ABSTRACT Autosomal recessive loss‐of‐function variants in PPP1R13L cause an ultra‐rare cardiocutaneous syndrome characterized by rapidly progressive arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM). PPP1R13L encodes iASPP, which has two potentially overlapping mechanisms driving ACM as both a regulator of NFκB‐mediated inflammation and a binding partner within the ...

Downregulation of Fzd6 and Cthrc1 and upregulation of olfactory receptors and protocadherins by dietary beta-carotene in lungs of Bcmo1-/- mice. [PDF]
An ongoing controversy exists on beneficial versus harmful effects of high beta-carotene (BC) intake, especially for the lung. To elucidate potential mechanisms, we studied effects of BC on lung gene expression.

Successful Treatment of Severe Adult Linear IgA Dermatosis Using Dupilumab
ABSTRACT Linear IgA dermatosis (LAD) is a rare autoimmune subepidermal bullous dermatosis, characterised by the presence of erythematous vesiculobullous lesions arranged in rosettes or herpetiform clusters. The standard treatment involves the administration of dapsone, followed by sulfasalazine, and general corticosteroid therapy, often in combination ...

Therapeutic Options for IgA Pemphigus in Patients Refractory to Dapsone
ABSTRACT IgA pemphigus is a rare autoimmune blistering disorder with limited therapeutic guidance available due to its rarity and complex presentation. This comprehensive analysis evaluates the therapeutic outcomes of 67 published patients, emphasising the significant role of dapsone as the first‐line treatment.
