Background And Objectives: Pathogenic variants are associated with neurodevelopmental disorders and developmental and epileptic encephalopathy. While pediatric phenotypes have been readily explored, adult phenotypes are not well understood. We aimed to investigate the phenotypic spectrum of adult patients with variants.

Objectives: To compare the diagnostic performance of international hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) guidelines with gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI (EOB-MRI) and contrast-enhanced Computed tomography (CECT) and their impact on liver transplant (LT) allocation in cirrhotic patients with explant histopathology correlation.

Methods: In this prospective single-centre ethics-approved study, 101 cirrhotic patients were consecutively enrolled with informed consent from the pre-LT clinic. They underwent CECT and EOB-MRI alternately at three monthly intervals until LT or removal from LT list.

We previously showed that congenic bone marrow transplantation (BMTx) post myeloablation augmented tissue allograft survival in association with increased regulatory T (Treg) cells of both host and bone marrow donor origin. Regulatory B (Breg) cells can also modulate T-cell immunity and B cells may be implicated in the development of Treg cells. Accordingly, we explored the effect of B-cell depletion in vivo on augmented graft survival post BMTx.

Significant barriers to transplantation exist for individuals who are pre-sensitized to donor antigen and have high titres of donor-reactive antibody. We report the effect of autologous bone marrow transplantation (BMTx) after myeloablation in pre-sensitized mice along with the use of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to tumour necrosis factor-receptor super family 25 (TNFRSF25), expressed on regulatory T (Treg) cells. C57BL/6 mice, which had been sensitized earlier with BALB/c skin allografts, received secondary BALB/c grafts after the primary grafts had been rejected.
