Familial Comorbidity of Bipolar Disorder and Multiple Sclerosis: Genetic Susceptibility, Coexistence or Causal Relationship? by Mary H. Kosmidis, Vasilis P. Bozikas, Vaitsa Giannouli, Athanasios Karavatos, Konstantinos Fokas

“…This history would seem to support the hypothesis of a common underlying brain process (potentially genetically-based) to explain the comorbidity of BD and MS, but cannot clarify whether this comorbidity implies a relationship between the two disorders or merely reflects parallel processes of brain deterioration. …”

Parallel association rules incremental mining algorithm based on information entropy and genetic algorithm by Yimin MAO, Qianhu DENG, Zhigang CHEN

“…Aiming at the problems that in the big data environment, the Can-tree based incremental association rule algorithm had problems such as too much space occupation of the tree structure, inability to dynamically set the support threshold, and too much time consumption during the data transfer process between the Map and Reduce stages, the Map Reduce-based parallel association rules incremental mining algorithm using information entropy and genetic algorithm (MR-PARIMIEG)was proposed.Firstly, a similar items merging based on information entropy (SIM-IE) was designed to merge similar data items, and a Can tree based on the merged data set was constructed, thereby reducing the space occupation of the tree structure.Secondly, the dynamic support threshold obtaining using genetic algorithm (DST-GA) was proposed to obtain the relatively optimal dynamic support threshold in the big data environment, and frequent itemset mining was performed according to this threshold to avoid the unnecessary time consumption caused by mining redundant frequent patterns.Finally, in the process of MapReduce parallel operation, the parallel LZO data compression algorithm was used to compress the output data of the Map stage, thereby reducing the size of the transmitted data, and finally improving the running speed of the algorithm.Experimental simulation results show that MR-PARIMIEG has better performance when mining frequent item sets in the big data environment, and it is suitable for parallel processing of larger data sets.…”

Preimplantation genetic testing for four families with severe combined immunodeficiency: Three unaffected livebirths by Lingyun Zhang, Lei Feng, Hao Shi, Wenbin Niu, Yanchi Wang, Bei Bu, Yidong Liu, Xiao Bao, Wenyan Song, Haixia Jin, Yingpu Sun

“…Abstract Purpose Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) is a set of rare monogenic inherited diseases that together represent the most severe form of the primary immunodeficiency disease phenotype. Preimplantation genetic testing for monogenic defects (PGT-M) is an effective reproductive technology strategy to prevent disease-causing gene mutations from being transmitted to offspring. …”
