Microdeletions of 17q12 encompassing TCF2 are associated with maturity-onset of diabetes of the young type 5, cystic renal disease, pancreatic atrophy, Mullerian aplasia in females and variable cognitive impairment. We report on a patient with a de novo 17q12 microdeletion, 1.8 Mb in size, associated with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). The 5-year-old male patient presented multicystic renal dysplasia kidneys, minor facial dysmorphic features and skeletal anomalies, but neither developmental delay nor behavioral abnormalities. CDH has been previously associated with the 17q12 microdeletion syndrome only in one prenatal case. The present study reinforces the hypothesis that CDH is part of the phenotype for 17q12 microdeletion and that 17q12 encompasses candidate(s) gene(s) involved in diaphragm development. We suggest that PIGW, a gene involved in an early step of GPI biosynthesis, could be a strong candidate gene for CDH.

Article Synopsis
- An infant girl developed widespread blisters and skin peeling, along with fever and cough, showing signs of growth and developmental delays.
- Imaging revealed kidney abnormalities, and genetic testing indicated a deletion on chromosome 17 affecting the HNF1B gene.
- Despite the potential diagnosis of Staphylococcal Scalded Skin Syndrome (SSSS), the child was effectively treated with antibiotics, highlighting an unusual case of 17q12 deletion syndrome with early kidney disease and pre-diabetes.

Article Synopsis
- * Mutations in this gene can disrupt normal function, resulting in renal issues like polycystic kidney disease and structural kidney abnormalities, as well as extrarenal problems like diabetes, genitourinary malformations, and neurodevelopmental disorders.
- * Future research aims to clarify how these genetic changes affect health, which could improve clinical management and support for affected patients and their families.

Article Synopsis
- This study examines the effects of 17q12 copy number variants (CNVs) in fetuses, focusing on their physical characteristics during pregnancy.
- The analysis included 48 fetuses with 17q12 microdeletions or microduplications, revealing that 94.6% of fetuses with deletions showed significant kidney issues, while those with duplications often had duodenal obstructions and cardiac abnormalities.
- Despite the complexity and variability of 17q12 CNVs, the research suggests that the immediate outlook for affected fetuses is generally positive.

Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on the impact of Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor 1-beta (HNF1B) gene variants and chromosome 17q12 deletion (17q12del) on kidney disease progression, particularly chronic kidney disease (CKD), in a large cohort of 521 patients.
- - Findings reveal that patients with the 17q12del experience a significant delay in the progression to CKD stage 3 compared to those with other HNF1B variants, with specific mutations in the DNA-binding domains correlating with even better outcomes.
- - Additionally, the 17q12del is linked to lower magnesium levels (hypomagnesemia) and higher likelihood of elevated uric acid levels (hyperuric

Objective: Agenesis of the corpus callosum (ACC) is an anomaly that can occur in fetuses during pregnancy. However, there is currently no treatment for fetal ACC. Therefore, we conducted a retrospective analysis of obstetric outcomes of fetal ACC to explore the relationship between fetal ACC phenotypes and chromosomal copy number abnormalities.
