We sequenced the envelope gene of dengue virus serotype 2 (DENV-2-E) in samples from an outbreak reported in 2018, in Yurimaguas, Peru. The strain belongs to lineage 2 of the American/Asian genotype. We report a variant with two novel mutations (I379T and V484I) located in domain III of DENV2-E.

Background: Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma (PTC) is the most common thyroid cancer, with an etiology and progression that are not fully understood. Research suggests a link between cathepsins and PTC, but the causal nature of this link is unclear. This study uses Mendelian Randomization (MR) to investigate if cathepsins causally influence PTC risk.

Introduction/objectives: Genetic variations could explain individual responses to drugs. This case-control study aimed to investigate the association between the multidrug resistance 1 (MDR1) gene exonic single nucleotide variants (SNVs), rs1128503/C1236T and rs1045642/C3435T, and the response to intravenous methylprednisolone in Egyptian patients with active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
Method: Real-time polymerase chain reaction was used.

Nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC), although rare in young individuals worldwide, is significantly influenced by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Considering EBV's widespread prevalence, understanding its role in NPC's future occurrence, disease progression, clinical symptoms, metastatic tendencies, and prognosis is crucial. In this study, we extensively analyzed two young patients with NPC, who displayed distinct clinical features.

Background: Andersen-Tawil syndrome (ATS) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder caused by variants in the gene. It is associated with periodic paralysis, dysmorphic features and cardiac arrhythmias. The syndrome exhibits incomplete penetrance, leading to a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations, making diagnosis challenging.
