To analyse F11 gene mutations in a Chinese pedigree with hereditary factor XI (FXI) deficiency and investigate the molecular mechanism. The plasma FXI activity and FXI antigen of the proband and the family members were detected by clotting assay and ELISA, respectively. The F11 gene was amplified by PCR and sequenced directly. Online bioinformatics software were needed to analyse the mutations. The proband showed a prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time (93.3 s), whose FXI activity and FXI antigen were low to 2, 4.5%, respectively. A novel mutation c.233T>C (p.Leu60Pro) in exon 4 and a previously described mutation c.1253G>T (Gly400Val) were found in the proband. Protein Leu60 is conserved highly among homologous species. Bioinformatics software indicated that Leu60Pro mutation might affect the protein function. Other coagulation abnormalities were not found. We preliminarily considered the mutations Leu60Pro and Gly400Val were responsible for the decrease FXI level in the family. Leu60Pro mutation in the F11 gene has not been described elsewhere.

Stigma exsertion rate (SER) is a crucial trait that influences the seed production of hybrid rice by determining the outcrossing ability of male sterile lines (MSLs). However, the molecular genetic mechanisms underlying SER are still poorly understood. In this study, we identified 14 quantitative trait loci (QTLs) using a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population derived from B805D-MR-16-8-3 (B805D) and Hua6S.

To analyze the relationship between genotype and clinical phenotype of the MYH7-R453C mutation in five Chinese hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) families. A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 527 unrelated HCM probands who were first diagnosed at the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University (Xijing Hospital) from February 2014 to July 2018, and the high-throughput whole exome targeted sequencing of 96 genes related to hereditary cardiovascular disease was performed on the probands. The probands carrying the MYH7-R453C mutation were screened out, and their family members carrying the mutation were verified using Sanger sequencing.

Article Synopsis
- Terpenoids are diverse natural compounds with significant biological effects, and UbiA terpene synthases play a key role in producing them.
- This study identified a UbiA terpene synthase gene (BgtA) in a marine fungus that produces (-)-α-bergamotene and led to the discovery of eight new bergamotene-derived sesquiterpenoids.
- The research highlights the potential of fungal UbiA terpene synthase gene clusters for generating novel terpenoids, suggesting that mining fungal genomes can be an effective method for uncovering these complex compounds.
Investigating the diagnostic and prognostic significance of genes related to fatty acid metabolism in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most prevalent and lethal cancers worldwide, with death rates increasing by approximately 2-3% per year. The high mortality and poor prognosis of HCC are primarily due to inaccurate early diagnosis and lack of monitoring when liver transplantation is not feasible. Fatty acid (FA) metabolism is a critical metabolic pathway that provides energy and signaling factors in cancer, particularly in HCC, and promotes malignancy.

The prevalence of factor XI (FXI) deficiency is 1 per 10 to 20,000 in the general population, much higher than that reported in most texts. The prevalence is higher in Ashkenazi Jews where it is about 1:20. Clinically, FXI deficiency presents as a mild bleeding disorder mostly associated with posttraumatic or postsurgical hemorrhages or unexplained minor bleeding.
