Introduction: Levocarnitine is essential for brain functioning and fatty acid metabolism and stems largely from dietary sources. The Epsilon-Trimethyllysine Hydroxylase () gene encodes the enzyme N-Trimethyllysine hydroxylase (TMLH) which catalyses the first step in the biosynthesis of carnitine. Lack of TMLH enzyme activity is associated with developmental delay and autistic behaviours described as X-linked recessive autism, type 6 (OMIM#300872).

(Mtb) is the pathogenic agent of tuberculosis (TB). Intracellular survival plays a central role in the pathogenesis of Mtb in a manner that is dependent on an array of transcriptional regulators for Mtb. However, the functionality of JTY_0672, a member of the TetR family of transcriptional regulators, remains unknown.

Eculizumab proved a strong anti-inflammatory effect in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD), rare autoimmune diseases affecting the central nervous system in which aquaporin 4-immunoglobulin G (AQP4-IgG) is the main pathogenic antibody. Pregnancy in NMOSD patients is considered at high-risk for neurological and gynecological outcomes, requiring a careful consideration about treatment maintenance. In this case report, we describe a successful pregnancy, resulting in the birth of a healthy child, in a young woman with AQP4-IgG-seropositive NMOSD who was maintained on eculizumab during all pregnancy.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major health problem the world face currently and one of the leading causes of death worldwide. CRC is genetically heterogeneous and multiple genetic aberrations may appear on course of the disease throughout patient's lifetime. Genetic biomarkers such as BRAF, KRAS, and NRAS may provide early precision treatment options that are crucial for patient survival and well-being.

Interferon regulatory factor 2 binding protein-like (IRF2BPL) is a single-exon gene that is ubiquitously expressed in various tissues, including the brain. IRF2BPL encodes a transcription factor with two zinc-finger domains that potentially downregulate WNT signaling in the nervous system. Pathogenic IRF2BPL variants have been reported to cause developmental delay, seizures, myoclonus epilepsies, autistic spectrum disorder, and other neurodevelopmental disorders.
