This review highlights key advancements in understanding how lipid metabolism and complement dysregulation contribute to Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD). Emerging evidence supports a dual-targeted therapeutic approach combining lipid modulators with complement inhibitors to improve patient outcomes.
This network meta-analysis evaluates the efficacy of GLP-1RAs in type 2 diabetes, finding tirzepatide most effective for glycaemic control, and CagriSema for weight loss, with concerns over gastrointestinal adverse events at high doses.

P/LP variants in LDLR are common. Expanding the use of reproductive carrier screening to include genes associated with FH presents another opportunity to identify people predisposed to cardiovascular disease.
A study on female reproductive carrier screening found that pathogenic LDLR variants, linked to familial hypercholesterolemia, are common, with higher frequency in Asian populations, offering opportunities for early cardiovascular disease identification.
