Pubertal timing is highly variable and is associated with long-term health outcomes. Phenotypes associated with pubertal timing include age at menarche, age at voice break, age at first facial hair and growth spurt, and pubertal timing seems to have a shared genetic architecture between the sexes. However, puberty phenotypes have primarily been assessed separately, failing to account for shared genetics, which limits the reliability of the purported health implications.

Background: This study aimed to develop and validate a targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) panel along with a data analysis algorithm capable of detecting single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) and copy number variations (CNVs) within the beta-globin gene cluster. The aim was to reduce the turnaround time in conventional genotyping methods and provide a rapid and comprehensive solution for prenatal diagnosis, carrier screening, and genotyping of β-thalassemia patients.
Methods And Results: We devised a targeted NGS panel spanning an 80.
Background: Epidemics and pandemics have been shown to have widespread effects on health systems. Diabetes is a condition of particular risk during national emergencies such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of this study is to determine the influence of COVID-19 in the patient's diabetes quality management.

Methods: Blood samples (n = 119) with positive hematology screening results were tested using polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based methods and TGS on the PacBio-Sequel-II-platform, respectively.
Results: Out of the 119 cases, 106 cases showed fully consistent results between the two methods, with TGS identified HBA1/2 and HBB gene mutations in 82 individuals.
Background: Hemoglobin G-Siriraj is a rare hemoglobin variant caused by a β-globin gene mutation (HBB: c.22G>A). The focus of this paper is aimed mainly at the chromatographic and electrophoretic properties of hemoglobin G-Siriraj for a presumptive identification.
