Stargardt disease (STGD1) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by pathogenic variants in that affects the retina and is characterised by progressive central vision loss. The onset of disease manifestations varies from childhood to early adulthood. Whole exome (WES), whole gene, and whole genome sequencing (WGS) were performed for a patient with STGD1.

Objectives: This study aims to identify new variants and haplotypes associated with monogenic obesity by analyzing known obesity genes in whole exome sequencing (WES) data.
Methods: The monogenic obesity-associated genes were identified by using the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Genetic Testing Registry (GTR) monogenic obesity panels. WES was performed on ( = 49) extremely obese (children under 5 with weight-for-height greater than 3 standard deviations (SD) above the World Health Organization (WHO) Child Growth Standards median) and ( = 50) control nonobese (25 > body mass index (BMI) < 30) subjects without a history of childhood obesity, and also Iranome WES data of healthy subjects ( = 800).

Purpose: To report a novel hemizygous nonsense variant in the CACNA1F gene associated with congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB) in a pediatric patient, emphasizing the utility of portable electroretinography (ERG) and genetic testing in diagnosing unexplained visual impairments.
Methods: The patient, a 5-year-old male, underwent comprehensive clinical evaluation, including detailed anterior segment and fundus examinations, full-field electroretinogram (ffERG) using a RETeval™ portable device, and whole exome sequencing (WES) to elucidate the genetic basis of his visual impairment. Structural modeling of the mutated protein was performed using SWISS-MODEL and PYMOL.

Background: Baraitser-Winter syndrome (BWS) is rare, and no previous reports have described the visual course of patients with this condition. Herein, we report the long-term visual outcomes and ocular features of a 6-year-old patient diagnosed with BWS.
Case Presentation: A 6-year-old female patient visited our clinic complaining of low vision.

Geroderma Osteodysplastica (GO) is a rare autosomal recessive connective tissue disease characterized by wrinkled skin and osteoporosis, two distinct aging-related features. A loss of function mutation in results in the disease. Immediately after birth, a cyanotic female neonate was found to have transposition of great vessels (TGV) that was corrected with an uneventful surgical recovery.
