unknown significance were identified in the probands. Notably, four rare variants were found in genes associated with schizophrenia in family 1, and three rare variants were shared by two sisters with major depressive disorder in family 2. These findings suggest that inherited rare variants may contribute to the development of psychiatric disorders and may interact with each other to influence susceptibility.
