Cases report: Mosaic structural variants of the gene in previously genetically unconfirmed multiple osteochondromas.

Multiple osteochondromas (MO) is a rare autosomal dominant skeletal disorder characterized by the development of multiple benign tumors known as osteochondromas. The condition is predominantly caused by loss-of-function variants in the or genes, facilitating relatively precise clinical diagnosis through established diagnostic criteria. Despite this, a notable percentage of MO cases (10%-20%) remains unresolved after sequencing coding regions and copy number analysis of both genes.

Molecular and Phenotypic Characterization of the -Related Disorder.

Background And Objectives: Heterozygous variants in RAR-related orphan receptor B () have recently been associated with susceptibility to idiopathic generalized epilepsy. However, few reports have been published so far describing pathogenic variants of this gene in patients with epilepsy and intellectual disability (ID). In this study, we aimed to delineate the epilepsy phenotype associated with pathogenic variants and to provide arguments in favor of the pathogenicity of variants.

Four Novel Disease-Causing Variants in the Gene in Russian Patients with CADASIL.

Background: Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is an inherited disease with unknown mechanisms and a broad phenotypic spectrum. It is caused by pathogenic variants in the gene. The symptoms of the disease mainly include recurrent strokes with vascular risk factors, migraine with aura, dementia, and mood disturbances.

[Molecular genetics in diagnosis of Coats disease: combination of oligogenic variants associated with different forms of hereditary retinal dystrophy].

Coats disease (OMIM 300216) is a form of hereditary retinal dystrophy, which occurs due to congenital abnormality of retinal vessels and features unilateral exudative vitreoretinopathy. Coats disease mostly occurs sporadically; its genetic cause is still undetermined. Molecular genetic research including whole exome sequencing by the NGS method was used to define a genetic cause of the observed phenotype.
