Zhou et al. uncover the pro-tumorigenic role of gut fungus Rhizopus arrhizus in MASLD-HCC. R. arrhizus produces kynurenic acid, which directly binds to tumor cells and activates oncogenic MAPK signaling to promote MASLD-HCC. Zhou et al. also provide therapeutic insights by showing that blocking this host-fungus interaction inhibits MASLD-HCC development.

Endophenotypes are critical biological markers with genetic links to disease progression. We previously developed endoPRS, a multi-trait polygenic risk score (PRS) method that leverages endophenotype data to improve disease risk prediction. However, endoPRS requires individual-level genotype-phenotype data for model fitting, restricting its broader use. To address this, we introduce endoPRS-SS, an extension which enables PRS inference using genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics...
