Acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (ASMD) is an autosomal recessive disease caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in the sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase-1 () gene. Acid sphingomyelinase deficiency is characterized by a spectrum of disease and is broadly divided into three types (ASMD type A, ASMD type A/B, and ASMD type B). More than 220 disease-associated variants have been reported, and genotype/phenotype correlations are limited.

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical and laboratory parameters that can predict the severity of Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) at admission.

Methods: We conducted a single-center, partly retrospective, partly prospective, observational cohort study between November 1, 2020 and December 31, 2021, which included patients aged from 1 month to 19 years, meeting the diagnostic criteria of MIS-C. We categorized the patients into three subgroups based on clinical and laboratory markers and assessed the predictive value of these factors in terms of ICU administration and cardiac abnormalities.

DNA replication is fundamental for cell proliferation in all organisms. Nonetheless, components of the replisome have been implicated in human disease, and here we report encoding the catalytic subunit of DNA primase as a novel disease gene. Using a variant classification agnostic approach, biallelic mutations in PRIM1 were identified in five individuals.

The Juvenile Arthritis Multidimensional Assessment Report (JAMAR) is a new parent/patient-reported outcome measure that enables a thorough assessment of the disease status in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). We report the results of the cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the parent and patient versions of the JAMAR in the Hungarian language. The reading comprehension of the questionnaire was tested in 10 JIA parents and patients.
