Objective: To explore the genetic basis for a patient with unexplained developmental delay and special facial features.
Methods: A male patient admitted to the Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital of Gansu Province on May 27, 2021 due to infertility was selected as the study subject. Clinical data of the patient was collected, and genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples from the patient and his parents. Whole exome sequencing (WES) was carried out, and candidate variant was verified by Sanger sequencing.
Results: The patient was found to harbor a 2.54 Mb deletion in 1p36.33p36.32 and a heterozygous c.1123G>C (p.E375Q) variant of the CHD3 gene, neither of which was detected in his parents.
Conclusion: The patient was diagnosed with Snijders Blok-Campeau syndrome in conjunct with 1p36 deletion syndrome, which has enabled genetic counseling for his family.

Background: Segmental chromosome aberrations, defined as presence of aberrations, deletion, or imbalance in the chromosomal arms, have long been considered as a predictor of poor prognosis of patients with neuroblastoma. The objective of this meta-analysis is to quantitively analyze the hazard ratios (HRs) of different whole or segmental chromosome aberrations for overall survival (OS) rate or event-free survival (EFS) rate of patients with neuroblastoma.
Methods: Relevant studies about chromosome, neuroblastoma, predictor, prognosis, and survival published from the inception to April 2023 in the databases of PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science were searched, screened, and reviewed.

In the monosomy 1p36 deletion syndrome, the role of DNA methylation in the genomic stability of the 1p36 region remains elusive. We hypothesize that changes in the methylation pattern at the 1p36 breakpoint hotspot region influenced the chromosomal breakage leading to terminal deletions. From the monosomy 1p36 material collection, four cases with 4.

Background: Glioma is a highly heterogeneous and poorly immunogenic malignant tumor, with limited efficacy of immunotherapy. The characteristics of the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) are one of the important factors hindering the effectiveness of immunotherapy. Therefore, this study aims to reveal the immune microenvironment (IME) characteristics of glioma and predict different immune subtypes using machine learning methods, providing guidance for immune therapy in glioma.

Radio-Tartaglia syndrome (RATARS) (MIM#619312) is a genetic disorder caused by heterozygous truncating variants of SPEN on chromosome 1p36. This syndrome is extremely rare, with only 34 cases reported to date. RATARS is characterized by developmental delay, hypotonia, and intellectual disability.
