Interestingly, rs4747203, an intronic variant potentially linked to PSAP expression, was associated with reduced risk for PD (p = 8.6e-7 in GnomAD EAS and p = 0.002 in Chinese). Clinically, patients carrying the likely pathogenic variants presented typical PD motor symptoms and responded well to levodopa treatment. Six out of seven patients carrying the likely pathogenic variants of PSAP presented slow disease progression, and none of the patients developed cognitive impairment. Our study expands the spectrum of mutations associated with the risk of developing PD and enhances the understanding of the relationship of the clinical phenotype of PD with PSAP variants.The rational of conservation and sustainable use of indigenous chicken (IC) resources requires their morphobiometrical characterisation. This study morphobiometrically characterised the IC ecotypes in Rwanda. The morphological features and zoometric measurement data were randomly collected on 1670 mature IC of both sexes from five ecotypes of Rwanda. check details The nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U test were used in evaluating the effect of ecotypes on the qualitative morphological variables. Zoometric measurements were analysed with the PROC GLM of SAS. The findings showed that the feather morphology and distribution were mainly normal (98.3 and 84.40%, respectively) while feather colour was dominated with multicoloured (38.10%). The majority of the birds had red earlobe (49.20%), yellow shanks (53.80%) and single comb-type (71.70%). These parameters were different (p  less then  0.05) between the ecotypes. Bodyweight and linear body measurements were highly different (P  less then  0.001) between ecotypes. Differences associated with sex (P  less then  0.001) were observed in body weight and linear body measurements. The interaction between ecotype and sex significantly (P  less then  0.001) influenced body weight, body length, shank length, comb length, comb height, wattle length, chest circumference, neck length and wingspan. The IC ecotypes in Rwanda were found to be diverse morphobiometrically both in quantitative and qualitative traits. These variations provide a foundation for classification of the chicken into breeds.
Little is known regarding the mutation profiles of ctDNA in the older adult breast cancer population. The objective of this study is to assess differences in mutation profiles in the older adult breast cancer population using a ctDNA assay as well as assess utilization of testing results.

Patients with advanced breast cancer underwent molecular profiling using a plasma-based ctDNA NGS assay (Guardant360) between 5/2015 and 10/2019 at Siteman Cancer Center. The profiling results of a multi-institutionaldatabase of patients with advanced breast cancer who had undergone molecular profiling were obtained. Associations between mutations and age group (≥ 65 vs. < 65) were examined using a Fisher's exact test.

In the single-institutional cohort, 148 patients (69.2%) were < 65years old and 66 patients (30.8%) ≥ 65years old. ATM, BRAF, and PIK3CA mutations were found more frequently in older patients with ER + HER2- breast cancers (p < 0.01). In the multi-institutionalcohort, 5367 (61.1%) were < 65years old and 3417 (38.9%) ≥ 65years old. ATM, PIK3CA, and TP53 mutations were more common in the older cohort (p < 0.0001) and MYC and GATA3 mutations were less common in the older cohort (p < 0.0001). CtDNA testing influenced next-line treatment management in 40 (19.8%) patients in the single-institutional cohort.

When controlling for subtype, results from a single institution were similar to themulti-institutional cohort showing that ATM and PIK3CA were more common in older adults. These data suggest there may be additional molecular differences in older adults with advanced breast cancers.

To analyze anatomic features and associated malformations in 37 prenatally detected cases of congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (ccTGA) and to evaluate the prenatal course, neonatal outcome and mid-term follow-up.

Retrospective analysis of prenatal ultrasound of 37 patients with ccTGA in two tertiary centers between 1999 and 2019. All fetuses received fetal echocardiography and a detailed anomaly scan. Postnatal outcome and follow-up data were retrieved from pediatric reports.

Isolated ccTGA without associated cardiac anomalies was found in 13.5% (5/37), in all other fetuses additional defects such as VSD (73.0%), pulmonary obstruction (35.1%), tricuspid valve anomalies (18.9%), aortic arch anomalies (13.5%), ventricular hypoplasia (5.4%) or atrioventricular block (5.4%) were present. The rate of extracardiac malformations or chromosomal aberrations was low. There were 91.9% (34/37) live births and postnatal survival rates reached 91.2% in a mean follow-up time of 4.98years. The prenatal diagnosis of ccTGA was confirmed postnatally in all but one documented live birth and the prenatal counselling regarding the expected treatment after birth (uni- versus biventricular repair) was reassured in the majority of cases. The postnatal intervention rate was high, 64.7% (22/34) received surgery, the intervention-free survival was 36.7%, 35.0% and 25.0% at 1month, 1year and 10years, respectively.

ccTGA is a rare heart defect often associated with additional heterogeneous cardiac anomalies that can be diagnosed prenatally. The presented study demonstrates a favorable outcome in most cases but the majority of patients require surgical treatment early in life.
