Evolution and Climate Adaptation in Eurasian Gyrfalcon Populations
This reports the influence of past, current and future Arctic climate change to the evolution of Eurasian gyrfalcons (Falco rusticolus), and reveals that its current evolutionary potential is insufficient to cope with the ongoing Arctic warming. ABSTRACT Climate change is considered a key driver for shaping ecological and evolutionary processes of ...

Meningococcal Serogroup Y Meningitis Reveals Inborn Factor B Deficiency
We report a novel case of complete complement Factor B deficiency revealed by invasive meningococcal disease. Using combined functional and genetic analyses, we demonstrate that loss of Factor B abolishes alternative pathway activity despite detectable protein levels. These findings provide a mechanistic framework relevant to complement diagnostics and

Abstract Objective Variants in KCNQ2 encoding the voltage‐gated potassium channel KV7.2 are associated with developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE) of varying severity. This study examined the relationship of KCNQ2 variant dysfunction with the neurodevelopmental phenotype of individuals with KCNQ2‐DEE. Methods A parent‐reported survey gathered

Abstract Objective Infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS) and self‐limited infantile epilepsy (SeLIE) are both genetically heterogeneous disorders during infancy with distinct prognoses. To better define the genetic spectrum of IESS, we performed a comparative genetic analysis using SeLIE cases as a reference group. Methods We performed whole‐exome
