Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a heterogenous autoimmune disorder diagnosed by excluding other conditions. Misdiagnosis of primary ITP occurs in patients with inherited thrombocytopenia and primary immunodeficiency syndromes. This study investigates whether genetic testing for inherited thrombocytopenia or primary immunodeficiency can enhance diagnostic accuracy in ITP, and guide treatment strategies.

Advances in the field of genetics and genomics have had a great impact on the clinical practice of the pediatric nephrologist. Access to diagnostic genetic studies for renal pathologies allows not only to confirm specific diagnoses, but also to provide management and follow-up strategies, knowledge about prognosis, and prevention of complications. In addition, it provides genetic counseling to the patient and family and even helps to make decisions about family donor transplantation.

Spontaneous pneumothorax (SP) is a condition defined by abnormal gas accumulation in the chest cavity. Mutations of the collagen type III alpha 1 chain, COL3A1 gene, are primarily linked to vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (vEDS); however, they can also contribute to structural changes in the tissue, like bullae of the lungs. In this case report, we present a young, thinly built boy who died due to a spontaneous pneumothorax.

Fusarium stalk rot is the main factor reducing the quality of maize grain and leads to significant yield losses, which that ranges from 20 to 100%, depending on the degree of infection and weather conditions. Understanding its genetic mechanism is key to improving grain quality and ultimate yield. An experiment with 26 doubled haploid (DH) lines of maize was conducted in the northern part of the Lower Silesia Province in Poland over a ten-year period (2013-2022).

It includes type heterozygous familial hyperlipidemia (heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia). HeFH is mainly caused by mutations in the LDLR, APOB, and PCSK9 genes and is characterized by elevated plasma low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels.
