Abstract: Nat Med. 2019 Apr;25(4):583590. PMID: 30804514In brief: This study describes the first skeletal dysplasia caused by a mutation in a microRNA that is not simply inactivating, but modifies the repertoire of target genes.Comment: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small (2024 nucleotides) noncoding RNA molecules that post-transcriptio...

Brief summary: The authors designed a polygenic risk score (PRS) to aid in estimating disease susceptibility in patients with autoimmune Addisons disease (AAD).Autoimmune Addisons disease (AAD) is the most common cause of primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI) in adults. Despite its exceptionally high heritability, tools to estimate disease susceptibility in individual patients are lacking (13). The aim of this study was t...
