College of Health and Medicine, Australian National University, Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, Australia.
Background: Frailty is a recognisable clinical measure of impaired physiological reserve and vulnerability to adverse outcomes that is validated among patients with kidney disease. Practice patterns reveal inconsistent use of objective frailty measures by nephrologists, with clinicians prioritising subjective clinical impressions, possibly risking misclassification and discrimination.
Aims: The aim of this study was to examine correlations between subjective and objective measures of frailty in a cohort of patients attending routine nephrologist review.

Article Synopsis
- Brain development involves the coordinated growth of structures necessary for forming neural circuits, with the corpus callosum being a crucial connection between brain hemispheres.
- Defects in the growth process, particularly in the development of callosal projection neurons, can lead to syndromic corpus callosum dysgenesis (CCD) and are associated with other conditions like microcephaly.
- The study identifies WDR47 as a key gene responsible for survival of callosal neurons and highlights its role in mitochondrial and microtubule maintenance, suggesting that mutations in this gene lead to a new neurodevelopmental syndrome involving corpus callosum abnormalities.
