Background: Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a common non-inflammatory, congenital connective tissue disorder. Classical type (cEDS) EDS is one of the more common forms, typically caused by mutations in the COL5A1 and COL5A2 genes, though causative mu...
In a sample of 34 countries during 1965Q2 to 2021Q3, this paper offers an empirical analysis of how household debt and oil price shocks influence economic growth in the shadow of the pandemic. We exploit the quarter lags inherent in the response of d...
This research aims to study the relationship between economic growth and the increase in the tourism sector in Italy. Unlike most of the literature, we use the value added in the main economic sectors involved in tourism activity as a proxy for touri...
This study examines how various actors influence the transition to a renewable-energy economy. We employ a conceptual framework derived from a literature review and text-mining analysis and establish a panel data model for an empirical test using unb...

Land finance has consumed a lot of China’s urban land resources while contributing to its economic growth. Urban land expansion, land finance, and economic growth have attracted significant scholarly and social attention. However, the influence...
The efficient and sustainable exploitation of energy resources may secure a sustainable economic growth for different regions. However, the peripheries are subject to social, economic, and political constraints, with limited power over energy managem...
Androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS) is one of the most common Disorders of Sexual Differentiation (DSDs). AIS is characterized by an X-linked recessive inheritance pattern associated with variants in the androgen receptor (AR) gene that affects the...
Background: Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease (CMT) is a genetically and phenotypically heterogeneous hereditary neuropathy. Axonal CMT type 2 (CMT2) subtypes often exhibit overlapping clinical features, which makes molecular genetic analysis e...
This paper examines the causal relationship between human capital and economic factors in BRICS countries using a panel vector autoregressive model and data from 1997 to 2020. The economic factors considered include foreign direct investment (FDI), i...
Pathogenic variations in the BRCA2 gene have been detected with the development of next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based hereditary cancer panel testing technology. It also reveals an increasing number of variants of uncertain significance (VUSs). W...
