Background: Copy number variants (CNVs) contribute significantly to normal and pathogenic genomic variations. Chromosome 17q12 microdeletion is implicated in structural or functional kidney and urethral abnormalities, MODY5 (type 5 diabetes), and neurodevelopmental or neuropsychiatric disorders. Conversely, microduplication of 17q12, though rare, elevates the risk of epilepsy and mental retardation.
Case Presentation: This study focuses on a 33-year-old woman (gravida 1, para 0) who underwent amniocentesis at 22 weeks gestation due to bilateral hyperechogenic kidneys observed on prenatal ultrasound.
Results: Chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) unveiled a 1.46-Mb microdeletion on chromosome 17q12 in the fetus, spanning positions 35,802,057 to 37,261,945 (hg19). Trio whole-exome sequencing (WES) revealed 17q12 microdeletion in the fetus and 17q12 microduplication in the father. Notably, at the 3-year follow-up, the baby exhibited a normal phenotype.
Conclusions: This research provides a comprehensive description of the phenotype in a rare family featuring 17q12 microdeletion and microduplication. Employing a combination of karyotype analysis, CMA, WES, prenatal ultrasound, and genetic counseling proves helpful in the prenatal diagnosis of chromosomal microdeletions/microduplications.

Article Synopsis
- An infant girl developed widespread blisters and skin peeling, along with fever and cough, showing signs of growth and developmental delays.
- Imaging revealed kidney abnormalities, and genetic testing indicated a deletion on chromosome 17 affecting the HNF1B gene.
- Despite the potential diagnosis of Staphylococcal Scalded Skin Syndrome (SSSS), the child was effectively treated with antibiotics, highlighting an unusual case of 17q12 deletion syndrome with early kidney disease and pre-diabetes.

Article Synopsis
- * Mutations in this gene can disrupt normal function, resulting in renal issues like polycystic kidney disease and structural kidney abnormalities, as well as extrarenal problems like diabetes, genitourinary malformations, and neurodevelopmental disorders.
- * Future research aims to clarify how these genetic changes affect health, which could improve clinical management and support for affected patients and their families.

Article Synopsis
- This study examines the effects of 17q12 copy number variants (CNVs) in fetuses, focusing on their physical characteristics during pregnancy.
- The analysis included 48 fetuses with 17q12 microdeletions or microduplications, revealing that 94.6% of fetuses with deletions showed significant kidney issues, while those with duplications often had duodenal obstructions and cardiac abnormalities.
- Despite the complexity and variability of 17q12 CNVs, the research suggests that the immediate outlook for affected fetuses is generally positive.

Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on the impact of Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor 1-beta (HNF1B) gene variants and chromosome 17q12 deletion (17q12del) on kidney disease progression, particularly chronic kidney disease (CKD), in a large cohort of 521 patients.
- - Findings reveal that patients with the 17q12del experience a significant delay in the progression to CKD stage 3 compared to those with other HNF1B variants, with specific mutations in the DNA-binding domains correlating with even better outcomes.
- - Additionally, the 17q12del is linked to lower magnesium levels (hypomagnesemia) and higher likelihood of elevated uric acid levels (hyperuric
