The initial results of a systematic study conducted in Basel on the existence of relatives with cancer in the families of more than 600 tumour patients indicate that neoplasm of all organs have forms in whose etiology genetic predisposition is an important factor. This is illustrated by the examples of mammary carcinoma, colorectal carcinoma, gastric carcinoma and lymphoproliferative diseases. Research into genetic predisposition to cancer is of practical value in order to protect persons at risk from the serious consequences of malignant tumors, and also of scientific interest because the characterisation of certain tumours can provide a fundamental insight into the pathogenesis of these diseases.

Vascular inflammation regulates endothelial pathophenotypes, particularly in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Dysregulated lysosomal activity and cholesterol metabolism activate pathogenic inflammation, but their relevance to PAH is unclear. Nuclear receptor coactivator 7 () deficiency in endothelium produced an oxysterol and bile acid signature through lysosomal dysregulation, promoting endothelial pathophenotypes.

Background: Although existing studies have identified some genetic loci associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) susceptibility, many variants remain to be discovered. The aim of this study was to further explore the potential relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and COPD risk.
Methods: Nine hundred and ninety-six subjects were recruited (498 COPD cases and 498 healthy controls).

Germline genetic alterations and their associated cancer predisposition syndromes (CPS) are an important cause of pediatric cancer. Early recognition is of great importance for targeted surveillance, early detection, and prompt (personalized) therapeutic interventions. This review provides an overview of non-central nervous system solid pediatric tumor types, in relation to their associated CPS, with an emphasis on their histology.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a global health concern with a rising incidence, particularly in aging populations and those with a genetic predisposition. Over time, DM contributes to various complications, including nephropathy, retinopathy, peripheral arterial disease (PAD), and neuropathy. Among these, diabetic neuropathy and PAD stand out due to their high prevalence and significant impact on patients' quality of life.

Background: There is a paucity of evidence on the association between genetic propensity for hippocampal atrophy with cognitive outcomes. Therefore, we examined the relationship of the polygenic risk score for hippocampal atrophy (PRShp) with the incidence of amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) as well as the rates of cognitive decline.
Methods: Participants were drawn from the population-based HELIAD cohort.
