Perspectives on the Current and Future State of Artificial Intelligence in Medical Genetics
ABSTRACT Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming numerous aspects of daily life, including clinical practice and biomedical research. In light of this rapid transformation, and in the context of medical genetics, we assembled a group of leaders in the field to respond to the question about how AI is affecting, and especially how AI will ...

ABSTRACT The interstitial 6p microdeletion syndrome is characterized by dysmorphic facies and structural heart, kidney, brain, and musculoskeletal differences. RREB1 haploinsufficiency and consequent abnormal RAS‐MAPK pathway signaling have been proposed as a driver of the disease phenotype; however, apart from a single case report, the phenotype of ...

Longitudinal Metabolomics in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Implicates Impaired Lipid Metabolism
Objective Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease characterized by altered metabolome and energy homeostasis, manifesting with body mass index changes and hypermetabolism—both prognostic of disease progression and survival.

Control of the Extension-Flexion Cycle of Human Knees During Bicycle Riding by a Synergy of Solitary Muscular Excitations and Contractions [PDF]
A Hill-type model is proposed for the extension-flexion cycle of human knees during bicycle riding. The extension-flexion cycle is controlled by a synergy of muscular excitations and contractions of the knee musculature. Muscular action potentials are modeled by Sine-Gordon kinks, while titin-influenced actomyosin contractionsare modeled by Korteweg-de

Abstract Aims The aim of the study was to investigate whether differences in paracetamol pharmacokinetics (PK) between spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) patients and healthy controls (HC) could be attributed to specific clinical covariates. Methods Nonlinear mixed‐effects modelling (NONMEM 7.4) was used to develop a population PK model, explore covariates ...
