Abstract: Huntington's Disease (HD) is a rare, autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder marked by progressive motor problems, cognitive decline, and psychiatric symptoms, and the cause of this disease is an irregular expansion of CAG trinucleotide repeats, which are present in the huntingtin (HTT) gene. This gene encodes a mutant huntingtin protein, mHTT, with an extended polyglutamine segment. This defective and abnormal protein misfolds and aggregates, leading to neuronal dysfunction and selective neurodegeneration, primarily in the striatum and....

Abstract: Newborn screening (NBS) is a critical public health intervention enabling early detection of treatable congenital disorders before clinical symptoms manifest. India, with approximately 26 million annual births, has been slower than developed nations in implementing universal NBS. This review examines the current state of newborn screening in India, including the burden of rare genetic diseases, national policies (National Policy for Rare Diseases....

Abstract: Respiratory viruses like SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, SARS-CoV-2, and influenza A are constantly evolving, which complicates the identification of conserved antiviral targets. In the present study, we combined sequence-based evolutionary and structural analyses of viral surface proteins to identify potentially conserved and functionally relevant regions. We carried out multiple sequence alignment and phylogenetic analysis of 13 representative viral sequences and....
