Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2Z is caused by MORC2 mutations and presents with axonal neuropathy. MORC2 mutations can also manifest as developmental delay, impaired growth, dysmorphic facies, and axonal neuropathy (DIGFAN). We report a patient exhibiting an intermediate phenotype between these diseases associated with a novel MORC2 variant. A literature review revealed that the genotype‒phenotype correlation in MORC2-related disorders is complex and that the same mutation can cause a variety of phenotypes.

The genome of the mildly thermophilic hot spring purple sulfur bacterium, (.) , contains a multigene family that encodes a series of α- and β-polypeptides, collectively forming a heterogeneous light-harvesting 1 (LH1) complex. The LH1, therefore, offers a unique model for studying an intermediate phenotype between phototrophic thermophilic and mesophilic bacteria, particularly regarding their LH1 transition and moderately enhanced thermal stability.

The rise of multidrug-resistant (MDR) infections demands personalized antibiotic strategies for febrile neutropenia (FN) in hematological malignancies. This study investigates machine learning (ML) for identifying patient profiles with increased susceptibility to bloodstream infections (BSI) during FN onset, aiming to tailor treatment approaches. From January 2020 to June 2022, we used the unsupervised ML algorithm KAMILA to analyze data from hospitalized hematological malignancy patients.

Oculomotor characteristics, including accuracy, timing, and sensorimotor processing, are considered sensitive intermediate phenotypes for understanding the etiology of neurodevelopmental conditions, such as autism and ADHD. Oculomotor characteristics have predominantly been studied separately in autism and ADHD. Despite the high rates of co-occurrence between these conditions, only one study has investigated oculomotor processes among those with co-occurring autism + ADHD.

Identifying Patient Subgroups in the Heterogeneous Chronic Pain Population Using Cluster Analysis.

J Pain

January 2025

Center for Translational Immunology (CTI), University Medical Center Utrecht, Utrecht University, Utrecht, The Netherlands.

Chronic pain is an ill-defined disease with complex biopsychosocial aspects, posing treatment challenges. We hypothesized that treatment failure results, at least partly, from limited understanding of diverse patient subgroups. We aimed to identify subgroups using psychological variables, allowing for more tailored interventions.
