Silver-Russell Syndrome (SRS) is a genetic disorder characterized by intrauterine and postnatal growth restriction. Most cases are caused by an imprinting error either with hypomethylation of the Imprinted Control Region 1 at 11p15.5, or maternal uniparental disomy of chromosome 7.

To explore the genetic cause of a four-generation severe intellectual disability in a Chinese family using nanopore sequencing and to provide genetic counseling and reproductive guidance for family members. Multiple genetic analyses of the proband and family members were performed, including chromosome karyotype analysis, whole exome sequencing, nanopore sequencing, PCR amplification, and Sanger sequencing. The results of G-binding karyotyping, CGG repeats for FMR1, GGC repeats for NOTCH2NCL, and trio-whole-exome sequencing were negative for the proband and his parents.

Optical genome mapping (OGM) offers high consistency in simultaneously detecting structural and copy number variants. This study aimed to retrospectively evaluate the efficacy and potential applications of OGM in preconception genetic counseling. Herein, 74 samples from 37 families were included, and their results of OGM were compared to conventional methods, namely karyotyping (KT) and chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA), which identified 27 variants across 16 positive families.

The Trypanosoma brucei genome is structurally complex. Eleven megabase-sized chromosomes each comprise a transcribed core flanked by silent subtelomeres, housing thousands of Variant Surface Glycoprotein (VSG) genes. Additionally, hundreds of sub-megabase chromosomes contain 177 bp repeats of unknown function, and VSG transcription sites localise to many telomeres.

The phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN) gene is a critical tumor suppressor that plays an essential role in the development and functionality of the central nervous system. Located on chromosome 10 in humans and chromosome 19 in mice, PTEN encodes a protein that regulates cellular processes such as division, proliferation, growth, and survival by antagonizing the PI3K‑Akt‑mTOR signaling pathway. In neurons, PTEN dephosphorylates phosphatidylinositol‑3,4,5‑trisphosphate (PIP3) to PIP2, thereby modulating key signaling cascades involved in neurogenesis, neuronal migration, and synaptic plasticity.
