Background: In 2015, Illinois added Fabry disease to the newborn screening (NBS) panel, and numerous individuals who have the controversial p.A143T GLA variant were identified. Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago identified 80 individuals with this variant.
Summary: Of the 80 individuals, 34/80 were identified by NBS, 2/80 were identified by gene panel testing, and 44/80 were identified by cascade testing. These individuals were from 36 families and ranged in age from 7 months to 71 years. Most individuals identified by NBS were male (90.9%) and 35.96% had the p.A143T variant. All newborns with known pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants in GLA had enzyme leukocyte activities below 20% of the percentage of mean of normal. This threshold could serve as a guideline for determining risk of symptom development for p.A143T and other variants of unknown significance. No person with p.A143T had significant lyso-GL3 elevation in this cohort.
Key Messages: These data suggest the variant impacts enzyme levels, but its effect on health outcomes remains unclear. We further characterize clinical and biochemical data on individuals with the p.A143T GLA variant to help provide guidance on its clinical significance.

Aberrant activation of fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs) plays a critical role in tumorigenesis across multiple cancer types, driving the development of various FGFR inhibitors. Despite clinical advances, therapeutic efficacy remains limited by the emergence of drug resistance, primarily mediated by gatekeeper mutations in FGFRs. To overcome this challenge, we designed and synthesized a novel series of 7-(1-methyl-1-indole-3-yl)-5-pyrrolo[2,3-]pyrazine derivatives as covalent pan-FGFR inhibitors targeting both wild-type and gatekeeper mutants.

Importance: Pregnant individuals with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) present with a higher risk of pregnancy complications, including gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, and preterm birth. Myo-inositol supplementation may reduce these risks.
Objective: To determine whether daily supplementation with myo-inositol during pregnancy among individuals with PCOS reduces the risk of a composite outcome of gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, and preterm birth.

Importance: The cardiovascular benefits of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) may vary by body mass index (BMI), but evidence on BMI-specific outcomes remains limited.
Objective: To investigate the associations of GLP-1 RA use with cardiovascular and kidney outcomes across BMI categories in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This retrospective cohort study used the Chang Gung Research Database, a clinical dataset covering multiple hospitals in Taiwan.

The emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) Escherichia coli in poultry farming is a growing global public health concern, particularly in Bangladesh, where the use of antibiotics remains largely unregulated. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and AMR patterns of E. coli isolated from broiler chickens in Sylhet district of Bangladesh and to investigate the network of coexisting resistance traits among the isolates.
