Introduction: Congenital abnormalities could be caused by copy number variation or homozygous variants inherited of parental consanguineous. Purpose.
Objetive: To show copy number variants and regions of homozygosity in neonates with malformative syndrome or one congenital anomaly major associated to facial dysmorphia or hypotonia.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of COVID-19 on children and adolescents in 19 Latin American and Caribbean countries, revealing limited data available before May 2020.
- A total of 20,757 cases were reported in individuals aged 0 to 19, with a higher incidence in older children (10-19 years) and a notable gender distribution, with more cases in males.
- The findings showed a wide variation in cumulative incidence and case fatality rates across the countries, highlighting the need for a deeper understanding of COVID-19's effects on younger populations in this region.
Introduction: Actinomycosis is a rare infectious disease caused by Gram-positive bacteria. The most common species is Actinomyces israelii. Among its forms of presentation, the thoracic is the least frequent.

The entity is caused probably by haploinsufficiency for and We report a newborn male with hypotonia, facial dysmorphism, heart malformation, and without clinical diagnosis; nevertheless, the use of appropriate genetic test, such us the chromosomal microarray analysis allowed identification of a copy number variant in loss of 5.5 Mb at chromosome 3 (p13-p14.

- The incidence of thyroid cancer in Peru has risen, with 19,513 recorded cases from 2005 to 2016, particularly affecting individuals aged 30 to 59.
- The prevalence rate jumped from 4.7 to 15.2 cases per 100,000 people, notably higher in coastal regions, while mortality rates showed a slight increase mainly among those over 60.
- The study highlights the need for better tracking of cancer data in Peru and suggests investigating underlying social factors contributing to these trends.
Article Synopsis
- Diabetic foot is a significant complication for diabetes patients, and a study in Cusco, Peru, aimed to assess its impact on hospital stay duration.
- The study analyzed data from 153 type 2 diabetes patients and found that 14% had diabetic foot, which was associated with an average of 20 hospitalization days—17 days more than those without the condition.
- Results also indicated that patients with hypertension had longer stays, while those admitted to government hospitals experienced shorter stays, suggesting that the complications from diabetic foot affect hospitalization times.
