Purpose: Rare diseases occur in <50 per 100000 people and require lifelong management. However, essential epidemiological data on such diseases are lacking, and a consecutive monitoring system across time and regions remains to be established. Standardized digital phenotypes are required to leverage an international data network for research on rare endocrine diseases. We developed digital phenotypes for rare endocrine diseases using the observational medical outcome partnership common data model.

Materials And Methods: Digital phenotypes of three rare endocrine diseases (medullary thyroid cancer, hypoparathyroidism, pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma) were validated across three databases that use different vocabularies: Severance Hospital's electronic health record from South Korea; IQVIA's United Kingdom (UK) database for general practitioners; and IQVIA's United States (US) hospital database for general hospitals. We estimated the performance of different digital phenotyping methods based on International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-10 in the UK and the US or systematized nomenclature of medicine clinical terms (SNOMED CT) in Korea.

Results: The positive predictive value of digital phenotyping was higher using SNOMED CT-based phenotyping than ICD-10-based phenotyping for all three diseases in Korea (e.g., pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma: ICD-10, 58%-62%; SNOMED CT, 89%). Estimated incidence rates by digital phenotyping were as follows: medullary thyroid cancer, 0.34-2.07 (Korea), 0.13-0.30 (US); hypoparathyroidism, 0.40-1.20 (Korea), 0.59-1.01 (US), 0.00-1.78 (UK); and pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma, 0.95-1.67 (Korea), 0.35-0.77 (US), 0.00-0.49 (UK).

Conclusion: Our findings demonstrate the feasibility of developing digital phenotyping of rare endocrine diseases and highlight the importance of implementing SNOMED CT in routine clinical practice to provide granularity for research.

Two Gram-stain-positive, oxidase-negative, non-motile and rod-shaped strains (ASV49 and ASV81) were isolated from a waste landfill in Shanghai, China. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the two strains are associated with members of the genus . Strains ASV49 and ASV81 were most closely related to JCM 31396 and CCTCC AA 2018025 with 98.

Haplotype-based analysis distinguishes maternal-fetal genetic contribution to pregnancy-related outcomes.

Genotype-based approaches for the estimation of SNP-based narrow-sense heritability ([Formula: see text]) have limited utility in pregnancy-related outcomes due to confounding by the shared alleles between mother and child. Here, we propose a haplotype-based approach to estimate the genetic variance attributable to three haplotypes - maternal transmitted ([Formula: see text]), maternal non-transmitted ([Formula: see text]) and paternal transmitted ([Formula: see text]) in mother-child pairs. We show through extensive simulations that our haplotype-based approach outperforms the conventional and contemporary approaches for resolving the contribution of maternal and fetal effects, particularly when m1 and p1 have different effects in the offspring.

A novel bacterial strain, designated Dechloromonas aquae ZY10, was isolated from the aquaculture water of grass carp. The colonies exhibited diameters ranging from approximately 1 to 3 mm and were characterized by a creamy-white coloration, circular shape, smooth texture, translucency, and a convex profile. The cells were facultatively anaerobic and motile, utilizing a single polar flagellum for movement.
