Germline SDHB and SDHD mutations in pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma patients
Pheochromocytoma and paragangliomas (PCC/PGL) are neuroendocrine tumors that arise from chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla and sympathetic/parasympathetic ganglia, respectively.

The gustin (CA6) gene polymorphism, rs2274333 (A/G), as a mechanistic link between PROP tasting and fungiform taste papilla density and maintenance [PDF]
Taste sensitivity to PROP varies greatly among individuals and is associated with polymorphisms in the bitter receptor gene TAS2R38, and with differences in fungiform papilla density on the anterior tongue surface.

Cytokines Genotype‐Phenotype Correlation in Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis [PDF]
NASH consists in lipid accumulation in hepatocytes that trigger oxidative stress, secretion of proinflammatory cytokines leading to steatohepatitis (NASH). The study aimed to investigate the levels of proinflammatory (TNF‐α and IL‐6) along with anti‐inflammatory cytokine IL‐10 in patients with NASH and to correlate the cytokines’ level with their ...

Systemic dysregulation of apolipoproteins in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis serum
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal disease that damages motor neurons. This study found that people with ALS show significant changes in blood fats and the proteins that carry them. Several apolipoproteins were higher, lipid balances were altered, and normal protein–lipid relationships were disrupted.

Genetic Profiling and Phenotype Spectrum in a Chinese Cohort of Pediatric Cardiomyopathy Patients
This study examines pediatric cardiomyopathies by analyzing genetic and clinical data from 55 patients (2021–2024) at Beijing Anzhen Hospital. Four subtypes were studied: dilated (DCM, 24), hypertrophic (HCM, 22), arrhythmogenic right ventricular (ARVC ...

New era of cystic fibrosis: full mutational analysis and personalized therapy [PDF]
Despite its apparently simple genetics, cystic fibrosis (CF) is a rather complex genetic disease. A lot of variability in the steps of the path from the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR ) gene to the clinical manifestations ...

Optimizing photoactivation of PA‐mCherry for optical pooled CRISPR screens
Photoactivatable PA‐mCherry finds widespread use to optically tag individual cells. However, confocal 405 nm UV laser‐scanning (normal scan) is much less efficient than widefield UV illumination, limiting the use of PA‐mCherry on confocal instruments. We remedy this limitation by reporting that rapid and repeated confocal scanning with a low‐intensity,
