Variants in the hereditary cancer-associated and genes can alter RNA splicing, producing transcripts that encode internally truncated yet potentially functional proteins. However, few studies have quantitatively analyzed variant-specific splicing isoforms. Here, we investigated cells heterozygous and homozygous for the :c.

The advancement of next-generation sequencing has spurred the growing adoption of whole-exome sequencing (WES) for genetic screening. Preimplantation genetic testing for monogenic disorders (PGT-M) can effectively prevent the transmission of pathogenic variants. However, interpreting vast data volumes and ensuring precise genetic counseling, especially with variants of uncertain significance (VUS), remains challenging.

Background: Variants in the GABRA2 gene, which encodes the α2 subunit of the γ-aminobutyric acid A receptor, have been linked to a rare form of developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE) referred to as DEE78. Only eight patients have been reported globally. This study presents the clinical presentation and genetic analysis of a Chinese family with a child diagnosed with DEE78, due to a novel GABRA2 variant.

Constitutional platelet disorders have become better understood since Bernard and Soulier first described a case in 1948. Their diagnosis can also be challenging due to overlap in clinical presentation and lab findings with platelet type von Willebrand. Bernard-Soulier syndrome is a disorder caused by GPIb receptor mutations that decrease its affinity for von Willebrand factor resulting in reduced platelet function and macrothrombocytopenia.
