Objective: Chromosomal variations are known to play a role in the etiology of fetal growth restriction (FGR). Here, we intend to investigate the significance of Chromosomal Microarray Analysis (CMA) in the prenatal diagnosis of definite FGR.
Method: 182 pregnant women with FGR participated in our study, undergoing CMA to identify chromosomal abnormalities. The cohort was categorized into isolated FGR, FGR with ultrasound soft marker abnormalities, and FGR associated with structural malformations.
Results: The detection rates of PCNVs in FGR with structural anomalies are significantly higher than those in the isolated FGR group and the FGR group with abnormal ultrasound soft markers (19.0% vs. 2.1%, 19% vs. 1.5%; χ²=9.33, p = 0.005). Compared to FGR with a single system malformation, the diagnostic rate of chromosomal variations in FGR with multiple system malformations is markedly increased (60% vs. 6.3%; p = 0.028). Advanced maternal age, early-onset FGR, and severe FGR do not appear to influence the diagnostic rate of chromosomal variations (p > 0.05).
Conclusion: Chromosomal variations pose a significant risk in FGR with structural abnormalities, associated with the number of organ systems involved. Notably, advanced maternal age, early-onset FGR, and severe FGR do not affect the diagnostic rate of chromosomal variations in FGR.

Left-right asymmetry is an important aspect of human brain organization for functions including language and hand motor control, which can be altered in some psychiatric traits. The last 5 years have seen rapid advances in the identification of specific genes linked to variation in asymmetry of the human brain and/or handedness. These advances have been driven by a new generation of large-scale genome-wide association studies, carried out in samples ranging from roughly 16,000 to over 1.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most prevalent malignant brain tumor with poor prognosis. Although chromatin intratumoral heterogeneity is a characteristic feature of GBM, most current studies are conducted at a single tumor site. To investigate the GBM-specific 3D genome organization and its heterogeneity, we conducted Hi-C experiments in 21 GBM samples from nine patients, along with three normal brain samples.

Sweetness is a main component of the table beet (Beta vulgaris L.) flavor profile and a key determinant of its market success for fresh consumption. Total dissolved solids (TDS) is a proxy for sugar content in produce and are easily measured through a refractometer, making TDS valuable in breeding programs focused on increasing sweetness.
