Cell-free DNA screening for sex chromosomal aneuploidies in 9985 pregnancies: Italian single experience

open access: yesBMC Research Notes, 2020
Objective Non invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) using cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) has been widely accepted in recent years to detect common fetal autosomal chromosome aneuploidies and sex chromosome aneuploidies (SCAs).

Sex-specific differences in peripheral blood leukocyte transcriptional response to LPS are enriched for HLA region and X chromosome genes

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Sex-specific differences in prevalence are well documented for many common, complex diseases, especially for immune-mediated diseases, yet the precise mechanisms through which factors associated with biological sex exert their effects throughout life are

Congenital aortic valve stenosis: from pathophysiology to molecular genetics and the need for novel therapeutics

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
Congenital aortic valve stenosis (AVS) is one of the most common valve anomalies and accounts for 3%–6% of cardiac malformations. As congenital AVS is often progressive, many patients, both children and adults, require transcatheter or surgical ...

Mendelian randomization suggests a bidirectional, causal relationship between physical inactivity and adiposity

open access: yeseLife, 2022
Physical inactivity and increased sedentary time are associated with excess weight gain in observational studies. However, some longitudinal studies indicate reverse causality where weight gain leads to physical inactivity and increased sedentary time ...
