Mild α-Thalassemia Caused by a Mosaic α-Globin Gene Mutation.

We describe a new α-globin chain variant in a Chinese subject. This novel variant, with a Val→Met substitution at codon 93 of the α-globin chain, has been named Hb Qingcheng (: c.280G>A) for where the proband was born.

Healthy neonate born to a SARS-CoV-2 infected woman: A case report and review of literature.

Background: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a newly discovered coronavirus that has generated a worldwide outbreak of infections. Many people with coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) have developed severe illness, and a significant number have died. However, little is known regarding infection by the novel virus in pregnant women.

Detection of Parental Contribution to Molar Genome Leads to Diagnosis of Recurrent Hydatidiform Mole in a Family with Variants.

Genetically, complete hydatidiform mole (CHM) is androgenetic diploid, containing two sets of paternal chromosomes. In most cases, recurrent HM (RHM) is CHM but has diploid biparental chromosome constitution. We report a mother with RHM, both with biparental diploidy.
