The last decennia have witnessed spectacular advances in our knowledge about the influence of the gut microbiome on the development of a wide swathe of diseases that extend beyond the digestive tract, including skin diseases like psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, acne vulgaris, rosacea, alopecia areata, and hidradenitis suppurativa. The novel concept of the gut-skin axis delves into how skin diseases and the microbiome interact through inflammatory mediators, metabolites, and the intestinal barrier. Elucidating the effects of the gut microbiome on skin health could provide new opportunities for developing innovative treatments for dermatological diseases.

Background: Painful thyroiditis (PT) combines several variants of pathology. The most common is subacute thyroiditis (ST). Despite the prevailing view that the factors underlying the development of ST have an infectious origin, its viral and bacterial pathogeneses remain unclear.

Introduction: Optic disc drusen (ODD) are believed to have a genetic predisposition, with autosomal dominant inheritance pattern with incomplete penetrance suggested through family pedigree analysis. ODD prevalence is higher in certain genetic disorders, such as pseudoxanthoma elasticum and retinitis pigmentosa. This study aimed to identify candidate genes potentially involved in the development of ODD.

Multi-gene panel testing allows efficient detection of pathogenic variants in cancer susceptibility genes including moderate-risk genes such as ATM and PALB2. A growing number of studies examine the risk of breast cancer (BC) conferred by pathogenic variants of these genes. A meta-analysis combining the reported risk estimates can provide an overall estimate of age-specific risk of developing BC, that is, penetrance for a gene.

Gene-environment interactions have been observed for childhood asthma, however few have been assessed in ethnically diverse populations. Thus, we examined how polygenic risk score (PRS) modifies the association between ambient air pollution exposure (nitrogen dioxide [NO], ozone, particulate matter < 2.5 and < 10 μm) and childhood asthma incidence in a diverse cohort.
