The first genome-wide significant multiple sclerosis severity locus, rs10191329, has been pathologically linked to cortical lesion load and brain atrophy. However, observational cohorts such as MSBase have not replicated associations with disability outcomes, instead finding other loci. We evaluated rs10191329 and MSBase loci in a unique cohort of 53 people followed for 30 years after a clinically isolated syndrome, with deep clinical phenotyping and MRI measures of inflammation and neurodegeneration.

- The study investigates the survival outcomes of multiorgan transplants involving heart donations from both donation after circulatory death (DCD) and donation after brain death (DBD) donors.
- A total of 1,844 DBD and 91 DCD heart transplant patients were analyzed, focusing on combinations with other organs like kidneys, livers, and lungs.
- Results showed no significant difference in overall survival rates between DCD and DBD groups, despite longer ischemia times in DCD cases, indicating that DCD organ transplants can be as effective as DBD transplants.
