- ZIC1 encodes a transcription factor with critical roles in vertebrate neural and skeletal development. Heterozygous deletions encompassing ZIC1 and ZIC4 cause Dandy-Walker malformation, whilst in the final exon heterozygous ZIC1 variants result in a distinct phenotype of craniosynostosis with variable intellectual disability via a gain-of-function mechanism. We describe the largest group of individuals harboring ZIC1 variants to date, significantly expanding the phenotypic spectrum and allowing genotype-phenotype correlation. - Source: PubMed

This study investigated the genome-wide CNV landscape of three Vietnamese indigenous chicken breeds. Whole-genome sequencing on the Illumina platform (3-5× coverage) was performed on 24 individuals from Dong Tao (DT), Cay Cum (CC), and Ri (RI) breeds. A total of 1743 CNVs were detected, clustering into 315 copy number variation regions (CNVRs). Most CNVRs were rare, with 31.7% present in only one animal among breeds. Across the genome, 122 unique CNVRs were distributed over 28 chromosomes, predominantly the first five. Losses were the most frequent type (45.9%), followed by gains (39.3%), and mixed events (14.8%). Within these CNVRs, 3633 genes were identified. In DT and RI, CNVR-embedded genes included several candidates, potentially related to adaptability, development, and phenotypic diversification. Notably, DT harbored genes such as , , , (adaptation, stress/immune response) and , , , , , , , and (developmental and skeletal traits), whereas in RI they included genes such as , , , and , which may contribute to muscle, bone, and physiological regulation. Functional enrichment analysis revealed numerous genes and Quantitative Trait Loci (QTLs) associated with metabolic, developmental, and immune-related pathways. This study provides the first comprehensive genome-wide CNV profile of Vietnamese indigenous chickens and offers a valuable genomic resource for investigating the genetic basis of breed-specific and adaptive phenotypes. - Source: PubMed

The aim of this study was to prospectively evaluate the association of baseline neural antibodies with immune-related adverse events (irAEs) - including neurological irAEs (n-irAEs) - and oncological outcomes in patients with SCLC following ICI therapy. - Source: PubMed

Rossi SimoneAndrini ElisaRinaldi RitaSilvestri TaniaFormelli Maria GiovannaDi Odoardo AdrianaLenzi BarbaraGuarino MariaCampana DavideLamberti Giuseppe - The expression of NPTX2, a neuronal immediate early gene (IEG) essential for excitatory-inhibitory balance, is altered in the earliest stages of cognitive decline that anticipate Alzheimer's disease (AD). Here, we use NPTX2 as a point of reference for Omics studies to identify genes and pathways linked to its position in AD onset and progression. We integrated bulk RNA sequencing from 575 middle temporal gyrus (MTG) samples across four cohorts together with targeted proteomics in the same samples using parallel reaction monitoring-mass spectrometry in 135 representative cases, focusing on 20 curated proteins spanning synaptic, trafficking, lysosomal, and regulatory categories. NPTX2 RNA and protein were significantly reduced in AD, and to a lesser extent in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) samples. BDNF, VGF, SST, and SCG2 correlated with both NPTX2 mRNA and protein. We identified NPTX2 correlated synaptic and mitochondrial programs that were negatively correlated with lysosomal and chromatin/stress modules. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) of NPTX2 correlations across all samples confirmed broad alignment with synaptic and mitochondrial compartments, while more NPTX2-specific associations were observed with proteostasis and translation regulator pathways, which were weakened in AD. In contrast, correlation of NPTX2 protein with transcriptomic profiles revealed negative associations with stress-linked transcription regulator RNAs (FOXJ1, ZHX3, SMAD5, JDP2, ZIC4), which were strengthened in AD. Studies position NPTX2 as a hub of an activity-regulated "plasticity cluster" (BDNF, VGF, SST, SCG2) that encompasses interneuron function and is embedded on a neuronal/mitochondrial integrity axis that is inversely coupled to lysosomal/chromatin-stress programs. In AD, these transcript-level correlations broadly weaken, and stress-linked transcriptional regulators become more prominent, suggesting a role in NPTX2 loss of function. - Source: PubMed
