Purpose: To enhance the detection rate of Neonatal Intrahepatic Cholestasis caused by Citrin Deficiency (NICCD) through newborn screening (NBS), we analyzed the metabolic profiles of missed patients and proposed a more reliable method for early diagnosis.
Methods: In this retrospective study, NICCD patients were classified into "Newborn Screening" (64 individuals) and "Missed Screening" (52 individuals) groups. Metabolic profiles were analyzed using the non-derivatized MS/MS Kit, and genetic mutations were identified via next-generation sequencing and confirmed by Sanger sequencing.

Mucopolysaccharidosis Type Ⅱ, as Known as Hunter syndrome, is a rare X-liked genetic disease caused by mutations in iduronate-2-sulfatase (IDS) gene. We obtained peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from a patient with a severe type of Hunter syndrome carrying c.418 + 495_1006 + 1304 deletion in the IDS gene.

PGK1 (phosphoglycerate kinase-1) is required for ATP production in the body. Mutation in the PGK1 gene causes a rare, inherited metabolic disorder causing deficiency of enzyme PGK1, leading to hemolytic anemia, neurological symptoms, and muscle weakness. We generated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from a patient carrying a PGK1 variant by isolating fibroblasts from skin punch biopsy and reprogramming using CytoTune iPS 2.

Purpose: Less than 5% of GI stromal tumors (GISTs) are driven by the loss of the succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) complex, resulting in a pervasive DNA hypermethylation pattern that leads to unique clinical features. Advanced SDH-deficient GISTs are usually treated with the same therapies targeting KIT and PDGFRA receptors as those used in metastatic GIST. However, these treatments display less activity in the absence of alternative therapeutic options.

In this study, we measured human epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations in both tissue and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) by using beads, emulsions, amplifications and magnetic polymerase chain reaction (BEAMing PCR). Noninvasive mutation detection by assessing circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) offers many advantages over tumor biopsy. One hundred non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients were enrolled, and both preoperative plasma samples and formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples were collected for the study.
