Okur-Chung neurodevelopmental syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant disorder caused by pathogenic variants in , which encodes the alpha 1 catalytic subunit of -casein kinase II. This syndrome is characterized by intellectual disability, developmental delay, and multisystemic -abnormalities including those of the brain, extremities, and skin as well as cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and immune systems. In this study, we describe a 5-year-old boy with a de novo novel nonsense variant in , NM_001895.3:c.319C>T (p.Arg107*). He showed bilateral persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous with microphthalmia, lens dysplasia, and coloboma. Ocular manifestations are very rare in this syndrome, and this study expands the spectrum of the clinical presentations of this syndrome.

Introduction: Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) of the axilla is standard in breast cancer (BC) management; however, its role in prophylactic/contralateral prophylactic mastectomy (CPM) is still questioned. To avoid future consequences on surgical morbidity and socioeconomic aspects in low and middle-income countries (LMICs), we intend to determine the prevalence of occult breast cancer (OBC) among CPM cases.

Objective: To determine the prevalence of OBC in patients undergoing prophylactic mastectomy (PM).

  • Neonatal protein C deficiency can lead to severe conditions like purpura fulminans and has a generally poor prognosis, especially regarding vision.
  • In a study of 38 survivors with biallelic PROC variants, a significant number suffered from severe visual impairments: 23 were totally blind, and only one had normal vision.
  • Prenatal intervention is crucial to enhance visual outcomes, as ocular lesions often present early in these cases, affecting the eyes before other organs.
