Objectives: Pseudohypoaldosteronism type 1 (PHA1) has two genetically distinct variants, including renal and systemic forms. Systemic PHA type I (PHA1B) has varying degrees of clinical presentation and results from mutations in genes encoding subunits of the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) including the alpha, beta, and gamma subunits. To date, about 45 variants of PHA1B have been identified.

In this study, we aimed to investigate the abnormal expression of hsa_circ_0008285 and its role in ovarian cancer pathogenesis. Quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blot methods were used to detect the expression of hsa_circ_0008285 and some target genes in ovarian cancer tissues and related cell lines.

Osteoporosis-pseudoglioma syndrome (OPPG) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by severe osteoporosis and eye abnormalities that lead to vision loss. In this study, clinical findings and genetic study of two siblings with OPPG are presented. Whole exome sequencing of DNA enriched for exonic regions was performed with SureSelect 38Mbp all exon kit v.
