Buschke-Ollendorf Syndrome (BOS) is a benign autosomal dominant disorder caused by pathogenic mutations in . Here, we describe a family diagnosed to have varied phenotypes associated with BOS. Single gene testing of detected a heterozygous frameshift pathogenic variant in both the affected family members. Besides the phenotypic description, this report highlights the need for a comprehensive evaluation in connective tissue disorders and the importance of genotype-phenotype correlation in BOS.

Long-read sequencing has emerged as a transformative technology in recent years, offering significant potential for the molecular diagnosis of unresolved genetic disorders. Despite its promise, the comprehensive detection and clinical annotation of genomic variants remain intricate and technically demanding. We present SUMMER, an integrated and structured workflow specifically designed to process raw Nanopore sequencing reads.

In recent years, infection is a major global public health concern, particularly in food safety. This study analyzed the genomes of 102 strains isolated between 2016 and 2023 from food, foodborne disease patients, and food poisoning incidents, focusing on their molecular characteristics, antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), and virulence genes. serovar Enteritidis (37.

Unlabelled: Streptolysin O (SLO) is a virulence determinant of group A (), the agent of streptococcal sore throat and severe invasive infections. SLO is a member of a family of bacterial pore-forming toxins known as cholesterol-dependent cytolysins, which require cell membrane cholesterol for pore formation. While cholesterol is essential for cytolytic activity, accumulating data suggest that cell surface glycans may also participate in the binding of SLO and other cholesterol-dependent cytolysins to host cells.

Background: X-linked intellectual disability (XLID) is a genetically heterogeneous disorder that results in cognitive impairment and developmental delays. Mutations in the KDM5C gene have been identified as a causative factor in XLID. This study aimed to identify novel variants associated with XLID and to investigate the clinical and genetic characteristics of XLID patients with mutations in the KDM5C gene.

Objectives: To identify a method for breast cancer (BC) surveillance in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) with germline BRCA1/2 pathogenic variants (gBRCA1/2m) and the incidence of BC after EOC in the era of broad PARP inhibitors use.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the data on EOC patients who had gBRCA1/2m by genetic testing between January 2017 and August 2023 in our single center.
Results: Of 125 patients with EOC, 33 had gBRCA1/2m.
