The Sox family genes, as a group of transcription factors, are widely expressed in vertebrates and play a critical role in reproduction and development. The present study reported that 26 sox genes were identified from the genome and transcriptome of P. leopardus.

Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) is one of the most common hereditary cancer predisposition syndromes in Brazil. The high frequency of the syndrome is due to a founding variant (R337H) in the country. LFS is characterized by a wide variety of malignant phenotypes.

Unlabelled: The RASopathies are a group of disorders resulting from a germline variant in the genes encoding the Ras/mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway. These disorders include Noonan syndrome (NS), cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome (CFC), Costello syndrome (CS), Legius syndrome (LS), and neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), and have overlapping clinical features due to RAS/MAPK dysfunction. In this study, we aimed to describe the clinical and molecular features of patients exhibiting phenotypic manifestations consistent with RASopathies.

Background: Current clinical sequencing methods cannot effectively detect DNA methylation and allele-specific variation to provide parent-of-origin information from the proband alone. Parent-of-origin effects can lead to differential disease and the inability to assign this in de novo cases limits prognostication in the majority of affected individuals with retinoblastoma, a hereditary cancer with suspected parent-of-origin effects.
Methods: To directly assign parent-of-origin in retinoblastoma patients, genomic DNA was extracted from blood samples for sequencing using a programmable, targeted single-molecule long-read DNA genomic and epigenomic approach.

Etiological links to multiple myeloma (MM) remain poorly understood, though emerging evidence suggests a significant hereditary component. This review integrates current literature on inherited factors contributing to MM risk, synthesizing both epidemiologic and genomic data. We examine familial clustering patterns, assess genome-wide association studies (GWAS) that reveal common genetic variants linked to MM, and explore rare, high-penetrance variants in key susceptibility genes.
