Higher complement C4 gene copy number constitutes a shared genetic risk factor for giant cell arteritis and IgA vasculitis

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective Low copy number (CN) of complement C4 isoforms and high CN of retroviral HERV‐K elements are known risk factors for many immune‐mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs), often showing sex‐biased effects. Here, we assessed whether CN variation within the C4 gene contributes to giant cell arteritis (GCA) and IgA vasculitis (IgAV), two complex ...

5‐Methylcytosine Analysis of miRNAs in Minimal Change Disease

open access: yesBiotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Minimal change disease (MCD) is a glomerular disorder, which is the most common cause of nephrotic syndrome in children. Additionally, the prevalence of MCD in adults has been increasing in recent years. During protein synthesis, noncoding RNAs can be regulated through a variety of modifications, which helps preserve biological diversity and ...

Age‐related differences in hydroxychloroquine‐associated adverse events: A pharmacovigilance study based on the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims This real‐world pharmacovigilance study utilizes FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) data (2004–2024) to characterize age‐related disparities in hydroxychloroquine (HCQ)‐associated adverse events (AEs), addressing gaps in age‐stratified risk assessment. Methods Disproportionality analysis (reporting odds ratios, RORs) and parametric Weibull

HLA genotype testing for carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine and eslicarbazepine: A guideline developed by the UK Centre of Excellence in Regulatory Science and Innovation in Pharmacogenomics (CERSI‐PGx)

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Carbamazepine is licensed in the United Kingdom for the treatment of epilepsy, bipolar disorder and trigeminal neuralgia. The related compounds oxcarbazepine and eslicarbazepine are licensed for the treatment of epilepsy. These drugs can cause immune‐mediated hypersensitivity reactions, which typically affect the skin, and can be of variable severity ...

Voclosporin‐induced gingival enlargement: A case report

open access: yesClinical Advances in Periodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Drug‐influenced gingival enlargement (DIGE) is a recognized adverse effect of certain medications, particularly immunosuppressants like cyclosporin and tacrolimus. However, there have been no documented cases of DIGE associated with voclosporin, a newer calcineurin inhibitor used primarily to treat lupus nephritis.

Real‐world effectiveness and safety with nivolumab plus ipilimumab or nivolumab alone in patients with or without melanoma brain metastasis: Results from the German noninterventional NICO study

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? Although patients with melanoma brain metastases (MBM) may benefit from treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), which are known to improve survival in advanced melanoma, MBM patients have often been excluded from trials evaluating ICIs.
