Genome-wide association study identifies a susceptibility locus for thyrotoxic periodic paralysis at 17q24.3

Ching-Lung Cheung and colleagues report a genome-wide association study for thyrotoxic periodic paralysis (TPP), a life-threatening complication of thyrotoxicosis, in a Chinese population. They identify associated variants at 17q24.3 near KCNJ2.

Effectiveness of BNT162b2 after extending the primary series dosing interval in children and adolescents aged 5–17

Extending the interval between doses of mRNA Covid-19 vaccines has been linked with a reduced risk of myocarditis in children and adolescents, but impacts on vaccine effectiveness are not known. Here, the authors perform a nested case-control study using data from Hong Kong and find evidence of reduced risk of infection following a longer dosing interval.

Genetic epidemiology of age-related osteoporosis and its clinical applications

Technological innovations have contributed greatly to advancing our knowledge of the genetic basis of osteoporosis. This article reviews the current understanding of osteoporosis genetics with a focus on developments since 2007. The potential clinical implications of this information and future directions for research are also discussed.

Unveiling unique clinical phenotypes of hip fracture patients and the temporal association with cardiovascular events

Cardiovascular events (CVEs) are the leading cause of death among hip fracture patients. Here, the authors show the findings on subphenotyping the heterogeneous spectrum of hip fracture patients in both Hong Kong and the United Kingdom older adult populations and temporal associations with CVEs across all subphenotypes.

Exome sequencing of 20,979 individuals with epilepsy reveals shared and distinct ultra-rare genetic risk across disorder subtypes

In this largest whole-exome sequencing study of epilepsies to date, the Epi25 Collaborative identified extremely rare variants that confer risk for diverse epilepsy subtypes, highlighting roles in synaptic transmission and neuronal excitability.

GWAS meta-analysis of over 29,000 people with epilepsy identifies 26 risk loci and subtype-specific genetic architecture

Genome-wide association meta-analyses identify 26 risk loci for epilepsy, including 19 loci specific to genetic generalized epilepsy. Prioritized candidate genes implicate synaptic processes and overlap with targets of antiseizure medications.
