We generated two human induced pluripotent cell (hiPSC) isogenic clones from an 11-year-old patient with 6q27 deletion syndrome. The heterozygous deletion encompasses approximately 240 kilobases, affecting 6 genes (promoter region of WDR27, coding regions of C6orf120, PHF10, DYNLT2, ERMARD, LINC00242). The patient suffered from epilepsy, psychosocial retardation, and a metabolic disorder. The patient also had a history of SHH-medulloblastoma as an infant. The generated hiPSCs represent a useful tool for modelling 6q27 deletion syndrome in vitro and understanding the molecular basis of the disorder.

Educational attainment (EA), socioeconomic status (SES) and cognition are phenotypically and genetically linked to health outcomes. However, the role of copy number variations (CNVs) in influencing EA/SES/cognition remains unclear. Using a large-scale (n = 305,401) genome-wide CNV-level association analysis, we discovered 33 CNV loci significantly associated with EA/SES/cognition, 20 of which were novel (deletions at 2p22.

Article Synopsis
- Chordoma is a rare bone cancer affecting mainly adults, with an average diagnosis age of 45.5 years; it is most commonly found in the clivus, spinal column, and sacrum.
- A large majority of patients (97.5%) underwent surgery, and many also received supplementary treatments; however, no significant cancer types appeared frequently among patients' families aside from the most common cancers.
- Genomic analysis of tumor samples revealed recurrent mutations, notably in PIK3CA, and differences in genetic alterations based on the tumor location, indicating a complex relationship between tumor genetics and clinical outcomes.

Objective: To explore the role of a new blood-based, multiomics and multidimensional method for evaluating the efficacy of patients with lymphoma.
Methods: 10 ml peripheral blood was extracted from each patient, and the genomic copy number aberrations (CNA) and fragment size (FS) were evaluated by low-depth whole genome sequencing of cfDNA, and the level of a group of plasma tumor marker (PTM) were detected at the same time. The cancer efficacy score (CES) was obtained by standardized transformation of the value of above three numerical indexes, and the changes of CES before and after treatment were compared to evaluate the patient's response to the treatment regimen.
