The paper identifies noncoding MECP2 variants that cause male-biased autism by disrupting CRE activity and reducing MECP2 expression.

This study shows that colorectal cancer in mice and rhesus macaques causes inflammatory neuropathy with calcium dysregulation and myelin issues, suggesting a causal link to chronic neurological problems in cancer survivors.

The paper uses long-read sequencing to identify pathogenic variants in autism cases, finding three pathogenic mutations and nine candidate structural variants missed by short-read sequencing.
