Socio-economic Aspects of Marine Bivalve Production
The aim of this book is to review and analyse the goods and services of bivalve shellfish. How
they are defined, what determines the ecological functions that are the basis for the goods
and services, what controversies in the use of goods and services exist, and what is needed for
sustainable exploitation of bivalves from the perspective of the various stakeholders. The book
is focused on the goods and services, and not on impacts of shellfish aquaculture on the
benthic environment, or on threats like biotoxins; neither is it a shellfish culture handbook
although it can be used in evaluating shellfish culture. The reviews and analysis are based on
case studies that exemplify the concept, and show the strengths and weaknesses of the
current applications. The multi-authored reviews cover ecological, economic and social aspects
of bivalve goods and services. The book provides new insights for scientists, students, shellfish
producers, policy advisors, nature conservationists and decision makers
Rare variants with large effects provide functional insights into the pathology of migraine subtypes, with and without aura
Publisher Copyright: © 2023, The Author(s).Migraine is a complex neurovascular disease with a range of severity and symptoms, yet mostly studied as one phenotype in genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Here we combine large GWAS datasets from six European populations to study the main migraine subtypes, migraine with aura (MA) and migraine without aura (MO). We identified four new MA-associated variants (in PRRT2, PALMD, ABO and LRRK2) and classified 13 MO-associated variants. Rare variants with large effects highlight three genes. A rare frameshift variant in brain-expressed PRRT2 confers large risk of MA and epilepsy, but not MO. A burden test of rare loss-of-function variants in SCN11A, encoding a neuron-expressed sodium channel with a key role in pain sensation, shows strong protection against migraine. Finally, a rare variant with cis-regulatory effects on KCNK5 confers large protection against migraine and brain aneurysms. Our findings offer new insights with therapeutic potential into the complex biology of migraine and its subtypes.Peer reviewe
