Background: Thyroid cancer is a prevalent malignant tumor, especially with a higher incidence in women. Tumor microenvironment changes induced by inflammation and alterations in metabolic characteristics are critical in the development of thyroid cancer. Nevertheless, their causal relationships remain unclear.

Genome-Wide Scan of Fifth Finger Clinodactyly.

Mol Genet Genomic Med

March 2025

Center for Craniofacial and Dental Genetics, Department of Oral and Craniofacial Sciences, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA.

Background: Fifth finger clinodactyly describes the conspicuous curvature of the fifth digit toward the other digits of the hand. Phenotypic expression can range from mild and almost imperceptible to severe, where function is impacted, and clinical intervention may be required. Although classically considered an autosomal dominant trait based on early family studies, no genes have been mapped for the trait.

Comprehensive causal analysis between autoimmune diseases and glioma: A Mendelian randomization study.

Medicine (Baltimore)

March 2025

Department of Neurosurgery, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan, China.

The causal association between the autoimmune disease and the development of glioma and its subtypes remains unclear. We performed a comprehensive Mendelian randomization (MR) to clarify their causal association from genetic perspective. We obtained the summary-level datasets for autoimmune diseases from recently published genome-wide association studies in the UK Biobank (UKB) and the FinnGen consortium.

Mitochondrial dysfunction has been implicated in the pathogenesis of aortic aneurysms (AA); however, the causal role of mitochondrial-related proteins remains unclear. This study employs a Mendelian randomization (MR) approach to investigate the potential causal relationship between mitochondrial proteins and AA. Genetic instruments for mitochondrial proteins were obtained from the IEU Open genome-wide association study database, while AA-related genetic data were sourced from the FinnGen biobank.
