Objective: To explore the genetic mechanism underlying a case with para-Bombay phenotype.
Methods: The ABO and Lewis phenotype were identified with serological methods. The coding regions of exons 6 and 7 of the ABO and FUT1 genes were amplified with PCR and directly sequenced. Haploid sequence analysis was carried out on the variant sites of the FUT1 gene.
Results: Serological analysis confirmed that the proband has a rare para-Bombay phenotype. Direct sequencing revealed that he was a B.01/O.01.02 heterozygote for the ABO gene, and had heterozygous deletion for the 768 and 881-882 sites of the FUT1 gene. Further haploid analysis showed that the c.881_882delTT deletion has occurred in one haploid while c.768delC was present in the other haploid. The proband was therefore determined as a FUT1*01N.13/01N.20 heterozygote, which have resulted in frameshift in polypeptide chain p.Phe294Cysfs*40 and p.Val257Phefs*23, respectively.
Conclusion: A rare bi-allelic heterozygous deletion of para-Bombay phenotype has been identified in a blood donor. The c.881_882delTT and c.768delC deletions may decrease the activity of α-1,2-fucosyltransferase.

Anterior gradient 2 (AGR2) is a protein disulfide isomerase that is important for protein processing in the endoplasmic reticulum and is essential for mucin production in the digestive and respiratory tracts. Bi-allelic AGR2 variants were recently found to cause recurrent respiratory infections and failure to thrive with or without diarrhea (RIFTD; MIM # 620233), although the mechanisms behind this condition remain unclear. To date, at least 15 patients with homozygous AGR2 variants have been reported.

Leigh syndrome, a severe neurological disorder is commonly caused by homozygous or bi-allelic pathogenic variants in the SURF1 gene. SURF1 deficiency leads to dysfunction of Cytochrome C Oxidase (COX) activity, which is crucial for mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. Understanding COX activity's correlation with disease severity is essential for developing SURF1 Leigh Syndrome biomarkers.

Background: Oligoasthenoteratozoospermia (OAT) is a widespread cause of male infertility. One of the usual clinical manifestations of OAT is multiple morphological abnormalities of the sperm flagella (MMAF), which are frequently associated with mutations and defects in the dynein family. However, the relationship between the newly identified Dynein Axonemal Heavy Chain 3 (DNAH3) mutation and oligonasthenospermia in humans has not yet been established.

Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) is a rare neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disease resulting from bi-allelic pathogenic variants in the ARSA gene. MLD is distinguished clinically based on the age of onset into late-infantile, juvenile, and adult. The late-infantile type is the most severe phenotype presenting with hypotonia, weakness, gait abnormalities, which progresses to mental and physical decline leading to early death.

Bi-allelic pathogenic variants in GRID2 have been initially associated to an autosomal recessive form of spinocerebellar ataxia, namely SCAR18. Subsequently, few monoallelic cases have been described. Here we present a new subject harboring a novel de novo heterozygous GRID2 missense variant presenting with progressive ataxia together with cerebellar atrophy and, for the first time, alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) elevation.
