The author compared cases of primary schizophrenia in ten countries. In analyzing the data the author used criteria of the ICD-9 and computerized diagnosis of the CATEGO. The differences revealed between the developed and developing countries concerned acute or chronic manifestations of schizophrenia, its clinical form and frequency of individual symptoms. The computer-aided diagnosis of cases failed to identify any discrete subgroup of schizophrenia, which seems to refute the theory of heterogeneity of this disease.

A quantitative model to predict pathogenicity of missense variants in the TP53 gene.
Hum Mutat
June 2019
Sir Peter MacCallum Department of Oncology, University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
Article Synopsis
- Germline pathogenic variants in the TP53 gene lead to Li-Fraumeni syndrome, which increases the risk of various cancers and affects clinical management strategies, including recommending specific treatments and screening programs.
- This study developed a quantitative model that evaluates the pathogenicity of missense variants in the TP53 gene by integrating multiple in silico data sources and calculating likelihood ratios.
- The model successfully classified 730 TP53 missense variants, producing results that aligned with existing clinical data and classifications, suggesting it can enhance personalized cancer risk assessments and aid in variant classification according to ACMG/AMP guidelines.
