Analysis of Lynch Syndrome Diagnostic Pathway Introduction Lynch Syndrome (LS) is a hereditary cancer susceptibility syndrome that primarily leads to the occurrence of colorectal cancer (CRC), endometrial cancer, and several other types of cancer. Although the incidence of Lynch Syndrome among cancer patients and its importance to public health hav...

Progressive neurological disease with gingival hyperplasia due to TBC1D2B gene deficiency Background Introduction In recent years, with the rapid development of genomic technologies, scientists have gained deeper insights into the relationship between genetic variations and human diseases. Increasingly, research has revealed the important role thes...

Qualitative Study Report on the Experience of Extensive Germline Sequencing in Children with Cancer Aged 12-18 Background Introduction With the development of genetic sequencing technology, germline DNA sequencing has gradually become a routine practice in pediatric cancer care. Recent studies estimate that about 10% of children with cancer have ge...

Detection of a 39 kb structural variant causing Lynch syndrome using optical genome mapping and nanopore sequencing Research Background Lynch syndrome (LS) is a hereditary cancer syndrome primarily caused by pathogenic germline variants in four genes of the MMR (mismatch repair) gene family: MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, and PMS2. This syndrome is characterize...

Additive Evidence of Rare and Common Variant Burden Across the Spectrum of Intellectual Disability Severity Academic Background Intellectual Disability (ID) is a common condition with a range of severity from mild to profound. Mild ID is often viewed as the lower end of the intelligence distribution, while severe ID is typically considered a monoge...

Gemin5 Gene Mutation-Related Coenzyme Q10 Deficiency: Long-term Follow-up After Treatment Background Gemin5 is a highly conserved multifunctional protein that mainly functions in assembling small RNA-protein complexes in the cytoplasm and participates in the splicing process of pre-mRNA to generate mature mRNA. Previous studies have reported a seri...

Instant Inclusion: In-depth Analysis of Uncertainties Experienced by Parents of Newborns with Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Research Background Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID) is a rare and potentially fatal genetic disorder. Without timely diagnosis and treatment, patients face life-threatening conditions. In recent years, early identif...

Heterozygous THBS2 Pathogenic Variants Cause Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome with Prominent Vascular Features in Humans and Mice Paper Background Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a group of connective tissue disorders caused by mutations in collagen and collagen-related genes. These disorders present in various forms and can be classified into 14 different t...

New Discovery: Study on the Association between GJA8 Gene Mutations and Familial Aniridia-Microphthalmia-Cataract Syndrome Research Background Normal eye development is a process that requires the coordinated action of multiple genes and factors. Abnormal eye development can lead to congenital eye malformations such as anophthalmia, microphthalmia,...

This study aims to explore the relationship between copy number variations (CNVs) involving the NR0B1 (DAX1) gene and 46,XY gonadal dysgenesis. 46,XY gonadal dysgenesis (GD) is a disorder of sex development caused by the failure of gonads to fully differentiate into testes. This condition can lead to individuals presenting with female or ambiguous ...
