Article Abstract
To investigate the association between mtDNA genetic information and the risk of SF, individuals were conducted in the drinking water endemic fluorosis area in northern China, sequenced the whole genome of mtDNA, identified the SNPs and SNVs, analyzed the haplogroups, and diagnosed SF, and then, the effect of mtDNA genetic information on the risk of SF was evaluated. We find that, D5 haplogroup and its specific SNPs reduced the risk, while the D4 haplogroup and its specific SNPs increased the risk of SF. The number of SNVs in coding regions of mitochondrial respiratory chain (MRC) is different between the controls and cases. This suggests that D5 haplogroup may play a protective role in the risk of SF, while the opposite is observed for the D4 haplogroup, this may relate to their specific SNPs. And SNVs that encode the MRC complex may also be associated with the risk of SF.

The big-headed turtle ( ), currently the only extant member of the genus and the family Platysternidae, has undergone severe population declines driven by poaching, illegal trade, and habitat loss, leading to its classification as Critically Endangered (CR) by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Despite its conservation status, persistent taxonomic ambiguities and unresolved phylogenetic relationships have hindered effective protection and management. This study integrated evidence from genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), mitochondrial DNA sequences ( , ), and morphological data to reconstruct the phylogeny and phylogeography of and revise its taxonomy.

Numerous observational studies have suggested links between sex hormones and various autoimmune diseases (ADs). However, the causality of these associations remains uncertain. This study employs Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to investigate the causal relationship between sex hormones and ADs risk.

Purpose: Conduct an overview of systematic reviews of the current fracture risk prediction tools in use.
Material And Methods: We included systematic reviews (SRs) that assessed the predictive ability of any tool, score, algorithm, or other instrument for fracture risk. The primary outcome measure was the area under the curve (AUC) representing predicted fracture risk within a specified timeframe obtained from receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis.
Identification of pathogenic cell types and shared genetic loci and genes for Alzheimer's disease and inflammatory bowel disease.

Background: Comorbidities and genetic correlations between gastrointestinal tract diseases and psychiatric disorders have been widely reported, but the underlying intrinsic link between Alzheimer's disease (AD) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is not adequately understood.
Methods: To identify pathogenic cell types of AD and IBD and explore their shared genetic architecture, we developed Pathogenic Cell types and shared Genetic Loci (PCGL) framework, which studied AD and IBD and its two subtypes of ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD).
Results: We found that monocytes and CD8 T cells were the enriched pathogenic cell types of AD and IBDs, respectively.

Many species from the genus are causative agents of the bacterial zoonosis brucellosis. Until recently, it was generally believed that these bacteria exhibit strict host specificity; however, recent findings suggest otherwise. is an atypical species, no threat to humans, with a broad host spectrum, primarily found in wildlife and rodents, and is the only species isolated from soil, aquatic environments, and frogs, suggesting its environmental persistence and adaptability to diverse ecological niches.
