Objective: To investigate the distribution of the CYP1B1 (Cytochrome P450, family 1, subfamily B, polypeptide 1) gene mutations in primary congenital glaucoma (PCG) in Hunan Province.
Methods: Case-control study. Thirteen cases of PCG from different districts of Hunan province were collected in this study. Direct sequencing was used to evaluate the coding and the promoter regions of the CYP1B1 gene in PCG patients.
Results: A novel pathogenic mutation (c.C319G, L107V) was identified in a PCG patient in our study and it was a missense mutation in exon 2. Additionally, four single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs) were found in PCG patients, including R48G, A119S, V432L and D449D.
Conclusion: A novel CYP1B1 gene mutation (L107V) may be the cause for primary congenital glaucoma in Hunan Province.

Human activities and climate change have significantly increased humic substances in freshwater ecosystems over the last few decades. This increase is particularly concerning during seasonal changes or after heavy rainfall, when concentrations can easily increase up to tenfold. This phenomenon, known as "browning," has unknown consequences for aquatic organisms.

The auxin-inducible degron (AID) system is widely used to study function of various proteins. The plant hormone auxin is used as an inducer in this system, which easily penetrates into the cells and causes proteasomal degradation of the protein of interest fused to a small degron tag. It is often assumed that as a plant hormone, auxin does not significantly affect physiology of animal cells.

Objective: The purpose of the current study was to develop and validate a biomarker-based prediction model for metastasis in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC).
Methods: Two datasets, GSE68468 and GSE41568, were retrieved from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. In the GSE68468 dataset, key biomarkers were identified through a screening process involving differential expression analysis, redundancy analysis, and recursive feature elimination technique.

Obesity exacerbates the risk and aggressiveness of many types of cancer. Adipose tissue (AT) represents a prevalent component of the tumor microenvironment (TME) and contributes to cancer development and progression. Reciprocal communication between cancer and adipose cells leads to the generation of cancer-associated adipocytes (CAAs), which in turn foster tumor invasiveness by producing paracrine metabolites, adipocytokines, and growth factors.

Parkinson's disease (PD) and insomnia are prevalent neurological disorders, with emerging evidence implicating tryptophan (TRP) metabolism in their pathogenesis. However, the precise mechanisms by which TRP metabolism contributes to these conditions remain insufficiently elucidated. This study explores shared tryptophan metabolism-related genes (TMRGs) and molecular mechanisms underlying PD and insomnia, aiming to provide insights into their shared pathogenesis.
