Chromosomal investigations of lymphocytic cultures in 26 couples and 11 women with repeated miscarriages or children with congenital anomalies have been performed. In 5 cases chromosomal aberrations and in 3 cases chromosomal lesions have been found. These results are helpful in genetic consultation and aetiological investigations.

This case report presents a 31-year-old male patient with primary infertility, a unilaterally undescended testicle, and a complete AZFc microdeletion. Despite failed attempts at testicular sperm extraction, the patient underwent successful microscopic testicular sperm extraction and subsequent viable sperm extraction, leading to successful fertilization through intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). The report underscores the potential for successful ICSI in male infertility cases with complex genetic and reproductive issues, highlighting the importance of comprehensive genetic evaluation and individualized reproductive techniques in managing male infertility associated with undescended testicle and genetic anomalies.

Approximately 10-20% of thyroid cancers are driven by gene fusions, which activate oncogenic signaling through aberrant overexpression, ligand-independent dimerization, or loss of inhibitory motifs. We identified 13 thyroid tumors with thyroglobulin (TG) gene fusions and aimed to assess their histopathology and the fusions' oncogenic and tumorigenic properties. Of 11 cases with surgical pathology, 82% were carcinomas and 18% noninvasive follicular thyroid neoplasms with papillary-like nuclear features (NIFTP).

Background: Left-right (LR) asymmetry disorders present a complex etiology, with genetic factors emerging as a primary contributor. This study aims to explore the genetic underpinnings of chromosomal variants and individual genes in fetuses afflicted with prenatal LR asymmetry disorder.
Methods: Through a retrospective analysis conducted between 2020 and 2023 at Tongji Hospital, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, genetic outcomes of LR asymmetric disorder were scrutinized utilizing copy number variation sequencing (CNV-seq) and whole exome sequencing (WES) methodologies.

Hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma (HSTCL) is an aggressive mature T-cell lymphoma characterized by significant hepatosplenomegaly, bone marrow involvement, and minimal or no lymphadenopathy. Primarily affecting young adults, it is exceptionally rare in children and adolescents. This makes diagnosis and treatment particularly challenging for pathologists and pediatric oncologists.

Retinopathy with Vitamin E Deficiency (RVED) is a familial disease in the English Cocker Spaniel (ECS) dog breed. Ophthalmic abnormalities observed in RVED-affected ECS include lipofuscin granule deposition within the tapetal fundus and subsequent retinal degeneration resulting in visual deficits. Affected dogs may also exhibit neurological signs that include ataxia and hindlimb proprioceptive deficit.
