Emerging Roles of PSTPIP2 in Autoimmunity: From Mechanism to Therapeutic Implications
PSTPIP2 acts as a key brake on myeloid inflammation by suppressing IL‐1β‐driven signalling, macrophage dysregulation and inflammation‐associated bone remodelling. Its emerging roles in CRMO/CMO, rheumatoid arthritis, SAPHO syndrome and bullous pemphigoid support its potential as a biomarker and therapeutic target.

Evaluating Selection Strategies Based on Inbreeding Load via Simulation
ABSTRACT Inbreeding load is the fraction of the mutation load that is due to recessive action of mutations. This load is only expressed in individual's inbred offspring. As such, inbreeding load contributes to genetic heterogeneity among individuals and can thus be used as a criterion of selection.

ABSTRACT Background Whole exome sequencing (WES) has improved diagnostic rates for neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) while introducing challenges in novel variant interpretation. DHX30‐related NDD (DHX30‐NDD) is a recently described condition with an evolving phenotypic spectrum.

A Practical Guide to Chromosome Microarray Interpretation for Paediatricians
ABSTRACT Introduction Chromosome microarray (CMA) is a test commonly ordered by general paediatricians. It has diagnostic yield between 10%–15% in individuals with neurodevelopmental delay, autism and/or multiple congenital abnormalities. CMA identifies copy number variants (CNV) including deletions and duplications, which may be pathogenic, variants ...

Oral Lichenoid Lesions in Patients With Dyskeratosis Congenita: A Retrospective Case Series
ABSTRACT Background Dyskeratosis congenita (DKC) is a rare inherited multisystem disorder primarily affecting the mucocutaneous and hematopoietic systems. Classically, it presents with the ectodermal triad of reticulate skin pigmentation, nail dystrophy, and oral leukoplakia.

AbstractPeriodontitis is a complex inflammatory disease in which the host genome, in conjunction with extrinsic factors, determines susceptibility and progression. Genetic predisposition is the strongest risk factor in the first decades of life. As people age, chronic exposure to the periodontal microbiome puts a strain on the proper maintenance of ...

Abstract Background Prekallikrein (PK) deficiency is a rare contact factor deficiency that can markedly prolong the activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) without a bleeding phenotype. Because viscoelastic hemostatic assays also rely on contact activation, their behavior in severe PK deficiency is relevant to perioperative evaluation of isolated ...

Caenorhabditis elegans as an in vivo model system for human inherited primary arrhythmia syndromes
Abstract figure legend Most genes involved in inherited primary arrhythmia syndromes (IPAS) are conserved in Caenorhabditis elegans, where genetic manipulation enables functional characterization of variants, identification of regulatory proteins, and in vivo drug testing.

hERG1 channels and potential therapeutics for long QT syndrome
Abstract figure legend Prolonged QT results from hERG1 channel dysfunction. (A) Physiological anterograde trafficking of hERG1 channels to the plasma membrane, leading to a normal electrocardiogram. (B) Prolonged QT results from the presence of fewer hERG1 channels on the plasma membrane due to decreased anterograde trafficking or reduced function due ...

ABSTRACT Background Shwachman–Diamond syndrome (SDS) is a rare autosomal recessive ribosomopathy characterized by bone marrow failure and multisystem involvement, with emerging evidence of associated neurocognitive impairment. Methods We conducted a retrospective study of 240 individuals with biallelic Shwachman–Bodian–Diamond syndrome (SBDS) mutations
