Introduction: The aetiology of autosomal dominant mental retardation type 1, also known as pseudo-Angelman, MBD5-associated neurodevelopmental disorder or MBD5 haploinsufficiency, lies in a microdeletion of chromosome 2q23.1 or in a specific alteration of the MBD5 gene, which constitutes the minimum region affected in the aforementioned microdeletion.
Aim: To report the case of a girl with a heterozygous de novo mutation in the MBD5 gene associated with bilateral band heterotopia and polymicrogyria.
Case Report: We report the case of an 8-year-old girl who was submitted to a developmental follow-up from the age of 18 months after presenting the association of severe intellectual disability and motor delay, lack of language development, segmental hypotonia, a wide forehead and kyphoscoliosis. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain revealed the presence of a bilateral band heterotopia and parietooccipital polymicrogiria predominant on the left side. In the exome the de novo heterozygous variant c.397+1G>C was detected in the MBD5 gene.
Conclusion: This is the first observation of a heterozygous mutation in the MBD5 gene associated with a neuronal migration disorder.

Objective: To explore the association between 75 candidate genes previously reported in subjects with anxiety symptoms (AS) and depressive symptoms (DS) in a Mexican cohort.
Methods: The sample included 2012 individuals from the Mexican Genomic Database for Addiction Research (MxGDAR/Encodat) cohort, 198 showed AS, 266 DS, 66 anxiety and depressive symptoms (ADS), and 1482 healthy controls. The DI-PAD screening questionnaire was used to evaluate lifetime AS and DS.

Article Synopsis
- Structural variations (SVs) significantly impact neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), and traditional exome sequencing (ES) struggles to identify these variations, prompting the exploration of optical genome mapping (OGM) as an alternative.
- This study utilized a combination of OGM and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) to assess SVs in 43 NDD patients who received inconclusive ES results, ultimately validating candidate SVs and evaluating their pathogenicity.
- The results revealed successful identification of four SVs, confirming pathogenicity in three cases related to specific genes, and highlighting a complex chromosomal rearrangement in the fourth case that conventional analyses had underestimated.

The uncertainty resulting from missing genotypes in low-coverage whole-genome sequencing (LCWGS) data complicates genotype imputation. The aim of this study is to find out an optimal strategy for accurately imputing LCWGS data and assess its effectiveness for genomic prediction (GP) and genome-wide association study (GWAS) on economically important traits of Large White pigs. The LCWGS data of 1 423 Large White pigs were imputed using three different strategies: (1) using the high-coverage whole-genome sequencing (HCWGS) of 30 key progenitors as the reference panel (Ref_LG); (2) mixing HCWGS of key progenitors with LCWGS (Mix_HLG) and (3) self-imputation in LCWGS (Within_LG).

Despite advances in next generation sequencing (NGS), genetic diagnoses remain elusive for many patients with neurologic syndromes. Long-read sequencing (LRS) and optical genome mapping (OGM) technologies improve upon existing capabilities in the detection and interpretation of structural variation in repetitive DNA, on a single haplotype, while also providing enhanced breakpoint resolution. We performed LRS and OGM on two patients with known chromosomal rearrangements and inconclusive Sanger or NGS.
