Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how long SARS-CoV-2 RNA lingers in different body fluids of COVID-19 patients, raising concerns about potential viral transmission.
- The research involved 100 confirmed COVID-19 cases where samples were collected during and after hospitalization, with findings showing the median persistence of viral RNA in nasopharyngeal samples was 8 days.
- Overall, the results suggest that patients could be discharged without infectious viral genetic material, implying the recommended quarantine may be adequate in minimizing the risk of transmission.
Waardenburg syndrome Type I (WS1) is an autosomal dominant disorder that has previously been associated with mutations in the PAX3 gene on the 2q35 region. In this study, we used an Iranian WS1 family with seven affected individuals in three generations. The phenotypic characteristics of the family include sensorineural deafness, dystopia canthorum, hypopigmented skin patches of the upper limbs, congenital white forelock, confluent white eyebrows, nonpigmented iris, poliosis, and hypopigmentation of the retina.
