Background And Objective: Damage to the hippocampus leads to increased anxiety, memory problems, and learning disabilities. Melatonin (MLT), a hormone secreted by the pineal gland, serves as an antioxidant and provides defense against nerve damage. Omega-3 (ω3) is known for improving brain function.

These regulatory molecules interfere with the function of many genes by binding the 3'-UTR region of target mRNAs to inhibit their translation or even degrade them. Given that a large proportion of miRNAs behave as either tumor suppressors or oncogenes, any genetic or epigenetic aberration changeing their structure and/or function could initiate tumor formation and development.

SOCS3 (suppressor of cytokine signaling 3), a critical tumor suppressor providing a substantial part in the feedback loop of the JAK/STAT pathway, is abnormally suppressed in various cancer. This study aims to screen non-coding and potentially deleterious coding SNVs in the gene.

These connections are not fully understood, but the answer lies in the pathophysiology of each disease.
Case Presentation: We report the case of a 6-year-old Middle-Eastern girl who presented with two skin lesions on the dorsum of her foot, along with scaling of her soles and palms, face skin discoloration, and areas of patchy alopecia on her scalp.
