Vascular anomalies include benign or malignant tumors or benign malformations of the arteries, veins, capillaries, or lymphatic vasculature. The genetic etiology of the lesion is essential to define the lesion and can help navigate choice of therapy. . In the United States, about 1.2% of the population has a vascular anomaly, which may be underestimating the true prevalence as genetic testing for these conditions continues to evolve.

A novel COL3A1 gene variant associated with sudden death due to spontaneous pneumothorax.

Forensic Sci Med Pathol

January 2025

Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathobiology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada.

Spontaneous pneumothorax (SP) is a condition defined by abnormal gas accumulation in the chest cavity. Mutations of the collagen type III alpha 1 chain, COL3A1 gene, are primarily linked to vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (vEDS); however, they can also contribute to structural changes in the tissue, like bullae of the lungs. In this case report, we present a young, thinly built boy who died due to a spontaneous pneumothorax.

Fusarium stalk rot is the main factor reducing the quality of maize grain and leads to significant yield losses, which that ranges from 20 to 100%, depending on the degree of infection and weather conditions. Understanding its genetic mechanism is key to improving grain quality and ultimate yield. An experiment with 26 doubled haploid (DH) lines of maize was conducted in the northern part of the Lower Silesia Province in Poland over a ten-year period (2013-2022).

Background: Familial hyperlipidemia (familial hypercholesterolemia, FH) is an autosomal genetic disorder. It includes type heterozygous familial hyperlipidemia (heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia). HeFH is mainly caused by mutations in the LDLR, APOB, and PCSK9 genes and is characterized by elevated plasma low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels.
