Objective: In order to study the effect of the polymorphism at the exon2 region of the (3-LG allele gene on milk composition and yield.

Methods: The single-strand conformation polymorphism method (PCR-SSCP) was used to analyze for polymorphism the exon2 region of the 3-LG gene (NCBI accession number: DQ489319) in Chinese Holstein.

Results: Eight SSCP patterns were detected in the fragments: ab, abc, abd, abe, abcd, abce, abde and abcde, and the patterns frequencies as follows: 0.14, 0.10, 0.27, 0.23, 0.05, 0.04, 0.11 and 0.06 (P < 0.05); Six single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) were detected in this study: sitel C>T, site2 T>C, site3 C>T, site4 C>C, site5 C> A, site6 A>T or C, and the polymorphism infonnation content (PIC) of these SNPs were in median or high polymorphism (PIC > 0.25).

Conclusion: These SNPs at the exon2 region of the beta-LG gene were remarkably and affected milk performance traits (milk yield, protein and fat contents) in Chinese Holstein.

Identification of a pathogenic SDHD mutation in a Chinese family with hereditary head and neck paraganglioma: implications for genetic counseling and management.

World J Surg Oncol

January 2025

Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University, No. 119, South Fourth Ring Road West, Fengtai District, Beijing, 100070, China.

Background: This study aims to identify a pathogenic SDHD mutation associated with hereditary head and neck paraganglioma (HNPGL) in a Chinese family and to explore its implications for genetic counseling.

Methods: The study involved a family with 15 members spanning three generations. A 31-year-old patient (II-4) was diagnosed with a left parotid gland tumor and a right carotid body tumor, while both the father and elder sister had right carotid body tumors, and the third sister had bilateral carotid body tumors.

Background: Cat eye syndrome (CES) is a rare congenital disease frequently caused by a partial tetrasomy of the proximal long (q) arm of chromosome 22, due to a small supernumerary marker chromosome (sSMC). CES patients show remarkable phenotypic variability. Despite the progress of molecular cytogenetic technology, the cause of phenotypic variability and the genotype-phenotype correlations remain unknown.

Background: Duchene Muscular Disorder (DMD) is a severe X-linked recessive neuromuscular disease. Previous reports predicted that one-third of cases with a fatal X-linked recessive disease will be caused by a novel mutation, and the mutation rate for DMD seems to be higher in males.

Objective: A novel mutation in the DMD gene DMD (NM_004006.
