Subversion of Atypical Mucin Traps by a Spore‐Coat Effector Blocks Cellular Immunity in Drosophila
While the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium robertsii can evade insect humoral immunity, its subversion of cellular defenses is still elusive. We identify Eac1 as a spore‐coat protein essential for infecting drosophilids by targeting atypical mucins (Sgf1 and Sgf2), which can entrap spores in a gel matrix and thereby facilitate hemocyte encapsulation.

Myelodysplastic Syndromes: 2026 Update on Diagnosis, Risk‐Stratification and Management
ABSTRACT Disease Overview The myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a heterogeneous group of myeloid disorders characterized by peripheral blood cytopenias and increased risk of transformation to acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). MDS occurs more frequently in older males and in individuals with prior exposure to cytotoxic therapy.

ABSTRACT Since 2015, Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital has performed diagnostic testing for infants who screen positive for mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS II) on the Illinois newborn screen. Preliminary diagnostic testing includes measurement of plasma iduronate‐2‐sulfatase enzyme activity and urinary glycosaminoglycan analysis, followed ...

ABSTRACT WAGR spectrum disorder (WAGRSD) is an ultra‐rare congenital disorder caused by heterozygous deletion of chromosome 11p13. While classically associated with Wilms tumor, Aniridia, Genitourinary anomalies, and a Range of developmental delays, accurate delineation of the deletion is critical for prognosis because the phenotypic spectrum extends ...

Melatonin Levels in 89 Individuals With Smith Magenis Syndrome
ABSTRACT In patients with Smith–Magenis syndrome (SMS), an inverted circadian rhythm of melatonin (MT) contributes to the sleep disturbance. Standard treatment of sleep disturbance with MT often leads to extremely high daytime MT levels, resulting in even more sleep disorders. We therefore retrospectively evaluated the MT data of 89 SMS patients.

Unraveling a Diagnostic Enigma: A TECPR2 Case Solved Through Multi‐Omic Genomics
ABSTRACT TECPR2 is a key regulator of autophagy, encoded by the TECPR2 gene. Pathogenic variants in this gene have been linked to a rare hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy with intellectual disability (HSAN9). We report a teenage female with a syndromic intellectual disability disorder associated with neuromuscular abnormalities.
