Severity of effect considerations regarding the use of mutation as a toxicological endpoint for risk assessment: A report from the 8th International Workshop on Genotoxicity Testing (IWGT)

Environmental and Molecular Mutagenesis, EarlyView.
Abstract Exposure levels without appreciable human health risk may be determined by dividing a point of departure on a dose–response curve (e.g., benchmark dose) by a composite adjustment factor (AF). An “effect severity” AF (ESAF) is employed in some regulatory contexts.

Precision therapies for genetic epilepsies in 2025: Promises and pitfalls

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract By targeting the underlying etiology, precision therapies offer an exciting paradigm shift to improve the stagnant outcomes of drug‐resistant epilepsies, including developmental and epileptic encephalopathies. Unlike conventional antiseizure medications (ASMs) which only treat the symptoms (seizures) but have no effect on the underlying ...

Immunocytes do not mediate food intake and the causal relationship with allergic rhinitis: a comprehensive Mendelian randomization

Frontiers in Nutrition
BackgroundObservational studies indicate a correlation between food intake and allergic rhinitis. The potential interplay between the immune system and allergic rhinitis might contribute causally to both food intake and allergic rhinitis, providing ...

Assessing the causal relationship between the plasma proteome and epilepsy: A Mendelian randomization study

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Understanding the role of plasma proteins in the pathophysiology of epilepsy is crucial for uncovering novel biological mechanisms and therapeutic targets. Mendelian randomization (MR) provides a valuable tool for dissecting potentially causal associations between circulating proteins and disease risk.

Serum Retinol Levels and Risk of Asthma: Evidence From the NHANES and Mendelian Randomization

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.
The results of cross‐sectional studies and MR analysis support an association between serum retinol and the prevalence of asthma in adults. Higher serum retinol levels may serve as a protective factor against asthma. ABSTRACT Given the ongoing controversy regarding the relationship between serum retinol levels and asthma, this study aims to clarify ...

Integrative Evidence From Metabolome‐Wide Mendelian Randomization and Animal Models Implicates Tyrosine in Cardiac Hypercontractility and Arrhythmia Risk

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.
Plasma metabolome‐wide Mendelian randomization analysis established a causal link between tyrosine and arrhythmia. GWAS meta‐analysis identified tyrosine‐associated loci linked to cardiovascular risk factors. Animal studies confirmed that oral tyrosine intake modulates heart rhythm via adrenergic signaling activation.
