  2. new paper: "A collaborative network analysis for the interpretation of transcriptomics data in Huntington’s disease" doi.org/10.1038/s41598-025-855

    "our study shows that collaborative network analysis approaches are well-suited to study rare diseases, as they provide hypotheses for pathogenic mechanisms from multiple perspectives."

  3. The first indication of a possible link between #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis and #CNS diseases:

    “However, one new association was found, with the gene #PDE10A, which is implicated in #CentralNervousSystem diseases, such as #Parkinsons and #Huntingtons disease. This association has never been seen before, and would require replication in a new cohort before its role in #MECFS could be confirmed.“
