Context: Primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (PHO) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by skeletal and skin abnormalities. Genetic defects in prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) metabolism are known to cause PHO. However, the global impact and clinical significance of eicosanoids and oxylipins beyond PGE2 remain to be elucidated.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a highly prevalent and debilitating disorder of gut-brain interaction (DGBI) affecting millions globally. It imposes a significant burden on healthcare systems and is a leading cause of workplace absenteeism. IBS is classified into several subtypes based on predominant presenting symptoms, including IBS with constipation (IBS-C) and IBS with diarrhea (IBS-D), with each requiring targeted approaches to treatment.

Background: Lung cancer, categorized into non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC), remains a significant global health challenge. The development of drug resistance and the heterogeneity of the disease necessitate the identification of novel therapeutic targets to improve patient outcomes.
Methods: We conducted a genome-wide Mendelian randomization (MR) and colocalization analysis using a comprehensive dataset of 4,302 druggable genes and cis-expressed quantitative trait loci (cis-eQTLs) from 31,884 blood samples.

Background: Genetic variants and gene expression predict risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but their effect on COPD heterogeneity is unclear. We aimed to define high-risk COPD subtypes using genetics (polygenic risk score, PRS) and blood gene expression (transcriptional risk score, TRS) and assess differences in clinical and molecular characteristics.
Methods: We defined high-risk groups based on PRS and TRS quantiles by maximising differences in protein biomarkers in a COPDGene training set and identified these groups in COPDGene and ECLIPSE test sets.

Due to the heterogeneous nature of depression, the underlying etiological mechanisms greatly differ among individuals, and there are no known subtype-specific biomarkers to serve as precise targets for therapeutic efficacy. The extensive research efforts over the past decades have not yielded much success, and the currently used first-line conventional antidepressants are still ineffective for close to 66% of patients. Most clinicians use trial-and-error treatment approaches, which seem beneficial to only a fraction of patients, with some eventually developing treatment resistance.
