A novel gain ‐of‐function STAT3 variant in infantile‐onset diabetes associated with multiorgan autoimmunity
ConclusionIn the current study, we describe clinical manifestations and identify a novelSTAT3 GOF variant (c.1069G>A) in a Chinese patient. This activating variant impairs insulin expression by increasing transcriptional inhibition of its downstream transcription factorISL1, which could be involved in the pathogenesis of early-onset diabetes.

A case report of pancreatic exocrine insufficiency in a patient with Parkinson's disease: A coincidence or is there more to it than meets the eye?
We present a case of a 60-year-old male with Parkinson's disease and persistent abdominal pain who was found to have low faecal elastase levels indicative of severe PEI. His past medical history included none of the known risk factors for PEI. After examining the literature, we report a similar pathophysiological process underlying the development of pancreatitis and Parkinson's disease which is dysfunction of the Unfolded Protein Response. We suggest further research to assess the prevalence of PEI in the population of patients with Parkinson's disease.PMID:38396339 | DOI:10.1177/14782715241234078 (Source: Journal of the ...

Serological screening for celiac disease, by endomysial antibodies, in patients with rheumatoid arthritis
Ann Biol Clin (Paris). 2023 Dec 1;81(6):569-575. doi: 10.1684/abc.2023.1851.ABSTRACTCeliac disease (CD) and rheumathoid arthritis (RA) are both multi-factorial chronic inflammatory auto-immune diseases. In this retrospective study, we determined the frequency of CD in patients with RA using IgA anti-endomysial antibodies (EmA) and tried to explain this association. Indirect immunofluorescence on human umbilical cord was used to detect EmA in 215 patients with seropositive RA collected over a 4-year-period. Two thousand and five hundred healthy blood donors (HBD) served as control group. Among the 215 patients with RA, 12 (...
