A novel frameshift variant in the gene is associated with recessive oculodentodigital dysplasia.

Background: Oculodentodigital dysplasia (ODDD) is a rare syndrome that causes a constellation of facial, ophthalmic, dental, and limb abnormalities. Variants in the gap junction alpha-1 () gene have been described in patients with ODDD. Hereby we present the ocular manifestations in a patient with recessive ODDD due to a novel homozygous frameshift variant in .

A simple and integrated fiber-optic real-time qPCR platform for remote and distributed detection of epidemic virus infection.

Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) is a well-recognized technique for amplifying and quantifying nuclear acid, and its real-time monitoring capability, ultrahigh sensitivity, and accuracy make it a "golden-standard" tool in both molecular biology research and clinical diagnostics. However, current qPCR tests rely on bulky instrumentation and skilled laboratorians in centralized laboratories, which spatially and temporally separate the sample collection and test, leading to longer sample turnaround times (TATs) and limited working conditions. Herein, we propose an integrated optical fiber real-time polymerase chain reaction (iF-PCR) system that successfully allows convenient sample collection, rapid thermocycling, closed-loop thermal annealing, and real-time fluorescence detection in a tiny capillary reactor.

Analysis of the Distribution Pattern and Prophage Types in Asiaticus 'Cuimi' Kumquat.

The 'Cuimi' kumquat is a unique citrus cultivar known for its thin, crisp pulp and sweet, aromatic flavor. In addition to its use in fresh consumption and processing, this variety exhibits certain medicinal properties. This study aims to investigate the genetic diversity of the Huanglongbing (HLB) bacterium across different tissues of the 'Cuimi' kumquat, offering a theoretical basis for understanding the HLB epidemic in Dechang County, Sichuan.

Effect of Acrylate Emulsion on the Mechanical and Microscopic Properties of Straw Fiber-Reinforced Cement-Magnesium Slag Stabilized Soil.

In order to investigate the mechanism of mechanical performance enhancement and the curing mechanisms of acrylate emulsion (AE) in cement and magnesium slag (MS) composite-stabilized soil (AE-C-M), this study has conducted a comprehensive analysis of the compressive strength and microstructural characteristics of AE-C-M stabilized soil. The results show that the addition of AE significantly improves the compressive strength of the stabilized soil. When the AE content is 0.
