An Early View: Researchers analysed #immune system signature in 72 members of Midwestern Amish community. The results revealed that people with Alzheimer’s disease and mild cognitive impairment showed reduced T-cell diversity. 🔗 Read here:doi.org/10.1111/ahg.70063

An Early View: #Thoracic #aortic #dissection is a life-threading manifestation of inherited thoracic disease. Researchers identified a likely pathogenic variant in MYLK, characterised by increased risk of early-onset aortic dissection. 🔗 Read here: doi.org/10.1111/ahg.70064

An Early View: The 2026 Human Genome Meeting was held in Athens, Greece. This report consolidates presentations from the conference on advances within human #genetics and the transition of #genomics research into precision public medicine. 🔗 Read here: doi.org/10.1111/ahg.70060

An Early View: Genetic hearing loss, especially in consanguineous populations, remains a heterogeneous disorder with limited therapeutic options. Exome sequencing in three consanguineous Pakistanti families reveals novel variants in MSRB3. 🔗 Read here: doi.org/10.1111/ahg.70061

An Early View: This study analysed all publicly available mitochondrial #DNA and Y-chromosome haplogroups in the American population using simple phylogenetic and phylogeographic methods to map prehistoric human colonization of the Americas. 🔗 Read here: doi.org/10.1111/ahg.70053

An Early View: RA, PsA, and gout are clinically distinct forms of #inflammatory #arthritis, yet they share systemic inflammatory features. This study identified concrete gene-level targets for cross-disease mechanistic follow up. 🔗 Read here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
29
An Early View: A two-sample Mendelian randomisation study using publicly available GWAS summary statistics evaluates the associations of leukocyte #telomere length and #epigenetic age acceleration with #healthspan. 🔗 Read here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
34
An Early View: This narrative review integrates #clinical, familial, tissue-specific #heteroplasmy and functional evidence across the MT-TI variant spectrum. The authors explored the implications for variant interpretation and diagnosis. 🔗 Read here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

An Early View: Clinical interpretation of #monogenic #diabetes relies on ClinVar and gnomAd, yet both are skewed toward European ancestry. This study evaluated whether that skew translates into unequal diagnostic yield for non-Europeans. 🔗 Read here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
21
An Early View: Analysis of SOD1 architecture across continental populations shows that the SOD1 coding region has consistent 2 to 3-fold reduction in #nucleotide diversity and minimal inter-population #differentiation. 🔗 Read the full article here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

An Early View: Droma et al. (2026) respond to a letter reviewing their article, which examined the relationship between high-altitude #adaptive #genetic #variants and EPAS1/EGLN1 mRNA expression in Sherpa highlanders 🔗 Read the full response here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

An Early View: A recent letter to the editor reviews the methodology and hypothesis of ‘Downregulation of EPAS1 and EGLN1 mRNA Expression Associated With High-Altitude Adaptive Genetic #Variants in #Sherpa Highlanders’. 🔗 Read the full letter here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

An Early View: A first of its kind study confirmed the utility of Alu insertion #variants for inferring geographic ancestry in a #Kuwaiti population. 🔗 Read the full article here: doi.org/10.1111/ahg.70050

An Early View: Findings from a study assessing HLA variation in #COVID-19 vaccinated #Bangladeshi population indicate HLA-DRB1 alleles may have an association with SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence. 🔗 Read the full article here: doi.org/10.1111/ahg.70047

An Early View: #Preeclampsia (PE) is a hypertensive pregnancy disorder. In a mixed design cohort of early pregnant women, findings suggest #epigenetic modulation of antioxidant and angiogenic pathways in women at risk for PE. 🔗 Read the full article: doi.org/10.1111/ahg.70042

An Early View: Mendelian randomization analysis provides evidence linking increased total hip bone marrow adipose tissue (BMAT) to higher risk of Alzheimer's disease. The results identify BMAT as a target for future AD research. 🔗 Read the full article: doi.org/10.1111/ahg.70041
