Article Abstract
The heterogeneous phenotype of known syndromes is a clinical challenge, and harmonized description using globally accepted ontology is desirable. This report attempts phenotypic analysis in a patient of constitutional mosaic trisomy 13 in mesoderm and ectoderm to make globally comparable clinical description. Phenotypic features (minor/major abnormalities) were recorded and matched with the Human Phenotype Ontology terms that were used to query web-based tool Phenomizer. We report here a case of 24-year-old girl born to non consanguineous parents with history of one abortion. Her phenotypic evaluation included short columella, low-set ears, seizures, enlarged naris, bifid tongue, infra-orbital fold, smooth philtrum, microtia, microcephaly, carious teeth, downslanted palpebral fissures, proportionate short stature, high palate, thin upper lip vermilion, small for gestational age, broad fingertip, broad hallux, mandibular prognathia and dental malocclusion. Karyotype and interphase FISH (Fluorescence in situ hybridization) was done in blood cells. Interphase FISH was also performed on buccal epithelial cells. Cytogenetic analysis demonstrated trisomy 13 mosaicism in 25% cells i.e. 47, XX,+13(9)/46,XX(27). The interphase FISH in blood cells showed trisomy 13 in 15%, whereas in buccal mucosa cells showed nearly 6%. Mosaic aneuploidy in constitutional karyotype can be responsible for variation in clinical and morphological presentation of patient with genetic disorder.

In patients with mosaic Turner syndrome, the ovarian somatic cells (granulosa and stromal cells) display a high level of aneuploidy with a 45,X karyotype, which may affect gene expression in the ovary and contribute to their reduced fertility. The aim of the current research is to study the effect of aneuploidy of somatic ovarian cells on gene expression in ovarian cortex stromal cells and small ovarian follicles from mosaic (45,X/46,XX) Turner syndrome patients. To this end, ovarian cortical tissue was obtained by laparoscopic surgery from eight mosaic Turner syndrome patients (aged 5-19 years) and eight controls (aged 6-18 years).

Article Synopsis
- Karlodinium veneficum is known for causing toxic blooms that kill fish in estuaries, with toxicity being influenced by the growth rates and stage of the bloom.
- Its growth cycles are expected to align with light and dark periods, but since K. veneficum is mixotrophic (also consuming microalgae), the impact of this on growth and toxin production is not well understood.
- Research showed that mixotrophic cultures of K. veneficum maintained a synchronized cell cycle and produced toxins primarily during light hours, indicating that mixotrophy increases growth rates and plays a role in synchronizing cell cycles with toxin synthesis.

Article Synopsis
- Glioblastoma is the most common and aggressive primary brain tumor, making diagnosis difficult due to its genetic variability and poor prognosis.
- A complex case study utilized multiple cytogenomic methods to identify key genetic markers, revealing classical glioblastoma characteristics and distinct pathological clones.
- The study suggests an integrated approach for diagnosis, focusing on detecting genetic alterations to potentially improve patient outcomes in terms of diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment predictions.
False-positive XXY results by interphase FISH in cytogenetically normal XX individuals: two cases highlighting the necessity of additional laboratory follow-up.

Background: Interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is commonly used for rapid aneuploidy detection in clinical settings. While FISH-based aneuploidy detection provides rapid results desirable for patient management, it usually only utilizes one probe per chromosome, which may lead to rare false-positive findings.
Case Presentation: Here we report two interphase FISH results, which were false-positive for XXY in cytogenetically normal XX individuals.
