A dataset of estimated heterozygous individual and carrier couple frequencies for pan-ancestry carrier screeningMendeley Data by Mia J. Gruzin, Matthew Hobbs, Sarah Poll, Swaroop Aradhya, Leslie Burnett

“…The dataset enabled calculations of positive yield for individuals and couples across both ancestry-specific and pan-ancestry, optimised ''Goldilocks''-ranked gene panels, addressing population-specific variations in the frequencies of heterozygous individuals and carrier couples.The positive yield analysis offered a performance metric for carrier screening panels, facilitating the modeling of screening performance for panels of varying sizes and composition and providing resources for optimizing panel content to ensure equity across underrepresented genetic ancestriesThe dataset can support ongoing research into the equitable application of carrier screening and offers significant reuse potential for refining population genetic screening practices, validating computational models, and developing frameworks to update carrier screening panels in alignment with evolving genomic data, including in underrepresented and minority populations.…”

Gut-brain-liver axis in growth hormone deficiency: role of microbiota-derived short-chain fatty acids in ethnic variability and therapeutic development by Dongming Meng, Wei Kong, Sai Cheng, Hua Liu, Congfu Huang

“…This review synthesizes preclinical and clinical data to address ethnic variability in microbiota composition and therapeutic challenges. Key findings reveal that Chinese GHD cohorts exhibit reduced Bifidobacterium and fecal butyrate, whereas Spanish cohorts show minimal differences, potentially due to dietary fiber intake (e.g., Prevotella-enriched diets in Asia) or methodological variations in microbiota sequencing. …”
