A 28-year-old pregnant woman had acute superficial thrombophlebitis in the right axilla. Aside from pregnancy, there were no risk factors for hypercoagulability. This case is presented as a variant of Mondor's disease. The pendulous breasts associated with her pregnancy and strenuous lifting may have predisposed the patient to the disease.

Benefits of HIV-1 transmission cluster surveillance: a French retrospective observational study of the molecular and epidemiological co-evolution of recent circulating recombinant forms 94 and 132.

Introduction: Molecular surveillance is an important tool for detecting chains of transmission and controlling the HIV epidemic. This can also improve our knowledge of molecular and epidemiological factors for the optimization of prevention. Our objective was to illustrate this by studying the molecular and epidemiological evolution of the cluster including the new circulating recombinant form (CRF) 94_cpx of HIV-1, detected in 2017 and targeted by preventive actions in 2018.

In chronic lymphocytic leukemia, the reliability of next-generation sequencing (NGS) to detect variants ≤10% allelic frequency (low-VAF) is debated. We tested the ability to detect 23 such variants in 41 different laboratories using their NGS method of choice. The sensitivity was 85.

Autosomal recessive deficiency of the IFNAR1 or IFNAR2 chain of the human type I IFN receptor abolishes cellular responses to IFN-α, -β, and -ω, underlies severe viral diseases, and is globally very rare, except for IFNAR1 and IFNAR2 deficiency in Western Polynesia and the Arctic, respectively. We report 11 human IFNAR1 alleles, the products of which impair but do not abolish responses to IFN-α and -ω without affecting responses to IFN-β. Ten of these alleles are rare in all populations studied, but the remaining allele (P335del) is common in Southern China (minor allele frequency ≈2%).

Article Synopsis
- The study assesses 24 patients with Nemaline myopathy type 6 (NEM6) in the Netherlands, focusing on detailed clinical characteristics and symptom reporting.
- Key findings include reported symptoms of muscle weakness, slow movements, and difficulties with running, along with significantly reduced health-related quality of life and increased fatigue.
- The research also highlights issues with balance and falls, as well as a slower muscle relaxation rate compared to normal standards.
Surfactant protein B deficiency: the RespiRare cohort.

Article Synopsis
- ChILD is a group of rare and severe lung diseases in children, with some cases linked to deficiencies in surfactant protein B (SP-B).
- The RespiRare network helps to gather detailed information about the characteristics and genetic backgrounds of these patients.
- A study involving 11 patients found that those with complete SP-B deficiency showed symptoms at birth and had a median survival of 1 month, while rarer cases with partial SP-B function might have a better chance of survival.
