A Familial Case of Robertsonian Translocation 13;14: Case Report.

Robertsonian translocations are the most common form of chromosomal abnormalities that specifically involve the acrocentric chromosomes. Robertsonian translocation between chromosomes 13,14 and 14,21 are the most frequently reported. Infertility is common in genetically balanced carriers of these translocations, and their conceptions are more likely to have imbalances.

Bi-allelic Loss-of-Function Variants in DNMBP Cause Infantile Cataracts.

Infantile and childhood-onset cataracts form a heterogeneous group of disorders; among the many genetic causes, numerous pathogenic variants in additional genes associated with autosomal-recessive infantile cataracts remain to be discovered. We identified three consanguineous families affected by bilateral infantile cataracts. Using exome sequencing, we found homozygous loss-of-function variants in DNMBP: nonsense variant c.
