Forty novel HLA class I and class II alleles were identified in umbilical cord blood (UCB) samples and categorized based on various types of mutations: non-synonymous, synonymous, frameshift, and premature termination codon. This study described 14 novel HLA-A alleles, 9 novel HLA-B alleles, 4 novel HLA-C alleles, 3 novel HLA-DRB1 alleles and 10 novel HLA-DQB1 alleles. Comparing the new allele sequence with the most homologous sequence, 60% of the novel alleles exhibited non-synonymous substitution, 32.5% observed with synonymous substitution, 5% displayed premature stop codon, and 2.5% presented with frameshift mutation. The majority of the new alleles contained a single nucleotide variation when compared with the most similar sequence.

Warfarin is the most widely used oral anticoagulant in clinical practice. The cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9), vitamin K epoxide reductase complex 1 (VKORC1), and cytochrome P450 4F2 (CYP4F2) genotypes are associated with warfarin dose requirements in China. Accurate genotyping is vital for obtaining reliable genotype-guided warfarin dosing information.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a chronic, progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cognitive decline, memory loss, and impaired reasoning. It is the leading cause of dementia in older adults, marked by the pathological accumulation of amyloid-beta plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. These pathological changes lead to widespread neuronal damage, significantly impacting daily functioning and quality of life.

Background: Disruptions in proteostasis are recognized as key drivers in cerebro- and cardiovascular disease progression. Heat shock proteins (HSPs), essential for maintaining protein stability and cellular homeostasis, are pivotal in neuroperotection. Consequently, deepening the understanding the role of HSPs in ischemic stroke (IS) risk is crucial for identifying novel therapeutic targets and advancing neuroprotective strategies.

To investigate the clinical and genetic characteristics of nonsyndromic sensorineural hearing loss caused by biallelic variation. A child with hearing impairment who was diagnosed at Gansu Provincial Maternal and Child Health Hospital on May 2022 and was selected as the research object. Peripheral blood of the child and her parents was collected, genomic DNA was extracted.
