Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) may be associated with pathologies with severe neuromuscular manifestations such as sporadic late-onset nemaline myopathy (SLONM). We describe a difficult to diagnose case of SLNOM with marked clinical improvement after achieving gammopathy complete hematologic response.

Background: Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is the most common monogenic autoinflammatory disease, associated with MEFV mutations. FMF patients can experience liver involvement, potentially leading to cirrhosis.
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate liver involvement in FMF patients at a French tertiary centre for adult FMF.

Background: The incidence of rectal cancer has decreased overall, but the incidence of early-onset rectal cancer (eoRC) has increased. Early-onset rectal cancer and late-onset rectal cancer (loRC) differ due to phenotypical, genetic characteristics, and higher stage presentations in eoRC. Thus, eoRC patients undergo more aggressive neoadjuvant treatments.

The abnormal deposition of amyloid β (Aβ), produced by proteolytic cleavage events of amyloid precursor protein involving the protease γ-secretase and subsequent polymerization into amyloid plaques, plays a key role in the neuropathology of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Here we show that ErbB3 binding protein 1 (EBP1)/proliferation-associated 2G4 (PA2G4) interacts with presenilin, a catalytic subunit of γ-secretase, inhibiting Aβ production. Mice lacking forebrain Ebp1/Pa2g4 recapitulate the representative phenotypes of late-onset sporadic AD, displaying an age-dependent increase in Aβ deposition, amyloid plaques and cognitive dysfunction.

Background And Objectives: The role of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor 2B (GRIN2B) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in influencing the risk and progression of Parkinson's disease (PD) is still unclear. This study aimed to assess the impact of GRIN2B genotype status on PD susceptibility and symptom progression.
Methods: We enrolled 165 individuals with sporadic PD and 154 healthy controls, all of whom had comprehensive clinical data available at the start and during follow-up.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive, late-onset disease marked by lung scarring and irreversible loss of lung function. Genetic factors significantly contribute to both familial and sporadic cases, yet there are scarce evidence-based studies highlighting the benefits of integrating genetics into the management of IPF patients. In this study, we performed whole-exome sequencing and telomere length (TL) measurements on IPF patients and their relatives.
