Rodent model of metabolic dysfunction‐associated fatty liver disease: a systematic review
Abstract Although significant progress has been made in developing preclinical models for metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), few have encapsulated the essential biological and clinical outcome elements reflective of the human condition.

Precision medicine to identify, prevent, and treat pediatric obesity
Abstract Pediatric obesity is a growing health concern that has many secondary adverse health implications. Personalized medicine is a tool that can be used to optimize diagnosis and treatments of many diseases. In this review, we will focus on three areas related to the genetics of pediatric obesity: (i) genetic causes predisposing to pediatric ...

ALMS1 deletion in rats causes hyperleptinemia, progressive obesity, and renal damage
Genome‐wide association studies identified single nucleotide polymorphisms in the Alström syndrome 1 (ALMS1) gene linked to chronic kidney disease (CKD). ALMS1 has also been associated to obesity and insulin resistance. Inactivating mutations in the ALMS1 gene cause Alström syndrome in humans, characterized by early onset obesity, insulin resistance ...

Triple Vectors Expand AAV Transfer Capacity in the Retina. [PDF]
Retinal gene transfer with adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors holds great promise for the treatment of inherited retinal degenerations (IRDs). One limit of AAV is its transfer capacity of about 5 kb, which can be expanded to about 9 kb, using dual AAV ...

Summary Background The diagnosis of monogenic obesity is burdened by frequent variants of uncertain significance (VUS). We describe our real‐life approach of variant reassessment over time and we assess whether inconclusive variants are decreasing in monogenic obesity.

A truncating mutation of Alms1 reduces the number of hypothalamic neuronal cilia in obese mice
AbstractPrimary cilia are ubiquitous cellular antennae whose dysfunction collectively causes various disorders, including vision and hearing impairment, as well as renal, skeletal, and central nervous system anomalies. One ciliopathy, Alström syndrome, is closely related to Bardet–Biedl syndrome (BBS), sharing amongst other phenotypic features morbid ...

A multistep bioinformatic approach detects putative regulatory elements in gene promoters [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Searching for approximate patterns in large promoter sequences frequently produces an exceedingly high numbers of results. Our aim was to exploit biological knowledge for definition of a sheltered search space and of appropriate search ...

Molecular autopsy in Chinese sudden cardiac death in the young
Abstract Inherited cardiovascular conditions are significant causes of sudden cardiac death in the young (SCDY), making their investigation using molecular autopsy and prevention a public health priority. However, the molecular autopsy data in Chinese population is lacking.
