Article Synopsis
  • Ventricular septal defects (VSDs) are common congenital heart diseases, making up about 40% of cardiac malformations and can occur alone or with other defects.
  • The genetic causes of VSD are complex, involving chromosomal abnormalities and gene mutations, including known syndromes like DiGeorge and Holt-Oram.
  • Recent advancements like comparative genomic hybridization have revealed numerous copy number variations linked to VSD, highlighting the genetic diversity in affected patients.

  • Seminomas are similar to early-stage germ cells and often have an extra piece of chromosome 12.
  • Researchers are studying seminomas using special cells from patients to understand what causes this cancer and how it forms, since there aren't any mouse models to help with this research.

Pallister-Killian syndrome (PKS; OMIM #601803) is a rare genetic disorder typically characterized by developmental delay, seizures, sparse temporal hair, and facial dysmorphisms. PKS is most frequently caused by mosaic supernumerary isochromosome 12p. Here, we report a 27-month-old girl with a prenatal diagnosis of PKS and a histopathological diagnosis of pineocytoma.
