The results of the segregation analysis of hereditary adenomatous polyposis and primary cancer of the colon are given, taking into account the age-dependent manifestation of genotypes and the specificity of pedigree sampling. The results are used for testing the hypothesis of pleiotropic monogenic control of these two colon pathologies.

The mitochondrial ribosome (mitoribosome) synthesizes 13 protein subunits of the oxidative phosphorylation system encoded by the mitochondrial genome. The mitoribosome is composed of 12S rRNA, 16S rRNA, and 82 mitoribosomal proteins encoded by nuclear genes. To date, variants in 12 genes encoding mitoribosomal proteins are associated with rare monogenic disorders and frequently show combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency.

Background: Drugs targeting disease causal genes are more likely to succeed for that disease. However, complex disease causal genes are not always clear. In contrast, Mendelian disease causal genes are well-known and druggable.

Infertility, affecting ∼10% of men, is predominantly caused by primary spermatogenic failure (SPGF). We screened likely pathogenic and pathogenic (LP/P) variants in 638 candidate genes for male infertility in 521 individuals presenting idiopathic SPGF and 323 normozoospermic men in the ESTAND cohort. Molecular diagnosis was reached for 64 men with SPGF (12%), with findings in 39 genes (6%).
