Karyotypic analysis in a patient with Peutz-Jeghers' syndrome demonstrated a pericentric inversion on chromosome 6. Further investigation was undertaken using fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) with yeast artificial chromosome clones selected to contain genetic markers from chromosome 6, and a probe for the centromeric alphoid repeat array. This analysis located one inversion breakpoint within the alphoid array, in a 1-cM interval between D6S257 and D6S402, and the other in a 4-cM interval between D6S403 and D6S311. The oestrogen receptor gene locus (ESR) is excluded from the latter interval.

Birds are one of the most diverse groups among terrestrial vertebrates. They evolved from theropod dinosaurs, are closely related to the sauropsid group and separated from crocodiles about 240 million years ago. According to the IUCN, 12% of bird populations are threatened with potential extinction.

This study was aimed to investigate the performance of chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) in prenatal diagnosis compared with traditional karyotyping analysis. Both CMA and karyotyping analyses were performed to detect the karyotypes in the amniotic fluid of 491 pregnant women who got prenatal diagnosis at the Center of Prenatal Diagnosis of Shangrao (China) during January 2019 to April 2021. After excluding 2 samples in the CMA analysis and 2 samples in the karyotyping analysis which were failed in detection, the remaining 487 amniotic fluid samples were detected.

Craniofrontonasal syndrome (CFNS) is an X-linked developmental disorder caused by loss of function variants (LOFVs) in the ephrin B1 (EFNB1) gene located on Xq13.1. In CFNS, unlike in other X-linked disorders, females with heterozygous EFNB1 pathogenic variants (PVs) have a severe phenotype, whereas males carrying hemizygous EFNB1 PVs have a mild phenotype.

Methods: Conventional cytogenetic techniques such as Giemsa staining, C-banding and Ag-NOR staining were applied, followed by measurements of chromosome arm lengths including analysis of the measured data.

Objective: Approximately 7% of individuals with dystrophinopathy remain undiagnosed at the genetic level using conventional genetic tests like multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) and next-generation sequencing (NGS). We used the optical genome mapping (OGM) technology to detect and analyze uncommon mutations or structural variations (SVs) within the DMD gene, thus contributing to more precise clinical diagnoses.
Methods: We herein included eight patients with dystrophinopathy (six males and two females) in whom pathogenic variants of the DMD gene could not be accurately identified using MLPA and NGS.
