Pharmaco-behavioral screens in scalable in vivo systems have critical advantages for drug discovery relevant to large-effect autism spectrum disorder (ASD) genes. Here, we establish a database and open-source website of the behavioral signatures of 520 US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drugs using high-throughput assays of basic sensory processing and arousal behaviors in larval zebrafish. By leveraging the behavioral profiles of 9 large-effect ASD gene mutants, we identify enrichment of pharmacological mechanisms that anticorrelate with subgroups of ASD genes with shared behavioral phenotypes. Screening of anticorrelating drugs in mutants of two ASD genes, SCN2A and DYRK1A, uncovers compounds that suppress mutant behavioral phenotypes. We identify estropipate, an estrogen receptor agonist, and paclitaxel, a microtubule inhibitor, as the top suppressors in scn1lab and dyrk1a mutants, respectively, and levocarnitine (LEVO), a mitochondrial modulator and carnitine supplement, as a top suppressor of both mutant behavioral phenotypes. Finally, we find that LEVO rescues regional brain activity deficits and dysregulated lipid metabolic pathways in mutants, as well as signaling deficits in human pluripotent stem cell-derived glutamatergic neurons carrying mutations in SCN2A and DYRK1A, demonstrating conservation of drug rescue across systems. Therefore, our study establishes a pharmaco-behavioral resource for precision medicine-based drug discovery, illuminating targets relevant to large-effect ASD genes.

To evaluate whether the measurement of urinary estrone glucuronide and luteinizing hormone (LH) concentrations with an at-home device is correlated with serum hormone levels within a natural cycle frozen embryo transfer protocol. The hypothesis is that home urinary monitoring can reliably detect the LH surge and serve as a trigger for timing the FET. Results of this study may ultimately lead to change in clinical practice by reducing the number of clinic visits for serum monitoring, offering a more convenient, time and cost saving method of detection of LH surge. If the proposed protocol were feasible and widely accepted by patients, this would prompt the wide adoption of a less invasive but equally as effective FET protocol. Conditions: Fertility Issues. Interventions: MIRA Device.

The WHI found an unexpected reduced breast cancer risk in women using CEE alone. We hypothesized CEE alone induces estrogen hydroxylation along the 2-pathway rather than the competing 16-pathway, a pattern linked to reduced postmenopausal breast cancer risk. One thousand eight hundred and sixty-four women in a WHIOS case-control study of estrogen metabolism and ovarian and endometrial cancer were studied of whom 609 were current E + P users (351 used CEE + MPA), while 272 used E alone (162 used CEE). Fifteen EM were measured, and analyses were conducted for each metabolite, hydroxylation pathway (2-, 4-, or 16-pathway) and ratios of pathway concentrations using inverse probability weighted linear regression. Compared to E + P users, all EM were higher in E alone users (significant for unconjugated estrone, total/conjugated estradiol, total/unconjugated 2-methoxyestrone, 4-methoxyestrone and unconjugated estriol). The relative concentrations of 2- and 4-pathway EM did not differ between the MHT users (2-pathway EM comprised 15% and 4-pathway EM <2% of the total), but 16-pathway EM were lower in E alone users (p = 0.036). Ratios of 2- and 4-pathway EM compared to 16-pathway EM were significantly higher in E alone compared to E + P users. Similar but not significant patterns were observed in CEE-alone and CEE + MPA users. Our data suggest that compared to E + P users, women using E alone have more extensive metabolism via the 2- vs. the competing 16-pathway. This is consistent with epidemiologic evidence of reduced postmenopausal breast cancer risk associated with this metabolic profile and may provide a clue to the breast cancer risk reduction in CEE alone users during the WHI.

The goal of this study is to assess the effects of higher doses versus standard hormone therapy on quality of life (QoL), symptoms due to estrogen deficiency, and bone health in women with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI). The efficacy of the hormonal treatment will be assessed clinically and also by measuring serum concentrations of Estradiol (E2), Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Luteinizing hormone (LH), total Testosterone (T), Estrone (E1), E1 sulfate (E1S), and Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG). Bone mineral density (BMD) will be measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Safety will be assessed by measuring endometrial thickness with Gynecological transvaginal ultrasound (TVS), treatment-related adverse events (AEs) and treatment-emergent AEs monitoring. Conditions: Primary Ovarian Insufficiency. Interventions: Transdermal estradiol gel 0.1% 1.5mg/ day, Transdermal estradiol gel 0.1% 2.0mg/ day.
