encodes three regulatory subunits of class IA phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), each associating with any of three catalytic subunits, namely p110α, p110β, or p110δ. Constitutional mutations cause diseases with a genotype-phenotype relationship not yet fully explained: heterozygous loss-of-function mutations cause SHORT syndrome, featuring insulin resistance and short stature attributed to reduced p110α function, while heterozygous activating mutations cause immunodeficiency, attributed to p110δ activation and known as APDS2. Surprisingly, APDS2 patients do not show features of p110α hyperactivation, but do commonly have SHORT syndrome-like features, suggesting p110α hypofunction.

Introduction: Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), defined as two or more consecutive pregnancy losses before 24 weeks of gestation, affects up to 1%-2% of couples. Aim of this retrospective cohort study was to report the main causes and pregnancy outcomes of a cohort of women with RPL and the efficacy of a personalized work-up and treatment in terms of live birth rate.
Material And Methods: Women with primary (pRPL) and secondary (sRPL) RPL underwent a complete work-up and personalized therapeutic management.

Unlabelled: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the major causes of chronic liver disease worldwide. There are conflicting reports on the association of serum ferritin levels and its utility in discriminating various stages of liver fibrosis in patients with NAFLD. This study is done to address the conflicts by analysing the National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey 2017-2020 (NHANES 2017-2020) data.
