Increased prevalence of the COVID-19 associated Neanderthal mutations in the Central European Roma population by Jaroslav A. Hubáček, Lenka Šedová, Věra Hellerová, Věra Adámková, Valérie Tóthová

“…Interethnic variability of the disease has been described, but a significant part of the differences remain unexplained and may be attributable to genetic factors.Aim To analyse genetic factors potentially influencing COVID-19 susceptibility and severity in European Roma minority.Subjects and methods Two genetic determinants, within OAS-1 (2-prime,5-prime-oligoadenylate synthetase 1, a key protein in the defence against viral infection; it activates RNases that degrade viral RNAs; rs4767027 has been analysed) and LZTFL1 (leucine zipper transcription factor-like 1, expressed in the lung respiratory epithelium; rs35044562 has been analysed) genes were screened in a population-sample of Czech Roma (N = 302) and majority population (N = 2,559).Results For both polymorphisms, Roma subjects were more likely carriers of at least one risky allele for both rs4767027-C (p < 0.001) and rs35044562-G (p < 0.00001) polymorphism. …”

Extreme signal amplitude events in neuromagnetic oscillations reveal brain aging processing across adulthood by Vasily A. Vakorin, Vasily A. Vakorin, Hayyan Liaqat, Sam M. Doesburg, Sylvain Moreno

“…We characterized extreme neurodynamics by computing sample skewness and kurtosis, and used Partial Least Squares to test for differences across age groups.ResultsOur findings revealed that each canonical frequency, from theta to lower gamma, displayed unique spatial patterns of either age-related increases, decreases, or both in the brain’s tendency to produce extreme neuromagnetic events.DiscussionOur study introduces a novel neuroimaging framework for understanding ageing through the extreme and rare events of the neurophysiological activity, offering more sensitivity than typical comparative approaches.…”
