Introduction: LDL-cholesterol greater than 190 mg/dL indicates severe hypercholesterolemia (HS) of monogenic and/or polygenic origin. Genetic risk scores (GRS) evaluate potential polygenic causes.
Objective: we applied a GRS of 6-SNP (GRS-6) in HS individuals.

Objective: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a heterogeneous disease which manifests as different subphenotypes. Distinct subphenotypes, such as lupus nephritis (LN), have been associated with increased genetic risk, but prior studies have been limited by cross-sectional and imprecisely subphenotyped cohorts. This study investigated the genetic basis for LN using a longitudinal cohort of distinctly subphenotyped patients.

Purpose: To clarify the status of multigene panel testing for suspected hereditary breast cancer in our institute, and disclose the characteristics of the variants detected.
Methods: This was a retrospective study of individuals who underwent next-generation sequencing-based multigene panel testing at our institute to investigate hereditary genetic variants for suspected hereditary breast cancer.
Results: We identified 36 women who underwent multigene panel testing: 8 (22.

Lithium has long been used as a cornerstone mood stabilizer in the treatment of bipolar disorder (BD). However, reliable biomarkers that can predict which patients will respond better to lithium are still lacking. This study aims to evaluate the potential of NR1D1 gene SNP; rs2071427 and actigraphic measurements in predicting lithium response.

Objective: Pathogenic variants in B-cell receptor-associated protein (BCAP31) are associated with X-linked, deafness, dystonia and cerebral hypomyelination (DDCH) syndrome. DDCH is congenital and non-progressive, featuring severe intellectual disability (ID), variable dysmorphism, and sometimes associated with shortened survival. BCAP31 encodes one of the most abundant chaperones, with several functions including acting as a negative regulator of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) calcium ion (Ca) concentration.
