Unraveling the shared genetics of common epilepsies and general cognitive ability
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Purpose Cognitive impairment is prevalent among individuals with epilepsy, and increasing evidence indicates that genetic factors can underlie this relationship. However, the extent to which epilepsy subtypes differ in ... -
A high polygenic risk score is associated with SSA/SSB antibody positivity and early onset in primary Sjögren’s disease
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Objectives To calculate a polygenic risk score (PRS) based on single nucleotide variants (SNVs) previously associated with primary Sjögren’s disease (SjD) with genome-wide significance and determine the genetic risk for ... -
Cortisol and C-reactive protein (CRP) regulation in severe mental disorders
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2025)Background People with schizophrenia (SZ) and bipolar disorder (BD) show abnormalities in the biological stress system and low-grade inflammation. However, whether the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis-immune ... -
Constitutional BRCA1 Epimutations: A Key for Understanding Basal-Like Breast and High-Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Germline pathogenic genetic variants in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are the most frequent causes of familial breast and ovarian cancer. Contrasting BRCA2, epimutations in the BRCA1 gene are frequently detected in tissue from ... -
Diagnosing Myocardial Injury in an Acute Chest Pain Cohort; Long-Term Prognostic Implications of Cardiac Troponin T and I
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Background There are limited data regarding the utility of follow-up cardiac troponin (cTn) measurements after admission for acute chest pain and how long-term stability of myocardial injury and prognostic value differ ... -
Elevated levels of peripheral and central nervous system immune markers reflect innate immune dysregulation in autism spectrum disorder
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Background: Evidence suggests dysregulated immune functions in the pathophysiology of Autism spectrum disorder (ASD), although specific immune mechanisms are yet to be identified. Methods: We assessed circulating levels ... -
Cell identity dynamics and insight into insulin secretagogues when employing stem cell-derived islets for disease modeling
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Stem cell-derived islets (SC-islets) are not only an unlimited source for cell-based therapy of type 1 diabetes but have also emerged as an attractive material for modeling diabetes and conducting screening for treatment ... -
Genetic associations of neuropathic pain and sensory profile in a deeply phenotyped neuropathy cohort
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)We aimed to investigate the genetic associations of neuropathic pain in a deeply phenotyped cohort. Participants with neuropathic pain were cases and compared with those exposed to injury or disease but without neuropathic ... -
Functional Characterization of ABCA4 Missense Variants Aids Variant Interpretation and Phenotype Prediction in Patients With ABCA4-Retinal Dystrophies
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Purpose: Biallelic pathogenic variants in the gene encoding the ATP-binding cassette transporter ABCA4 are the leading cause of irreversible vision loss in inherited retinal dystrophies (IRDs). Interpretation of ABCA4 ... -
Dissecting the Shared Genetic Architecture of Common Epilepsies With Cortical Brain Morphology
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Background and Objectives: Epilepsies are associated with differences in cortical thickness (TH) and surface area (SA). However, the mechanisms underlying these relationships remain elusive. We investigated the extent to ... -
Interferon autoantibodies as signals of a sick thymus
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Type I interferons (IFN-I) are key immune messenger molecules that play an important role in viral defense. They act as a bridge between microbe sensing, immune function magnitude, and adaptive immunity to fight infections, ... -
