First-trimester application of expanded non-invasive prenatal testing in the genetic investigation of fetal 1p36 deletion syndrome associated with a familial unbalanced reciprocal translocation of 46,XX,der(1)t(1;2) (p36.2;q37.3)dmat.

Article Synopsis
- A case study discussed the use of expanded non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) to detect 1p36 deletion syndrome in a 37-year-old woman undergoing pregnancy via in vitro fertilization.* -
- The NIPT was positive for a genetic issue at 13 weeks, but tragically, the pregnancy ended with intrauterine fetal death after a follow-up amniocentesis, which confirmed chromosomal abnormalities.* -
- The findings highlight the efficacy of NIPT for early detection of genetic disorders, specifically familial unbalanced reciprocal translocation, which can aid in prenatal genetic counseling.*
Uncovering Deletion/Insertion Mutations in Veno-Occlusive Disease with Immunodeficiency Syndrome in An Iranian Family: A Case Report.

Department of Genetics, Faculty of Advanced Science and Technology, Tehran Medical Sciences, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, Iran.
Article Synopsis
- - Veno-occlusive disease with immunodeficiency (VODI) syndrome is a rare genetic disorder with immune system issues and high mortality, linked to mutations on chromosome 2q37.1, particularly concerning tuberculosis.
- - A case study of a three-year-old girl with suspected immunodeficiency utilized whole-exome sequencing (WES) to find and confirm pathogenic mutations, revealing a novel deletion-insertion mutation affecting the SP110 protein.
- - This research aims to improve the diagnosis of VODI syndrome by identifying various mutations in the SP110 gene, which could lead to targeted therapies and better treatment options.

Article Synopsis
- Chromosomal 2q37 deletion syndrome results in significant developmental delays and various congenital anomalies, which complicate cardiac management in affected patients.
- The case study of an 8-month-old boy highlights severe heart defects and a challenging recovery that included prolonged support due to complications like junctional ectopic tachycardia.
- The findings emphasize the need for personalized, multidisciplinary care and inform ongoing research on how genetic variations impact clinical outcomes in this rare syndrome.
Chromosomal translocation resolves a diagnostic odyssey for familial Ruvalcaba syndrome.

Division of Medical Genetics, Department of Medicine, University of Washington School of Medicine, Seattle, Washington, USA.
In 1971, Ruvalcaba and colleagues reported a new syndrome in two brothers with severe intellectual disability, dysmorphic features, osseous dysplasia, and overlapping features in two intellectually disabled female maternal first cousins. No genetic cause was identified. We report on updated genomic studies and clinical follow-up in this family, including one of the original probands and their niece, whose own lifelong diagnostic odyssey had been unresolved for over four decades.
