Intrauterine ultrasound phenotyping, molecular characteristics, and postnatal follow-up of fetuses with the 15q11.2 BP1-BP2 microdeletion syndrome: a single-center, retrospective clinical study
The 15q11.2 BP1-BP2 microdeletion is associated with neurodevelopmental diseases. However, most studies on this microdeletion have focused on adults and children. Thus, in this study, we summarized the molecul... (Source: BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth)

Evaluation of genetic risk of apparently balanced chromosomal rearrangement carriers by breakpoint characterization
ConclusionOur findings provide a reference for the evaluation of the pathogenicity of mutations in related genes that cause protein truncation in clinical practice. According to the characteristics of breakpoints, non-homologous end joining and microhomology-mediated break-induced replication may be the main mechanism for ABCRs formation.

194 Fetal fraction amplification dramatically increases PPV for 22q11.2 deletion syndrome in prenatal cell-free DNA screening
22q11.2 deletion syndrome occurs in approximately 1 in 2,000-4,000 births. Prenatal cell-free DNA screening (pcfDNA) can detect fetuses affected by deletions as small as 2.5 Mb. Fetal fraction amplification (FFA), which has been shown to yield an average fetal fraction (FF) in excess of 20%, may further enhance pcfDNA detection of these deletions. Positive predictive values (PPV) of pcfDNA screening for 22q11.2 microdeletion have been reported between 20%-50%. Here, we sought to describe the impact of FFA on the PPV of 22q11.2 microdeletion screening using a whole-genome sequencing (WGS)-based pcfDNA platform. (Source: Ame...

AZF microdeletion affects semen parameters, sex hormone levels, and chromosome karyotypes in infertile men in Xinjiang
In conclusion, AZF microdeletions can lead to a decline in semen quality in men, and different types of deletions have different effects on semen parameters, sex hormone levels, and karyotype analysis. Further treatments should be selected based on the AZF microdeletion area.PMID:38158680 | DOI:10.14715/cmb/2023.69.13.17 (Source: Cellular and Molecular Biology)

Neonatal manifestation of 22q11.2 deletion syndrome - four case reports and a mini-literature review
This report describes four cases of newborns with 22q11.2 syndrome, presenting with a variety of clinical findings typical for this genetic disorder. The patients present symptoms ranging from mild to life-threatening conditions. The severity of the congenital heart defect determines the survival rate in infancy. Each needs of each patient must be tailored to his or her specific medical problems. A holistic approach, addressing medical and behavioural needs, can be very helpful.PMID:38153084 | DOI:10.26444/aaem/165981 (Source: Annals of Agricultural and Environmental Medicine : AAEM)
