Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) offers a potential cure for hematologic malignancies, but post-transplant complications, particularly graft--host disease (GVHD), remain major challenges. Regulatory T cells and interleukin-10 () play key roles in immune regulation. This retrospective study investigated the impact of donor -3279 (rs3761548) and -819 (rs1800871) single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on clinical outcomes in 92 allo-HSCT recipients, with emphasis on umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT). Among UCBT recipients, non-C/C and non-T/T donor genotypes were associated with significantly worse progression-free and overall survival, as well as a higher incidence of chronic GVHD. Multivariable analyses confirmed the prognostic impact of these SNPs. These findings suggest that donor-derived SNPs in key immune regulatory genes may influence post-transplant immune reconstitution. and genotyping could serve as useful biomarkers to guide donor selection and risk stratification in UCBT settings, potentially improving transplantation outcomes.

Background: A significant surge in pertussis cases since early 2023 has raised serious public health concerns. To investigate the potential mechanisms contributing to this increased prevalence, we collected throat swab specimens from children exhibiting pertussis symptoms and conducted detailed molecular characterization.
Methods: All Bordetella pertussis (B.

BackgroundGlaucoma is recognized as the second-leading cause of complete blindness in developed countries and a significant contributor to irreversible vision loss worldwide. Understanding the potential genetic links between neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's disease, and glaucoma is crucial for developing preventive strategies.MethodsThis study utilized data from Genome-Wide Association Studies databases, focusing on European populations without gender restrictions.

The mechanism underlying the effects of Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) on missed abortion (MA) remains unclear. This study explored the relationship between PAHs exposure, telomere length (TL), metabolizing enzyme gene polymorphism, and MA in a case-control study with 253 pregnant women. A competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to quantify PAH-DNA adducts.

Purpose: To define the genetic architecture of foveal morphology and explore its relevance to foveal hypoplasia (FH), a hallmark of developmental macular disorders.
Methods: We applied deep-learning algorithms to quantify foveal pit depth from central optical coherence tomography (OCT) B-scans in 61,269 UK Biobank participants. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) was conducted using REGENIE, adjusting for age, sex, height, and ancestry.

Liver abscesses are a concern in feedlot cattle, and little is known about the role of genetics in their development. This study aimed to estimate genetic parameters and to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) associated with liver abscesses. Crossbred cattle representing 18 breeds in the United States Meat Animal Research Center Germplasm Evaluation Program were phenotyped for liver abscesses at slaughter (n = 9,044).
