Article Abstract
A large family from a small village in Madagascar, Antanetilava, is known to present with colored teeth. Through previous collaboration and 4 successive visits in 1994, 2004, 2005, and 2012, we provided dental care to the inhabitants and diagnosed dentinogenesis imperfecta. Recently, using whole exome sequencing we confirmed the clinical diagnosis by identifying a novel single nucleotide deletion in exon 5 of DSPP. This paper underlines the necessity of long run research, the importance of international and interpersonal collaborations as well as the major contribution of next generation sequencing tools in the genetic diagnosis of rare oro-dental anomalies. This study is registered in ClinicalTrials (https://clinicaltrials.gov) under the number NCT02397824.

Accounting for endoscopic screening in colorectal cancer risk models.
Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev
September 2025
Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, MA, United States.
Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) risk models routinely adjust for endoscopic screening because of a) possible confounding with other risk factors and b) possible alteration of natural history of the disease due to adenoma detection and removal.
Methods: In this study, we defined a subject as screen-covered (SC) if a colonoscopy was performed in the past 10 years, and not screen-covered (NSC) otherwise. We created CRC risk models separately for SC and NSC subjects (HRSC, HRNSC) and then obtained a screening-coverage adjusted HR estimate (HRfull) based on a weighted average of ln(HRSC) and ln(HRNSC) with weight equal to the proportion of SC person-time in the NHS population.
Microbial cell-free DNA for diagnosis of bacterial and fungal infection in the immunocompromised host - what do we know?
Curr Opin Infect Dis
August 2025
Transplant and Immunocompromised Host Infectious Diseases, Department of Medicine, Infectious Diseases Division, Massachusetts General Hospital.
Purpose Of Review: Plasma metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) enables detection of microbial cell-free deoxyribonucleic acid (mcfDNA) in blood without the need for culture or organism-specific primers. Here, we review clinical performance, methodological variability, and real-world application of plasma mNGS for infectious disease diagnosis in immunocompromised hosts (ICHs).
Recent Findings: Plasma mNGS has rapidly gained attention as a novel diagnostic tool for infections in ICHs, offering broad-range pathogen detection from a noninvasive blood sample.
Enzymatic synthesis of inositol plasmalogens from distinct lipid sources using phospholipase D from Streptomyces antibioticus.

Plasmalogens are a subclass of glycerophospholipids characterized by a vinyl-ether bond at the sn-1 position; they play several physiological roles including membrane stabilization, antioxidant activity, and signal transduction. While choline, ethanolamine, serine, and glycerol plasmalogens (PlsCho, PlsEtn, PlsSer, and PlsGro) are naturally abundant, inositol plasmalogens (PlsIns) are rare. In contrast to the limited occurrence of PlsIns, phosphatidylinositol is a biologically crucial lipid, and its enzymatic biosynthesis from phosphatidylcholine has been extensively studied.

Zebrafish models have been used to research Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative disorders because of their similarities to the human genetic composition and behavior. Researchers have detected iron accumulation in the post-mortem brain sections of neurodegenerative disorder patients. Therefore, the development an animal model to simulate these clinical pathological findings is important.

Arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) pose a major threat to global public health, impacting both human and animal health. Genomic characterization is important for arboviruses because it allows for an understanding of their evolution and improves timely outbreak and epidemic response. In this study, we used high-throughput sequencing and computational analyses to characterize the genomes and evolution of 46 previously unsequenced or partially sequenced arbovirus isolates collected across 23 countries between 1954 and 1984.
