Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a degenerative neuromuscular condition resulting from a homozygous deletion of the survival motor neuron 1 () gene in 95% of patients. A timely diagnosis via newborn screening (NBS) and initiating treatment before the onset of symptoms are critical for improving health outcomes in affected individuals. We carried out a screening test by quantitative PCR (qPCR) to amplify the exon seven of using dried blood spot (DBS) samples.

Olfactory disorders have so far played a subordinate role in pediatric care, although children can also be affected. Due to a lack of awareness, the diagnosis can often only be made after numerous visits to the doctor, although it can significantly impact the quality of life. Olfactory disorders in adults are usually acquired, while congenital causes dominate in children.

Cancer is the leading cause of death from disease in children. Survival depends not only on surgery, cytostatic drugs, and radiation but also on systemic immune responses. Factors influencing these immune responses in children of different ages and tumor types are unknown.

Genetic diagnosis of rare diseases requires accurate identification and interpretation of genomic variants. Clinical and molecular scientists from 37 expert centers across Europe created the Solve-Rare Diseases Consortium (Solve-RD) resource, encompassing clinical, pedigree and genomic rare-disease data (94.5% exomes, 5.
