Objective: To explore the genetic characteristics of a Chinese pedigree with rare mosaic 11q partial duplication and its pathogenetic mechanisms.
Methods: A pedigree which underwent prenatal diagnosis at Wenzhou Central Hospital between September 25, 2015 and November 30, 2023 was selected for the study. Clinical data were collected from the pedigree.

Objective: To explore the clinical significance of trisomy 7 signaled by non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT).
Methods: Pregnant women with high risk for trisomy 7 by NIPT from January 2017 to December 2023 were selected as the study subjects, and the results of prenatal diagnosis and follow-up were analyzed. Literature related to pregnant women with a high risk for trisomy 7 by NIPT from January 2016 to July 2024 was retrieved from China Biomedical Literature Database, Wanfang Database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and PubMed database.

Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is a genetic condition caused by the inheritance of alleles with >200 CGG repeats in the 5' UTR of the fragile X messenger ribonucleoprotein 1 () gene. These full mutation (FM) alleles are associated with DNA methylation and gene silencing, which result in intellectual disabilities, developmental delays, and social and behavioral issues. Mosaicism for both the size of the CGG repeat tract and the extent of its methylation is commonly observed in individuals with the FM.

To evaluate and refine the detection of somatic mosaicism across different technologies with personalized donor-specific assembly (DSA), we obtained tissue from the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) of a post-mortem neurotypical 31-year-old individual. We sequenced bulk DLPFC tissue using Oxford Nanopore Technologies (∼60X), NovaSeq (∼30X), and linked-read sequencing (∼28X).
View Article and Find Full Text PDFWhile the genetic paradigm of cancer etiology has proven powerful, it remains incomplete as evidenced by the widening spectrum of non-cancer cell-autonomous "hallmarks" of cancer. Studies have demonstrated the commonplace presence of high oncogenic mutational burdens in homeostatically-stable epithelia. Hence, the presence of driver mutations alone does not result in cancer.
