Introduction: LDL-cholesterol greater than 190 mg/dL indicates severe hypercholesterolemia (HS) of monogenic and/or polygenic origin. Genetic risk scores (GRS) evaluate potential polygenic causes.
Objective: we applied a GRS of 6-SNP (GRS-6) in HS individuals.

This study presents the first reported case of a Korean patient with Alpha-1,3-Mannosyltransferase-Congenital Disorder of Glycosylation (ALG3-CDG), characterized by a novel maternally inherited missense mutation and a previously reported paternally inherited nonsense mutation. The patient exhibited typical ALG3-CDG manifestations, including developmental delays, epilepsy, and multisystem involvement, alongside a diagnosis of Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS). Cannabidiol therapy, combined with dietary management, led to seizure freedom for over 13 months, significant EEG improvement, and enhanced developmental outcomes.

Lynch syndrome is a genetic condition predisposing to cancer, particularly colorectal cancer and endometrial cancer, due to germline mutations in MisMatch Repair genes. More rarely, Lynch syndrome is the result of a constitutional promoter methylation. This review summarizes the current knowledge about the role of this epigenetic mechanism in the Lynch syndrome.

Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy CADASIL) is a rare inherited disorder in which thickening of the walls of small and medium-sized blood vessels blocks blood flow to the brain. Diagnosis of CADASIL is based on clinical presentation, neuroimaging findings, and genetic predisposition. This disease is uncommon in children; typically, symptoms manifest in individuals between the ages of 20 and 40, though some may exhibit symptoms later in life.

This case report presents markedly different clinical and radiological manifestations of the same disease in a family over three consecutive generations with varying treatment strategies. The index case/proband primarily presented with gastrointestinal symptoms, including diarrhoea, bleeding per rectum and seizures. Further evaluation revealed bilateral renal angiomyolipoma and cerebral subependymal nodules, in conjunction with facial adenoma sebaceum, periungual fibromas and hypomelanotic ash-leaf macules.
