Large-scale exome analyses reveal new rare variant contributions in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Single-variant and ultrarare variant burden analyses leveraging exome sequencing data from 22 cohorts identify new risk genes for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and show cumulative effects of several rare variants on disease risk.

Biallelic variants in RNU2-2 cause a remarkably frequent developmental and epileptic encephalopathy

Analysis of sequencing data from rare disease cohorts identifies biallelic variants in RNU2-2 underlying a developmental and epileptic encephalopathy associated with reduced U2-2 abundance and clinically distinct from the dominant RNU2-2 disorder.

Systematic analysis of snRNA genes reveals frequent RNU2-2 variants in dominant and recessive developmental and epileptic encephalopathies

Analyses of snRNA genes in a French cohort of people with rare disorders, with validation through international collaboration, identify monoallelic and biallelic variants in RNU2-2 as frequent causes of neurodevelopmental disorders with epilepsy.

Reprogramming of stroma-derived chemokine networks drives the loss of tissue organization in nodal B cell lymphoma

Czernilofsky et al. identified factors that reprogram stromal cells into an inflammatory, dysfunctional state, leading to the structural disorganization of lymph nodes in B cell lymphoma at single-cell and spatial resolutions.

Impact of using artificial intelligence as a second reader in breast screening including arbitration

Warren et al. used data from a retrospective cohort of 50,000 women attending breast screening. Arbitration between human and AI decisions was performed in a reader study following normal arbitration workflow. After arbitration, replacing the second human reader with AI in a double-read breast screening workflow was noninferior to two human readers.
