Pathogenic DMD variants usually follow the reading‐frame rule: out‐of‐frame changes cause Duchenne muscular dystrophy, whereas in‐frame ones produce Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD). We report a 23‐year‐old man with BMD‐like weakness, calf hypertrophy, elevated creatine kinase, and dilated cardiomyopathy.

Understanding Neurodegenerative Diseases From the −Omics Perspective: Lessons Learnt
As the population ages, certain neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) are becoming a major health issue. For this reason, this review will focus on the most common ND with onset after 65 years old; Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Lewy body dementia, and frontotemporal dementia.

Genomic Structural Variations Provide Insights Into Litter Size and Teat Number Traits in Hu Sheep
Here, we conducted whole genome sequencing on 300 Hu sheep with an average depth of 16.51X. Two candidate genes associated with litter size and teat number traits were identified, namely MAST2 and AFDN. ABSTRACT Litter size and the teat number are important economic indicators in sheep production.

Diagnostic Implications and Correlates of Plasma Adenosine Deaminase 2 Activity and ADA2 Variants
Objective Deficiency of adenosine deaminase 2 (DADA2) is a monogenic autoinflammatory disease manifested as polyarteritis nodosa, stroke, and bone marrow failure. Leveraging an international cohort of 200 DADA2 cases, we aimed to characterize the diagnostic utility of a plasma ADA2 enzyme activity assay and understand the implications of residual ADA2 ...

Aim The aim of this study was to develop a novel workflow to identify human urine biomarkers for drugs of abuse and new psychoactive substances. Metabolites of amphetamine, cocaine, LSD, MDMA, methamphetamine, THC, MDMB‐CHMICA, and MDPPP were first identified in a zebrafish embryo (ZE) metabolism study followed by comparison to most abundant human ...

Mapping molluscan endocrinology: a systematic and critical appraisal
ABSTRACT Historically, a vertebrate‐centric paradigm has framed our interpretation of molluscan endocrinology, with considerable research focusing on vertebrate‐type steroid hormones (e.g. oestrogens, testosterone). However, contradictory evidence on the occurrence of vertebrate‐type steroid hormones in molluscan tissues, and a lack of the specific ...
