PIK3R1 mutations that cause immunodeficiency through PI3-kinase hyperactivation also cause SHORT syndrome, due to PI3-kinase hypofunction, attributable to PI3-kinase destabilisation and outcompetition by mutant PIK3R1.
Low estrogen levels in postmenopausal hypertension are linked to metabolic reprogramming and aortic tissue changes, with L-alpha-aminobutyric acid emerging as a potential protective biomarker.

Breast luminal epithelial cells are the hotspots of aging-associated changes, which prime aged epithelia for oncogenic gene activation and may explain individual differences in breast cancer susceptibility due to the aging-associated increase in gene expression variances in luminal epithelia.
