The one-dimensional model of Hann et al. (JChem Inf Comput Sci 41(3):856–864) has been extended to include reverse binding and wrap-around interaction modes between the protein and ligand to explore the complete combinatorial matrix of molecular recognition. The cumulative distribution function of the Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution has been used to calculate the probability of measuring the sensitivity of the interactions as the asymptotic limits of the distribution better describe the behavior of the interactions under experimental conditions. Based on our model, we hypothesized that molecules of lower complexity are preferred for target based screening campaigns, while augmenting such a library with moieties of moderate complexities maybe better suited for phenotypic screens. The validity of the hypothesis has been assessed via the analysis of the hit rate profiles for four ChemBL datasets for enzymatic and phenotypic screens.

Background: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is increasingly prevalent, yet longitudinal outcome data are scarce. This study aimed to characterise demographic and longitudinal clinical changes in a cohort of patients with IIH.

Methods: Retrospective cohort analysis on adult patients diagnosed with IIH (Friedman criteria) enrolled in the neuro-ophthalmology database (NODE) across two tertiary centres.

Diagnosis of hereditary ataxias: a real-world single center experience.

J Neurol

January 2025

Neurological Institute, Department of Clinical and Experimental Medicine, University of Pisa, Pisa, Italy.

Objective: This study aims to evaluate our experience in the diagnosis of hereditary ataxias (HAs), to analyze data from a real-world scenario.

Study Design: This is a retrospective, cross-sectional, descriptive study conducted at a single Italian adult neurogenetic outpatient clinic, in 147 patients affected by ataxia with a suspicion of hereditary forms, recruited from November 1999 to February 2024. A stepwise approach for molecular diagnostics was applied: targeted gene panel (TP) next-generation sequencing (NGS) and/or clinical exome sequencing (CES) were performed in the case of inconclusive first-line genetic testing, such as short tandem repeat expansions (TREs) testing for most common spinocerebellar ataxias (SCA1-3, 6-8,12,17, DRPLA), other forms [Fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS), Friedreich ataxia (FRDA) and mitochondrial DNA-related ataxia, RFC1-related ataxia/CANVAS] or inconclusive phenotype-guided specific single gene sequencing.

Clinical and imaging spectrum of non-congenital dominant ACTN2 myopathy.

J Neurol

January 2025

Department of Neurology and Neurosciences, Donostia University Hospital, Biogipuzkoa Health Research Institute, Donostia-San Sebastián, Spain.

Background: Alpha-actinin-2, a protein with high expression in cardiac and skeletal muscle, is located in the Z-disc and plays a key role in sarcomere stability. Mutations in ACTN2 have been associated with both hypertrophic and dilated cardiomyopathy and, more recently, with skeletal myopathy.

Methods: Genetic, clinical, and muscle imaging data were collected from 37 patients with an autosomal dominant ACTN2 myopathy belonging to 11 families from Spain and Belgium.

Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis 11 (CLN11) presenting with early-onset cone-rod dystrophy and learning difficulties.

Neurogenetics

January 2025

Department of Neuroscience and Behavioural Sciences, School of Medicine at Ribeirão Preto, University of São Paulo, Bandeirantes Av. 3900, Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, 14040-900, Brazil.

Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis 11 (CLN11) is an ultra-rare subtype of adult-onset Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis. Its phenotype is variable and not fully known. A 21-year-old man was evaluated in our neurogenetic outpatient clinic for early onset complex phenotype, including learning difficulties, cerebellar ataxia, cone-rod dystrophy, epilepsy, and dystonia.

Prevalence of pathogenic variants of inborn errors of immunity in critically ill children admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit for sepsis: A Moroccan cohort study.

University Hassan II of Casablanca, Faculty of medicine and pharmacy of Casablanca, Abderrahim HAROUCHI Mother-child hospital, Pediatric Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Unit, Laboratory of clinical immunology, inflammation and allergy (LICIA), Casablanca, Morocco.

Introduction: Pediatric sepsis remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Africa. Nearly half of pediatric sepsis deaths occur in previously healthy children. The role of inborn errors of immunity (IEI) in susceptibility to sepsis is yet to be identified and their prevalence amongst previously healthy children admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) is unclear.
