Diagnostic Challenge in Frontal Variant Alzheimer's Disease With Low Amyloid‐β PET Retention
ABSTRACT Diagnosing frontal variant Alzheimer's disease (fvAD) is difficult and could be even more difficult when amyloid‐beta (Aβ) PET retention is low. A 63‐year‐old woman presenting with a 3‐year history of apathy and memory impairment showed executive dysfunction, memory impairment, and severe bilateral frontotemporal atrophy on MRI.

Probabilistically Sampled and Spectrally Clustered Plant Genotypes using Phenotypic Characteristics [PDF]
Clustering genotypes based upon their phenotypic characteristics is used to obtain diverse sets of parents that are useful in their breeding programs. The Hierarchical Clustering (HC) algorithm is the current standard in clustering of phenotypic data. This algorithm suffers from low accuracy and high computational complexity issues.

A review of evidence on non-invasive prenatal diagnosis (NIPD) : tests for fetal RHD genotype [PDF]
This report concentrates on three main areas. First and foremost, we set the background context for RhD NIPD in prenatal care. While the methodology chapter describes how the literature review was carried out and how additional information was collected,

Validity and Reliability of Clinical and Patient‐Reported Outcomes in Multisystem Proteinopathy 1
ABSTRACT Objective Valosin‐containing protein (VCP)‐associated multisystem proteinopathy 1 (MSP1) is caused by variants in the VCP gene. MSP1 results in various phenotypes including progressive myopathy, Paget's disease of bone, frontotemporal dementia, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and parkinsonism, among others.

Translating Muscle RNAseq Into the Clinic for the Diagnosis of Muscle Diseases
ABSTRACT Objective Approximately half of patients with hereditary myopathies remain without a definitive genetic diagnosis after DNA next‐generation sequencing (NGS). Here, we implemented transcriptome analysis of muscle biopsies as a complementary diagnostic tool for patients with muscle disease but no definitive genetic diagnosis after exome ...

Postnatal and non-invasive prenatal detection of β-thalassemia mutations based on Taqman genotyping assays. [PDF]
The β-thalassemias are genetic disorder caused by more than 200 mutations in the β-globin gene, resulting in a total (β0) or partial (β+) deficit of the globin chain synthesis. The most frequent Mediterranean mutations for β-thalassemia are: β039, β+IVSI-

Estimating and accounting for genotyping errors in RAD-seq experiments
In non-model organisms, evolutionary questions are frequently addressed using reduced representation sequencing techniques due to their low cost, ease of use, and because they do not require genomic resources such as a reference genome. However, evidence

A Cross-Level Information Transmission Network for Predicting Phenotype from New Genotype: Application to Cancer Precision Medicine [PDF]
An unsolved fundamental problem in biology and ecology is to predict observable traits (phenotypes) from a new genetic constitution (genotype) of an organism under environmental perturbations (e.g., drug treatment). The emergence of multiple omics data provides new opportunities but imposes great challenges in the predictive modeling of genotype ...
