Given the crucial role of the personalized management and treatment of hearing loss (HL), etiological investigations are performed early on, and genetic analysis significantly contributes to the determination of most syndromic and nonsyndromic HL cases. Knowing hundreds of syndromic associations with HL, little comprehensive data about HL in genomic disorders due to microdeletion or microduplications of contiguous genes is available. Together with the description of a new patient with a novel 3.7 Mb deletion of the Xq21 critical locus, we propose an unreported literature review about clinical findings in patients and their family members with Xq21 deletion syndrome. We finally propose a comprehensive review of HL in contiguous gene syndromes in order to confirm the role of cytogenomic microarray analysis to investigate the etiology of unexplained HL.

Jacobsen syndrome associated with Shone's complex: a case report.
Rev Paul Pediatr
January 2025
Universidade Estadual do Oeste do Paraná, Cascavel, PR, Brazil.
Objective: The aim of this study was to report the case of a child with Jacobsen syndrome in order to provide phenotypic information about this rare genetic disorder.
Case Description: A 5-year-old female preschooler was diagnosed with Jacobsen syndrome by karyotype testing. She presented with a variety of craniofacial anomalies and malformations, including cardiac impairment, characterized by a cluster of malformations in the left ventricle in line with the diagnosis of Shone's complex.
Williams-Beuren Syndrome and Epilepsy: A Retrospective Analysis of 589 Patients.

Department of Neuropediatrics, University Hospital of Schleswig Holstein, Kiel, Germany.
Although many reports have described the characteristics of Williams-Beuren syndrome, few specifically analyzed epilepsy in patients with Williams-Beuren syndrome. In this retrospective study, we map the prevalence, types, and prognosis of epileptic seizures in a large cohort of 589 patients with Williams-Beuren syndrome, as well as associations between deletions of the membrane-associated guanylate kinase inverted-2-gene (2 gene), which is associated with infantile spasms (IS), and epilepsy in patients with Williams-Beuren syndrome.Our findings indicate that the incidence of epilepsy in patients with Williams-Beuren syndrome is approximately 1.

Queensland Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation, University of Queensland, Brisbane, QLD, Australia.
Rice (Oryza sativa) is a staple food crop globally, with origins in wild progenitors within the AA genome group of Oryza species. Oryza rufipogon and Oryza meridionalis are native to tropical Asia and Northern Australia and offer unique genetic reservoirs. Here we explored the relationships of the genomes of these wild rice species with the domesticated rice genome.
