Post-zygotic mosaicism is a well-known biological phenomenon characterized by the presence of genetically distinct lineages of cells in the same individual due to post-zygotic de novo mutational events. It has been identified in about 13% of Cornelia de Lange (CdLS) syndrome patients with a molecular diagnosis, an unusual high frequency. Here, we report the case of a patient affected by classic CdLS harboring post-zygotic mosaicism for two different likely pathogenic variants at the same nucleotide position in NIPBL. Double somatic mosaicism has never been reported in CdLS and only rarely recognized in human diseases. Possible pathogenetic mechanisms are discussed.

In this protocol for obtaining doubled haploids plants (DH), we propose a new method for microspore isolation. This method is useful for genotypes of the Brassicaceae family with low responsiveness to DH technology. For such crops, it allows increasing the embryo yield several times and sometimes obtaining embryos for the first time.

The natural ends of chromosomes resemble double-strand breaks (DSBs), which would activate the DNA damage response (DDR) pathway without the protection provided by a specialized protein complex called shelterin. Over the past decades, extensive research has uncovered the mechanism of action and the high degree of specialization provided by the shelterin complex to prevent aberrant activation of DNA repair machinery at chromosome ends in somatic cells. However, recent findings have revealed striking differences in the mechanisms of end protection in stem cells compared to somatic cells.

Background: Fumarate Hydratase (FH)-deficient uterine leiomyomas are a rare type of uterine fibroid associated with somatic or germline mutations in the FH gene. Herein, we report a case of FH-deficient uterine leiomyoma with a double-site mutation of in a 41-year-old woman.
Case Presentation: The woman was found to have an intrauterine mass during a routine physical examination two years prior.

Double-strand breaks (DSBs) are a formidable threat to genome integrity, potentially leading to cancer and various genetic diseases. The prolonged lifespan of mammalian oocytes increases their susceptibility to DNA damage over time. While somatic cells suppress DSB repair during mitosis, oocytes exhibit a remarkable capacity to repair DSBs during meiotic maturation.

An efficient regeneration system was established through somatic embryogenesis and shoot organogenesis using mature embryos explants of peanut cultivar 'Georgia-12Y'. The role of plant growth regulator combinations was investigated for embryogenic callus and somatic embryo induction. Results showed that Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 20 μM picloram (4-amino 3, 5, 6-trichloropicolinic acid), casein hydrolysate (0.
