Today, we are at a stage where elementary forms of quantum computers and communication systems are being built and deployed. In this paper, we begin with a historical background into quantum information theory and coding theory for both entanglement-unassisted and assisted quantum communication systems, motivating the need for quantum error correction in such systems. We then begin with the necessary mathematical preliminaries towards understanding the theory behind quantum error correction, central to the discussions within this article, starting from the binary case towards the non-binary generalization, using the rich framework of finite fields. We will introduce the stabilizer framework, build upon the Calderbank-Shor-Steane framework for binary quantum codes and generalize this to the non-binary case, yielding generalized CSS codes that are linear and additive. We will survey important families of quantum codes derived from well-known classical counterparts. Next, we provide an overview of the theory behind entanglement-assisted quantum ECCs along with encoding and syndrome computing architectures. We present a case study on how to construct efficient quantum Reed-Solomon codes that saturate the Singleton bound for the non-degenerate case. We will also show how positive coding rates can be realized using tensor product codes from two zero-rate entanglement-assisted CSS codes, an effect termed as the coding analog of superadditivity, useful for entanglement-assisted quantum communications. We discuss how quantum coded networks can be realized using cluster states and modified graph state codes. Last, we will motivate fault-tolerant quantum computation from the perspective of coding theory. We end the article with our perspectives on interesting open directions in this exciting field.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":675,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Indian Institute of Science","volume":"103 2","pages":"449 - 495"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"4756914","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We selected two of the commonest forms of monogenic diabetes namely, maturity onset of diabetes of the young (MODY) and neonatal diabetes mellitus (NDM), and looked for studies that reported these two conditions in South Asians (SA). The primary aim was to identify the number of monogenic diabetes cases reported so far in SA. We searched major databases from 1990 to 2022 to identify articles published on monogenic diabetes in SA countries and SAs. Original articles that showed the prevalence or reported cases of monogenic diabetes through genetic analysis, on children, adolescents and adults, published in the English Language were included. Following an initial screening by title and abstract by three reviewers, the full texts retrieved were independently screened by two reviewers. A total of 3176 studies on monogenic diabetes were obtained and 2525 abstracts were selected for the title and abstract screening, subsequently were excluded. The remaining 235 abstracts underwent full-text analysis. Finally, 46 studies (MODY, <i>n</i> = 18 and NDM, <i>n</i> = 28) were included in this paper. A total of 89 variants in MODY and 139 variants in NDM were recorded. Among the documented variants, 38 were causal for MODY and 116 were causal for NDM. This review provides the list of causal variants of MODY and NDM in SA. This could be helpful in the clinical setting for planning the treatment of MODY and NDM individuals in SA.</p><p><b>Systematic Review registration</b> https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/#myprospero (ID: CRD42022296268).</p></div>","PeriodicalId":675,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Indian Institute of Science","volume":"103 1","pages":"309 - 334"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"4798238","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the major microvascular complications of T2D is diabetic kidney disease (DKD), earlier known as diabetic nephropathy which leads to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and kidney failure. Kidney dialysis or transplantation is required for the ESRD patients which poses a socioeconomic burden worldwide. The prevalence of DKD in T2D is 25–40% worldwide and hence it is important to study the pathogenesis of DKD which will aid in understanding and treating the disease. It has been shown that hereditary factors (genes) play a crucial role in the pathogenesis and progression of DKD. A number of genes have been found to be associated with DKD using candidate gene approach and genome-wide association studies (GWAS). GWAS genotypes a large number of markers across cases and controls and finds out the genetic markers/polymorphisms which are significantly associated with the disease or a trait.
