Transcriptome-wide association study and Mendelian randomization in pancreatic cancer identifies susceptibility genes and causal relationships with type 2 diabetes and venous thromboembolismResearch in context [PDF]
Summary: Background: Two important questions regarding the genetics of pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) are 1. Which germline genetic variants influence the incidence of this cancer; and 2.

Causal Exposures in Pancreatic Cancer Incidence: Insights From Mendelian Randomization Studies. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Aim Pancreatic cancer, marked by its high lethality and poor 5‐year survival rate, requires a thorough understanding of its risk factors and etiological mechanisms. In this review, we collected the latest findings from Mendelian randomization (MR) studies to identify potential causal factors for pancreatic cancer.

Biomarker discovery with quantum neural networks: a case-study in CTLA4-activation pathways [PDF]
Background Biomarker discovery is a challenging task due to the massive search space. Quantum computing and quantum Artificial Intelligence (quantum AI) can be used to address the computational problem of biomarker discovery from genetic data.

Predicting glucocorticoid resistance in multiple sclerosis relapse via a whole blood transcriptomic analysis [PDF]
A whole blood transcriptomic analysis was performed to predict steroid resistance in multiple sclerosis relapse. Abstract Aims Treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS) relapses consists of short‐term administration of high‐dose glucocorticoids (GCs). However, over 40% of patients show an insufficient response to GC treatment.

A Treatable Cause of Seizures and Hyperphosphatasia: Patients with PGAP2 and PGAP3 Mutations. [PDF]
Introduction: Hyperphosphatasia with mental retardation syndrome (HPMRS) is characterized by intellectual impairment, seizures, hypotonia, facial dysmorphism, and elevated serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) level. HPMRS has been linked to mutations in several genes including PGAP2 and PGAP3.

Excluding Digenic Inheritance of PGAP2 and PGAP3 Variants in Mabry Syndrome (OMIM 239300) Patient: Phenotypic Spectrum Associated with PGAP2 Gene Variants in Hyperphosphatasia with Mental Retardation Syndrome-3 (HPMRS3). [PDF]
We present a case report of a child with features of hyperphosphatasia with neurologic deficit (HPMRS) or Mabry syndrome (MIM 239300) with variants of unknown significance in two post-GPI attachments to proteins genes, PGAP2 and PGAP3, that underlie HPMRS 3 and 4. Background: In addition to HPMRS 3 and 4, disruption of four phosphatidylinositol glycan (

The circular RNA landscape in multiple sclerosis: Disease-specific associated variants and exon methylation shape circular RNA expression profile [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a class of non-coding RNAs increasingly emerging as crucial actors in the pathogenesis of human diseases, including autoimmune and neurological disorders as multiple sclerosis (MS).
