Objective: To explore the clinical and molecular characteristics of a child with Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG).
Methods: A 4-month-old boy who had presented at the Children's Hospital Affiliated to Zhejiang University Medical School on December 31, 2019 due to feeding difficulties after birth was selected as the study subject. High-throughput sequencing was carried out for the patient, and real-time qPCR was used for validating the suspected deletion fragments and the carrier status of other members of his family.
Results: High-throughput sequencing revealed that the child had lost the capture signal for chrX: 153 045 645-153 095 809 (approximately 50 kb), which has involved 4 OMIM genes including SRPK3, IDH3G, SSR4 and PDZD4. qPCR verified that the copy number in this region was zero, while that of his elder brother and parents was all normal.
Conclusion: The deletion of the fragment containing the SSR4 gene in the Xq28 region probably underlay the SSR4-CDG in this child.

Identifying the roles of genes in cancer is critical in discovering potential genetic therapies for cancer care. Translocon-associated protein delta (TRAPδ), also known as signal sequence receptor 4 (SSR4), is a constituent unit in the TRAP/SSR complex that resides in the endoplasmic reticulum and plays a key role in transporting newly synthesized proteins into the endoplasmic reticulumn. However, its biological role in disease development remains unknown to date.

Introduction: Lung adenocarcinoma, a disease with complex pathogenesis, high mortality and poor prognosis, is one of the subtypes of lung cancer. Hence, it is very crucial to find novel biomarkers as diagnostic and therapeutic targets for LUAD.
Methods: GSE10072 was used for DEGs and WGCNA, and the intersection genes were subjected to enrichment analysis through Metascape and GSEA.

Atypical porcine pestivirus (APPV) can cause congenital tremor type A-II in neonatal piglets, posing a significant threat to swine herd health globally. Our previous study demonstrated that the Mut domains, comprising 112 amino acids at the N-terminus, are the primary functional regions of the E2 protein of APPV. This study identified 14 host cellular proteins that exhibit potential interactions with the Mut domains of the E2 protein using yeast two-hybrid screening.

Introduction: Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) refer to monogenetic diseases characterized by defective glycosylation of proteins or lipids causing multi-organ disorders. Here, we investigate the clinical features and genetic variants of -CDG and conduct a preliminary investigation of its pathogenesis.
Methods: We retrospectively report the clinical data of a male infant with early life respiratory distress, congenital diaphragmatic eventration, cosmetic deformities, and moderate growth retardation.
