In the era of precision medicine with increasing amounts of sequenced cancer and non-cancer genomes of different ancestries, we here enumerate the resulting polygenic disease entities. Based on the cell number status, we first identified six fundamental types of polygenic illnesses, five of which are non-cancerous. Like complex, non-tumor disorders, neoplasms normally carry alterations in multiple genes, including in 'Drivers' and 'Passengers'.

With the widespread use of diverse modern molecular testing tools, the last two decades have seen significant advances in the classification of soft tissue neoplasms. Specifically, numerous molecularly defined new entities have been introduced and many established older entities have received more insightful molecular studies that have developed their classification further. The discrepant therapeutic and prognostic implications of this evolving complexity of the nosology of neoplastic diseases make the precise subtyping of soft tissue neoplasms unavoidable.

Article Synopsis
- Paraphilias refer to various unusual sexual interests and behaviors that have drawn significant attention and debate, especially as societal views evolve.
- This article explores the history, current diagnostic criteria, legal aspects in India, and treatment options for individuals with paraphilias.
- Research indicates that the classification of paraphilias has changed over time; however, India's laws remain vague, and treatment approaches in psychiatry are not well-established or effectively assessed.
The hierarchical taxonomy of psychopathology and the search for neurobiological substrates of mental illness: A systematic review and roadmap for future research.
J Psychopathol Clin Sci
November 2024
Psychology Department, Georgia State University.
Article Synopsis
- The study critiques traditional psychiatric classifications and proposes the Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology (HiTOP) as a more effective dimensional approach to understanding mental disorders.
- HiTOP is based on quantitative research linking various diagnoses and symptoms, making it potentially more relevant for clinical neuroscience.
- A systematic review of 164 neuroimaging studies found consistent results across multiple levels of psychopathology, indicating HiTOP's promise but also pointing out limitations in the current research landscape.
The Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology (HiTOP) is a dimensional framework for psychopathology advanced by a consortium of nosologists. In the HiTOP system, psychopathology is grouped hierarchically from super-spectra, spectra, and subfactors at the upper levels to homogeneous symptom components and maladaptive traits and their constituent symptoms, and maladaptive behaviors at the lower levels. HiTOP has the potential to improve clinical outcomes by planning treatment based on symptom severity rather than heterogeneous diagnoses, targeting treatment across different levels of the hierarchy, and assessing distress and impairment separately from the observed symptom profile.
