Single-Cell Analysis Provides New Insights into Mitochondrial Diseases

Mitochondrial diseases result from failure of mitochondria, specialized compartments within cells that contain their own DNA and produce the energy needed to sustain life. Some of the most challenging mitochondrial disorders arise from mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), a high-copy-number genome that is maternally inherited. More...

Isoform-Specific Loss Of Dystonin Causes Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease

CMT is divided into demyelinating (type 1) and axonal (type 2) forms of the disease based on clinical, electrophysiological, histological, and genetic features. Recessively inherited demyelinating neuropathies are called CMT4, whereas recessively inherited axonal neuropathies are called autosomal recessive (AR)-CMT. More...

Lab Profiles Differentiate MIS-C From Severe Pediatric COVID-19

Initial reports from the Severe Acute Respiratory Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic described children as being less susceptible to Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) than adults. Subsequently, a severe and novel pediatric disorder termed Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) emerged. More...

Elevated Glycolated Hemoglobin in Young People Predicts Likelihood of Diabetes or Cardiovascular Disease in Adulthood

A review of blood test results from more than 14,000 young people suggested that measurement of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) was a specific and useful nonfasting marker for identify high-risk youth who could benefit from lifestyle interventions to prevent diabetes and cardiovascular risk in adulthood.
