    Abstract Background: The 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus has an impact on all aspects of patient care. Serum ferritin generally represents a biomarker of choice when iron deficiency is suspected. However, ferritin is also an acute-phase-protein exhibiting elevated serum concentration in various inflammatory diseases. Here we focus on the role of serum ferritin for diagnostic and clinical management of patients with COVID-19 in comparison with other infectious and non-infectious diseases.
    Methods: We examined scientific articles listed in PubMed reporting on ferritin in various infectious and non-infectious diseases. We then compared these results with nine current COVID-19 ferritin reports published in 2020.
    Results: Several non-infectious, as well as non-COVID-19 infectious diseases, are characterised by a partly dramatic elevation of serum ferritin levels. All COVID-19 studies published between February and May 2020, which documented laboratory serum ferritin, indicate ferritin as a biomarker of COVID-19 severity in hospitalised patients.
    Conclusions: Serum ferritin may be considered both a prognostic and stratifying biomarker that can also contribute to therapeutic decision-making concerning patients with COVID-19. It should be emphasised, however, that most scientific reports refer to cohorts in the Asian region. Further validation in other cohorts is urgently required.

    Abstract Deletions and duplications of genomic DNA contribute to evolution, phenotypic diversity, and human disease. The underlying mechanisms are incompletely understood. We identified deletions of exon 10 of the SPAST gene in two unrelated families with hereditary spastic paraplegia. We excluded a founder event, but observed that the breakpoints map to identical repeat regions. These regions likely represent an intragenic "doublet," that is, an enigmatic class of local duplications. The fusion sequences for both deletions are compatible with recombination-based as well as with replication-based mechanisms. Searching the literature, we identified a partial SLC24A4 deletion that involved two copies of another doublet, and was likely formed in an analogous way. Comparing the SPAST and the SLC24A4 doublets with doublets identified previously suggested that many additional doublets have a high potential for triggering rearrangements. Considering that doublets are still being formed in the human genome, and that they likely create high local instability, we suggest that a two-step mechanism consisting of doublet generation and subsequent doublet-mediated deletion/duplication may underlie certain copy-number changes for which other mechanisms are currently assumed. Further studies are necessary to delineate the significance of the thus-far understudied doublets for the formation of copy-number variation.

    Abstract Large deletions that are associated with insertions of Alu-derived sequence represent a rare, but potentially unique class of alterations. Whether they form by a one-step mechanism or by a primary insertion step followed by an independent secondary deletion step is not clear. We resolved two disease-associated SPAST deletions, which involve distinct exons by long range PCR. Alu-derived sequence was observed between the breakpoints in both cases. The intronic regions that represent the targets of potentially involved Alu retrotransposition events overlapped. Microsatellite- and SNP-based haplotyping indicated that both deletions originated on one and the same founder allele. Our data suggest that the deletions are best explained by two-step insertion-deletion scenarios for which a single Alu retrotransposition event represents the shared primary step. This Alu then mediated one of the deletions by non-homologous end joining and the other by non-allelic homologous recombination. Our findings thus strongly argue for temporal separation of insertion and deletion in Alu insertion-associated deletions. They also suggest that certain Alu integrations confer a general increase in local genomic instability, and that this explains why they are usually not detected during the probably short time that precedes the rearrangements they mediate.

    Abstract TTR amyloidosis (ATTR) is a fatal condition caused by extracellular deposits of misfolded transthyretin. Patients often present with cardiac disease, but manifestations may also involve other organs including the peripheral nervous system. ATTR is considered familial when heterozygous mutations in the TTR gene are present (ATTRmutant or ATTRm), or acquired when no TTR aberrations are detected (ATTRwildtype or ATTRwt). We hypothesized that TTR copy number variants (CNVs), which would escape the standard diagnostic approaches, contribute to ATTR-related phenotypes, and developed a multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification-based (MLPA-based), TTR-specific copy number screening tool. High inter-sample and intra-sample homogeneity of MLPA signals and the expected drop in signal intensity for restriction digest-based positive controls validated this tool. Subsequent application to 13 patients diagnosed with ATTRwt, and to 93 patients presenting with late onset and presumably inherited polyneuropathy did not identify TTR CNVs. We discuss insufficient sensitivity of the assay as well as non-existence and non-pathogenicity of TTR CNVs as potentially underlying our negative finding, but suggest size and composition of our cohorts as more likely explanations. Our CNV-screening tool will be made available to initiatives interested in screening additional and potentially more appropriate patient samples.
