We report a father and son with the syndrome of cholestasis and peripheral pulmonic stenosis. These cases demonstrate the clinical and biochemical features noted in previous reports of this entity and allows us to differentiate clearly this syndrome, with its benign course, from other more progressive forms of intrahepatic cholestasis. The vertical transmission supports a genetic etiology for this disease. Although serum bile acid levels are elevated in these patients, the individual bile acids do not display a distinctive pattern and no abnormal bile acids are identified.

Empathic stress is the reproduction of psychological and physiological stress activation in an observer of a directly stressed target individual. It likely allows us to allocate the energy necessary to jointly alleviate a stressor at hand. The tendency to show such an empathic or "second-hand" stress response depends on the relationship between target and observer.

Evaluation of RMplex system for differentiating father-son pairs using Y-STRs in a Korean population.

Forensic Sci Int Genet

January 2025

Forensic DNA Division, National Forensic Service, Wonju, South Korea. Electronic address:

Y-chromosomal short tandem repeats (Y-STRs) at rapidly mutating (RM) loci have been suggested as tools for differentiating paternally related males. RMplex is a recently developed system that incorporates 26 RM loci and four fast-mutating (FM) loci, targeting 44 male-specific loci. Here, we evaluated the RMplex by estimating Y-STR mutation rates and the overall differentiation rates for 542 Korean father-son pairs, as well as the genetic population values for 409 unrelated males.
