There is a need for dwarf and narrow lobed-leaves rapeseed cultivars to reduce transpiration under drought prone areas. A dwarf mutant line 'H2M-1' and a mutant with reduced lobed-leaf 'H2M-2' were developed. To exploit these mutated traits properly in an effective breeding program, one should understand their mode of inheritance. There are conflicting findings for plant dwarfism and limited studies for leaf size in mutant genetic backgrounds. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the inheritance of dwarfism and narrow lobed-leaf mutated traits. Plants of the wild-type variety 'INRA-CZH2' were reciprocally crossed with plants of the line 'H2M-1' and plants of the line 'H2M-2'. A genetic study was conducted by analyzing segregation of mutated traits in F, F and BCF generations. The results revealed that two recessive genes with dominant epistasis action controlled the heredity of plant height in the dwarf line, whereas only a single recessive gene is involved in determining reduced lobed-leaf in the line H2M-2. Thus, there is a possibility to easily and quickly transfer these characters into rapeseed breeding germplasm or varieties towards the development of suitable cultivars for areas marked by increasing drought stress.

In this study, we performed a comparative analysis based on a total of 255 spider mitogenomes and four outgroups, of which the mitogenomes of 39 species were assembled de novo, to explore the phylogenetic relationships and the adaptive evolution of mitogenomes. Results showed that had the longest mitochondrial length and the most pronounced codon preference to be UUA, followed by CCU. Codon usage frequencies were similar between families and codon usage in the mitogenome of spiders was mainly influenced by natural selection pressures rather than G/C mutation bias.

Objective: In this study, we examined the genetic, medical, and molecular traits of two Han Chinese families with the tRNA G5783A mutation to investigate the relationship between mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations and major depressive disorder (MDD).
Methods: Clinical data and comprehensive mitochondrial genomes were collected from the two families. Variants were assessed for evolutionary conservation, allelic frequencies, and their structural and functional impacts.

We report a rare case of a 45-year-old Asian male patient with concurrent multiple myeloma (MM), immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), and thalassemia trait, presenting with severe thrombocytopenia, back pain, and bleeding manifestations. The diagnosis was established through a combination of laboratory findings, imaging, and bone marrow biopsy, revealing 90% plasma cell involvement and KRAS/BRCA2 mutations. Management focused on controlling ITP with corticosteroids, rituximab, and platelet transfusions while addressing immunosuppression risks.

This case is the first reported patient with a gene mutation who primarily exhibits pronounced inattention as the main manifestation and is diagnosed with ADHD, requiring methylphenidate treatment. It is characterized by unique clinical features that set it apart from previously reported cases with mutations in the gene. Here, we report a female child with a diagnosis of ADHD and comorbidities.

Background: Cancer mutations are often assumed to alter proteins, thus promoting tumorigenesis. However, how mutations affect protein expression-in addition to gene expression-has rarely been systematically investigated. This is significant as mRNA and protein levels frequently show only moderate correlation, driven by factors such as translation efficiency and protein degradation.
