- Most models for predicting malignant pancreatic intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms were developed based on logistic regression (LR) analysis. Our study aimed to develop risk prediction models using machine learning (ML) and LR techniques and compare their performances. This was a multinational, multi-institutional, retrospective study. Clinical variables including age, sex, main duct diameter, cyst size, mural nodule, and tumour location were factors considered for model development (MD). After the division into a MD set and a test set (2:1), the best ML and LR models were developed by training with the MD set using a tenfold cross validation. The test area under the receiver operating curves (AUCs) of the two models were calculated using an independent test set. A total of 3,708 patients were included. The stacked ensemble algorithm in the ML model and variable combinations containing all variables in the LR model were the most chosen during 200 repetitions. After 200 repetitions, the mean AUCs of the ML and LR models were comparable (0.725 vs. 0.725). The performances of the ML and LR models were comparable. The LR model was more practical than ML counterpart, because of its convenience in clinical use and simple interpretability.

- We analyzed birth order differences in means and variances of height and body mass index (BMI) in monozygotic (MZ) and dizygotic (DZ) twins from infancy to old age. The data were derived from the international CODATwins database. The total number of height and BMI measures from 0.5 to 79.5 years of age was 397,466. As expected, first-born twins had greater birth weight than second-born twins. With respect to height, first-born twins were slightly taller than second-born twins in childhood. After adjusting the results for birth weight, the birth order differences decreased and were no longer statistically significant. First-born twins had greater BMI than the second-born twins over childhood and adolescence. After adjusting the results for birth weight, birth order was still associated with BMI until 12 years of age. No interaction effect between birth order and zygosity was found. Only limited evidence was found that birth order influenced variances of height or BMI. The results were similar among boys and girls and also in MZ and DZ twins. Overall, the differences in height and BMI between first- and second-born twins were modest even in early childhood, while adjustment for birth weight reduced the birth order differences but did not remove them for BMI.

- Here we report the generation of a multimodal cell census and atlas of the mammalian primary motor cortex as the initial product of the BRAIN Initiative Cell Census Network (BICCN). This was achieved by coordinated large-scale analyses of single-cell transcriptomes, chromatin accessibility, DNA methylomes, spatially resolved single-cell transcriptomes, morphological and electrophysiological properties and cellular resolution input–output mapping, integrated through cross-modal computational analysis. Our results advance the collective knowledge and understanding of brain cell-type organization1–5. First, our study reveals a unified molecular genetic landscape of cortical cell types that integrates their transcriptome, open chromatin and DNA methylation maps. Second, cross-species analysis achieves a consensus taxonomy of transcriptomic types and their hierarchical organization that is conserved from mouse to marmoset and human. Third, in situ single-cell transcriptomics provides a spatially resolved cell-type atlas of the motor cortex. Fourth, cross-modal analysis provides compelling evidence for the transcriptomic, epigenomic and gene regulatory basis of neuronal phenotypes such as their physiological and anatomical properties, demonstrating the biological validity and genomic underpinning of neuron types. We further present an extensive genetic toolset for targeting glutamatergic neuron types towards linking their molecular and developmental identity to their circuit function. Together, our results establish a unifying and mechanistic framework of neuronal cell-type organization that integrates multi-layered molecular genetic and spatial information with multi-faceted phenotypic properties.

A polygenic risk score for nasopharyngeal carcinoma shows potential for risk stratification and personalized screening

- Polygenic risk scores (PRS) have the potential to identify individuals at risk of diseases, optimizing treatment, and predicting survival outcomes. Here, we construct and validate a genome-wide association study (GWAS) derived PRS for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), using a multi-center study of six populations (6 059 NPC cases and 7 582 controls), and evaluate its utility in a nested case-control study. We show that the PRS enables effective identification of NPC high-risk individuals (AUC = 0.65) and improves the risk prediction with the PRS incremental deciles in each population (Ptrend ranging from 2.79 × 10−7 to 4.79 × 10−44). By incorporating the PRS into EBV-serology-based NPC screening, the test’s positive predictive value (PPV) is increased from an average of 4.84% to 8.38% and 11.91% in the top 10% and 5% PRS, respectively. In summary, the GWAS-derived PRS, together with the EBV test, significantly improves NPC risk stratification and informs personalized screening.

- Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rapidly fatal disease caused by immune dysregulation. Early initiation of treatment is imperative for saving lives. However, a laboratory approach that could be used to quickly evaluate the HLH subtype and clinical situation is lacking. Our previous studies indicated that cytokines such as interferon (IFN)-γ and interleukin (IL)-10 were helpful for the early diagnosis of HLH and were associated with disease severity. The purpose of this study is to clarify the different cytokine patterns of various subtypes of pediatric HLH and to investigate the role of cytokines in a simple evaluation of disease feature.Patients and MethodsWe enrolled 256 pediatric patients with newly diagnosed HLH. The clinical features and laboratory findings were collected and compared among different subtypes of HLH. A model integrating cytokines was established to stratify HLH patients into different clinical groups.ResultsTwenty-seven patients were diagnosed with primary HLH (pHLH), 179 with EBV-HLH, and 50 with other causes. The IL-6, IL-10, and IFN-γ levels and the ratios of IL-10 to IFN-γ were different among EBV-HLH, other infection-associated HLH, malignancy-associated HLH, familial HLH, and X-linked lymphoproliferative disease. Patients with the ratio of IL-10 to IFN-γ >1.33 and the concentration of IFN-γ ≤225 pg/ml were considered to have pHLH, with a sensitivity of 73% and a specificity of 84%. A four-quadrant model based on the two cutoff values was established to stratify the patients into different clinical situations. The HLH subtypes, cytokine levels, treatment regimens, treatment response, and outcomes were different among the four quadrants, with the 8-week mortality from 2.9 ± 2.9% to 21.4 ± 5.5% and the 5-year overall survival from 93.9 ± 4.2% to 52.6 ± 7.1%.ConclusionsDifferent subtypes of HLH present distinct cytokine patterns. IFN-γ and the ratio of IL-10 to IFN-γ are helpful tools to differentiate HLH subtypes. A four-quadrant model based on these two parameters is a useful tool for a simple evaluation of the HLH situation.
