Article Abstract
Background: Ischemic stroke (IS), the leading stroke subtype (∼87%), arises from vascular occlusions, triggering brain necrosis through ischemia-reperfusion injury. Ferroptosis, an iron-driven cell death via Fe-mediated lipid peroxidation, is implicated in IS pathology. This study demonstrates that enoyl-coA hydrolase 1 (ECH1) may serve as a peripheral biomarker and therapeutic target for IS based on ferroptosis signaling.
Methods: We integrated transcriptome data from the GEO database with preprocessing and normalization. Hub genes were screened using differential expression analysis and machine learning algorithms. Subsequently, genes were further filtered by mendelian randomization and also validated using transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO) model.
Results: Ferroptosis-related genes in the IS group showed higher expression compared with the healthy control group. Using differential expression analysis and machine learning algorithms, 12 potential hub genes were successfully screened. Mendelian randomization analysis further confirmed the causal association between ECH1 and stroke. In the tMCAO mouse model, ECH1 mRNA levels were down-regulated, consistent with the results of the clinical samples.
Conclusion: In this study, taking ferroptosis as an entry point, ECH1 may serve as a potential peripheral blood biomarker and therapeutic target for IS through multidimensional validation, providing a basis for the development of relevant precision diagnostic strategies.

Dystonia due to pathogenic variants in the THAP1 gene (DYT-THAP1) shows variable expressivity and reduced penetrance of ~ 50%. Since THAP1 encodes a transcription factor, modifiers influencing this variability likely operate at the gene expression level. This study aimed to assess the transferability of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in neuronal cells related to pathogenic variants in the THAP1 gene, which were previously identified by transcriptome analyses.

Unlabelled: is the thermophilic acetogenic bacterium with the highest temperature optimum (66°C) and with high growth rates on hydrogen (H) plus carbon dioxide (CO). The bioenergetic model suggests that its redox and energy metabolism depends on energy-converting hydrogenases (Ech). Its genome encodes two Echs, Ech1 and Ech2, as sole coupling sites for energy conservation during growth on H + CO.

Article Synopsis
- The study aims to find new genetic factors linked to variations in retinal vascular tortuosity, which could help in understanding its impact on certain diseases and their risk factors.
- The research involved analyzing a large dataset of retinal images from over 63,000 participants, utilizing advanced imaging techniques and deep learning for accurate measurement of vessel tortuosity.
- Results showed a significant connection between higher retinal tortuosity and various cardiovascular issues, leading to the identification of 175 genetic loci related to this trait, which could inform future medical studies and interventions.
