ASH1L gene encodes a histone lysine methyltransferase, highly expressed in both embryonic and adult human brain. De novo loss-of-function variants in ASH1L are described in an ultrarare monogenic neurodevelopmental disorder, previously called mental retardation type 52 (MRD52). At the same time, a few cases are reported in the literature and DECIPHER with 1q22 microdeletions spanning ASH1L.

Mowat-Wilson syndrome (MWS) is a complex disorder caused by heterozygous ZEB2 gene variations creating haploinsufficiency. The main clinical features are evolving facial dysmorphism, intellectual disability, eye and brain malformations, and various organ anomalies. Our study examines 10 Turkish patients, who had clinical diagnosis, underwent evaluation, clinical investigations, and genetic tests in multiple tertiary centers across Türkiye, and were molecularly diagnosed with MWS.

Williams syndrome (WS) is a rare multisystemic disorder caused by recurrent microdeletions on 7q11.23, characterized by intellectual disability, distinctive craniofacial and dental features, and cardiovascular problems. Previous studies have explored the roles of individual genes within these microdeletions in contributing to WS phenotypes.

Objective: In patients with platinum-sensitive relapsed ovarian cancer (PSROC) harboring pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants (PV) in BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, olaparib maintenance monotherapy (OMT) is a viable option. Our study aimed to evaluate the impact of different BRCA1/2 PV in survival outcomes and safety of OMT in BRCA1/2-mutated PSROC patients, focusing on the type and location of PV.
Methods: We assessed the outcomes of 100 BRCA1/2-mutated PSROC patients treated at our institute, analyzing progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).
