A human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) line (UCLi025-A) was generated from dermal fibroblast cells from a 42-year-old female donor with polyneuropathy, hearing loss, retinitis pigmentosa and early-onset cataract (PHARC) syndrome carrying a homozygous nonsense variant in ABHD12 c.193C>T, p.(Arg65*).

Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3R) mediate Ca2+ release from intracellular stores, contributing to complex regulation of numerous physiological responses. The involvement of the three IP3R genes (ITPR1, ITPR2 and ITPR3) in inherited human diseases has started to shed light on the essential roles of each receptor in different human tissues and cell types. Variants in the ITPR3 gene, which encodes IP3R3, have recently been found to cause demyelinating sensorimotor Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathy type 1J (CMT1J).

CD300a and CD300A, among the CD300 immunoglobulin (Ig)-like receptor family members in mice and humans, respectively, are expressed on myeloid cell lineage. The interaction of CD300a and CD300A with their ligands phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylethanolamine, respectively, exposed on the plasma membrane of dead cells mediate an inhibitory signal in myeloid cells. We previously reported that a neutralizing antimouse CD300a monoclonal antibody (mAb) enhanced efferocytosis by macrophages and ameliorated acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in mice.

Objective: To explore the clinical manifestations and genetic characteristics of a child with Leukoencephalopathy with ataxia (LKPAT) caused by a CLCN2 gene variant.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of a child admitted to Hunan Children's Hospital in June 2024 due to "intermittent convulsions for 13 days". Peripheral blood samples were collected from the child and his parents for whole exome sequencing, followed by Sanger sequencing validation and pathogenicity analysis of candidate variants.

Deficits in social communication, restricted interests, and repetitive behaviours are hallmarks of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Despite high genetic heritability, the majority of clinically diagnosed ASD cases have unknown genetic origins. We performed genome sequencing on mothers, fathers, and affected individuals from 104 families with ASD in Oman, a Middle Eastern country underrepresented in international genetic studies.
