Recently, the Intracellular pathogen resistance 1 (Ipr1) gene was shown to control susceptibility to Mycobacterium tuberculosis in mice. We examined whether common sequence variants of its human orthologue, the SP110 gene, are associated with susceptibility to tuberculosis in a human population. We resequenced SP110 exons in 96 individuals and identified new polymorphisms. Then, we combined our sequence and HapMap data for 83 distinct polymorphisms and selected tags that capture information for all common variants in the 100 kb region around SP110. We genotyped 29 single nucleotide polymorphisms including seven amino-acid changing variants in 1,912 HIV-negative culture-confirmed adult pulmonary tuberculosis patients and 2,104 adult healthy controls from Russia and found no evidence of association. Our results indicate that common polymorphisms of the SP110 gene have no major effect on susceptibility to tuberculosis in this population.

Growing research suggests that endometriosis and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are both chronic inflammatory diseases and closely related, but no studies have explored their common molecular characteristics and underlying mechanisms. Based on GEO datasets, differentially expressed genes in the endometriosis cohort and the SLE cohort were screened using Limma and weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), and prediction signatures were constructed using LASSO logistic regression analysis, respectively. Four co-diagnostic genes (PMP22, QSOX1, REV3L, SP110) were identified for endometriosis and SLE.

Article Synopsis
- - Veno-occlusive disease with immunodeficiency (VODI) syndrome is a rare genetic disorder with immune system issues and high mortality, linked to mutations on chromosome 2q37.1, particularly concerning tuberculosis.
- - A case study of a three-year-old girl with suspected immunodeficiency utilized whole-exome sequencing (WES) to find and confirm pathogenic mutations, revealing a novel deletion-insertion mutation affecting the SP110 protein.
- - This research aims to improve the diagnosis of VODI syndrome by identifying various mutations in the SP110 gene, which could lead to targeted therapies and better treatment options.

Unlabelled: Understanding the functions of human transcriptional regulatory genes and during infection is crucial; in a mouse model, homologous genes and have been shown to negatively regulate inflammatory response genes, including the type I interferon (IFN) response. The reduction of these genes in mice is associated with susceptibility to infection and the development of necrotizing granulomatous lesions. To investigate the involvement of and in human inflammatory response, we analyzed their regulatory manner in THP-1 macrophages infected with .

Purpose: NK cells are essential for the detection, identification and prediction of cancer. However, so far, there is no prognostic risk model based on NK cell-related genes to predict the prognosis and treatment outcome of DLBCL patients. This study aimed to explore a risk assessment model that could accurately predict the prognosis and treatment efficacy of DLBCL.

The morbidity of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) has been rising year after year, making it a major global health issue. But the molecular pathogenesis of OSCC is currently unclear. To study the potential pathogenesis of OSCC, the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened, and multiple databases were used to perform the tumor stage, expression, prognosis, protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks, modules, and the functional enrichment analysis.
