Synthetic cannabinoid receptor agonists (SCRAs) have been a concern to forensic toxicologists since their emergence as drugs of abuse in the mid-late 2000s. The extent of their use in Scotland appears to be low especially when compared to other drug groups such as opioids and benzodiazepines.

MAPT mutations were the first discovered genetic cause of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) in 1998. Since that time, over 60 MAPT mutations have been identified, usually causing behavioral variant FTD and/or parkinsonism clinically. We describe 2 novel MAPT mutations, D252V and G389_I392del, each presenting in a patient with behavioral variant FTD and associated language and cognitive deficits.

Four TEAD transcription factors (TEAD1-4) mediate the signalling output of the Hippo pathway that controls organ size in humans. TEAD transcriptional activity is regulated via interactions with the YAP, TAZ and VGLL proteins. A mutation in the TEAD1 gene, Tyr421His, has been identified in patients suffering from Sveinsson's chorioretinal atrophy (SCA), an autosomal dominant eye disease.
