Article Abstract
Recent advances in human genetics have shed light on the genetic factors contributing to inflammatory diseases, particularly Crohn's disease (CD), a prominent form of inflammatory bowel disease. Certain risk genes associated with CD directly influence cytokine biology and cell-specific communication networks. Current CD therapies primarily rely on anti-inflammatory drugs, which are inconsistently effective and lack strategies for promoting epithelial restoration and mucosal balance. To understand CD's underlying mechanisms, we investigated the link between CD and the FGFR1OP gene, which encodes a centrosome protein. FGFR1OP deletion in mouse intestinal epithelial cells disrupted crypt architecture, resulting in crypt loss, inflammation, and fatality. FGFR1OP insufficiency hindered epithelial resilience during colitis. FGFR1OP was crucial for preserving non-muscle myosin II activity, ensuring the integrity of the actomyosin cytoskeleton and crypt cell adhesion. This role of FGFR1OP suggests that its deficiency in genetically predisposed individuals may reduce epithelial renewal capacity, heightening susceptibility to inflammation and disease.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines the genetic connection between autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) and oral lichen planus (OLP), which may reveal how these conditions are related.
- A two-step Mendelian randomization analysis identified that AITD may increase the risk of developing OLP, possibly influenced by hypothyroidism and shared genetic factors, particularly the PTPN22 gene.
- The research emphasizes the importance of understanding endocrine changes in oral health, suggesting a need for further investigation to confirm these findings.

Prostate cancer (PC) is a fatally aggressive urogenital cancer killing millions of men, globally. Thus, this study aims to identify key miRNAs, target genes, and drug targets associated with prostate cancer metastasis. The miRNA and mRNA expression datasets of 148 prostate tissue biopsies (39 tumours and 109 normal tissues), were analysed by differential gene expression analysis, protein interactome mapping, biological pathway analysis, miRNA-mRNA networking, drug target analysis, and survival curve analysis.

Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is a chronic cholestatic autoimmune liver disease that appears to be strongly influenced by genetic factors. Recently, an international meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) identified CC-Motif Chemokine Receptor-6 (CCR6) and FGFR1 Oncogene-Partner (FGFR1OP) as PBC-susceptibility genes. However, the lead single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of CCR6/FGFR1OP showed low linkage disequilibrium with each other in East Asian and European populations.

Skeletal dysplasias are a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of bone and cartilage disorders. A total of 436 skeletal dysplasias are listed in the 2015 revised version of the nosology and classification of genetic skeletal disorders, of which nearly 20% are still genetically and molecularly uncharacterized. We report the clinical and molecular characterization of a lethal skeletal dysplasia of the short-rib group caused by mutation of the mouse Fop gene.
