Article Synopsis
  • Early-life exposure to famine is linked to a higher risk of osteoporosis, fractures, and decreased bone mineral density (BMD) in later life, indicating significant long-term health impacts.
  • A systematic review and meta-analysis of 10 studies revealed that individuals exposed to famine during critical developmental periods had greater odds of developing osteoporosis (2.12 times) and experiencing fractures (1.58 times) compared to those not exposed.
  • Key findings suggest that exposure during fetal and childhood stages has particularly strong associations with poor bone health outcomes, highlighting the importance of early nutrition and health interventions.

Objectives: Pseudohypoaldosteronism type 1 (PHA1) has two genetically distinct variants, including renal and systemic forms. Systemic PHA type I (PHA1B) has varying degrees of clinical presentation and results from mutations in genes encoding subunits of the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) including the alpha, beta, and gamma subunits. To date, about 45 variants of PHA1B have been identified.

The significant functional role of circular RNAs (circRNAs) in the progression of malignant tumors, including ovarian cancer, has been shown in various studies. In this study, we aimed to investigate the abnormal expression of hsa_circ_0008285 and its role in ovarian cancer pathogenesis. Quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blot methods were used to detect the expression of hsa_circ_0008285 and some target genes in ovarian cancer tissues and related cell lines.

Introduction: Osteoporosis-pseudoglioma syndrome (OPPG) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by severe osteoporosis and eye abnormalities that leads to vision loss. In this study, we report the outcome of a short period of treatment with teriparatide in one patient with OPPG.

Case Presentation: The patient was a 17-year-old girl who suffered a bone fracture at the age of two and was diagnosed with OPPG at the age of three.

Osteoporosis-pseudoglioma syndrome (OPPG) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by severe osteoporosis and eye abnormalities that lead to vision loss. In this study, clinical findings and genetic study of two siblings with OPPG are presented. Whole exome sequencing of DNA enriched for exonic regions was performed with SureSelect 38Mbp all exon kit v.
