Summary: Pediatric central nervous system (CNS) tumors are the leading cause of cancer-related death in children aged 0-14 years. A newly identified CNS tumor type characterized by PLAGL1/2 amplification and a lack of recurrent genetic alterations has been described. These tumors are composed of primitive embryonal-like cells and are associated with intermediate survival, but the cell of origin and optimal treatment strategies are yet to be determined.

In-utero HIV exposure and cardiometabolic health among children 5-8 years: findings from a prospective birth cohort in South Africa

Angela M. Bengtson, Jennifer Pellowski, Stephen McGarvey, Rae McGinty, Maresa Botha, Tiffany Burd, David Burgner, Toby Mansell, Heather J. Zar

Summary: This prospective cohort study aimed to assess whether in-utero HIV exposure is associated with adverse cardiometabolic health outcomes among children aged 5-8. The study included HIV-exposed but uninfected (HEU) and HIV-unexposed children from a South African birth cohort. The results showed minimal differences in growth and metabolic outcomes between HEU and HIV-unexposed children, suggesting overall reassuring findings. However, continued monitoring of cardiometabolic health is important as these children enter adolescence and establish long-term risk trajectories.

Effect of common pregnancy and perinatal complications on offspring metabolic traits across the life course: a multi-cohort study

Summary: This study examined the associations between common pregnancy and perinatal complications and offspring metabolic traits using data from eight population-based cohort studies. The findings indicate that these complications are mainly associated with metabolic traits in newborns, with little evidence of long-term impact on older offspring.

Increased maternal non-oxidative energy metabolism mediates association between prenatal di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) exposure and offspring autism spectrum disorder symptoms in early life: A birth cohort study

Summary: This study investigated whether maternal and child central carbon metabolism is involved in the development of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). They found that higher prenatal levels of di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) were associated with upregulation of maternal non-oxidative energy metabolism pathways and increased ASD symptoms in children at 2 and 4 years of age.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the associations of assisted reproductive technology (ART) conception with offspring cardiometabolic health outcomes and whether these associations differ with age. The researchers found small and statistically non-significant differences in offspring cardiometabolic outcomes between ART-conceived and naturally conceived offspring. The study concluded that these findings should reassure individuals receiving ART, but longer-term follow-up is needed to investigate changes in the risks of hypertension, dyslipidaemia, and cardiovascular disease over adulthood.

Association of Polygenic Risk Scores for Hearing Difficulty in Older Adults With Hearing Loss in Mid-Childhood and Midlife A Population-Based Cross-sectional Study Within the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children

Jing Wang, Katherine Lange, Valerie Sung, Angela Morgan, Richard Saffery, Melissa Wake

Summary: Although more than 200 genes have been associated with monogenic congenital hearing loss, the polygenic contribution to hearing decline across the life course remains largely unknown. This study found an association between polygenic risk scores for self-reported hearing difficulty among adults and measured hearing and speech reception abilities in mid-childhood and early midlife.

Cord blood adiponectin and leptin concentrations in monochorionic twins with selective intrauterine growth restriction and their associations with childhood growth trajectories

Li Wen, Huijia Fu, Richard Saffery, Chao Tong, Yamin Liu, Mark D. Kilby, Hongbo Qi, Philip N. Baker

Summary: This study measured the concentrations of adiponectin and leptin in the cord blood of monochorionic twins with selective intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). The findings showed that cord blood adiponectin concentrations were negatively associated with IUGR, while cord blood leptin concentrations were significantly lower in IUGR twins. Furthermore, adiponectin was negatively associated with height increments in the first 6 months, and leptin was inversely associated with weight and height increments in the first 6 months, as well as weight and height at 6 and 24 months. These results indicate the influence of adiponectin and leptin in cord blood on IUGR and childhood growth trajectories.

Higher gestational weight gain delays wound healing and reduces expression of long non-coding RNA KLRK1-AS1 in neonatal endothelial progenitor cells

Elisa Weiss, Anna Schruefer, Carolina Tocantins, Mariana Simoes Diniz, Boris Novakovic, Anke S. van Bergen, Azra Kulovic-Sissawo, Richard Saffery, Reinier. A. A. Boon, Ursula Hiden

Summary: High gestational weight gain (GWG) is associated with impaired wound healing of neonatal endothelial colony forming cells (ECFCs). A specific long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), KLRK1-AS1, was found to be downregulated in neonatal ECFCs from pregnancies with higher GWG, and its knockdown resulted in further impairment of barrier recovery. These findings suggest a potential role for lncRNAs, particularly KLRK1-AS1, in regulating neonatal ECFC function and may provide insights into the link between GWG and cardiovascular risk factors.

Maternal oxidative stress during pregnancy associated with emotional and behavioural problems in early childhood: implications for foetal programming

Summary: Childhood mental disorders are becoming increasingly common, and higher maternal oxidative stress during pregnancy is linked to these disorders. Social and prenatal environmental factors contribute to maternal oxidative stress and childhood mental disorders. Future studies are needed to further understand the role of early-life oxidant damage in childhood mental disorders.

Summary: This study demonstrates associations between severe obesity and inflammatory biomarkers in children and adolescents, both cross-sectionally and longitudinally. Specifically, glycoprotein acetyls and white blood cell count may be useful in assessing the severity of chronic inflammation related to obesity over time.
