We developed and implemented a 500‐gene panel for phenotype‐driven genetic testing of Mendelian disorders in South Africa's public healthcare system, achieving a 46% diagnostic yield. This platform supports scalable, cost‐effective rare disease diagnosis and lays the foundation for broader genetic services in resource‐limited settings.

De novo SCN1A mutations in Dravet syndrome and related epileptic encephalopathies are largely of paternal origin [PDF]
Background: Dravet syndrome is a severe infantile epileptic encephalopathy caused in approximately 80% of cases by mutations in the voltage gated sodium channel subunit gene SCN1A. The majority of these mutations are de novo.

Achondroplasia with SRY-positive 46, XX disorder of sex development: an extremely rare association
A 40-year-old man with achondroplasia presented with symptoms of hypogonadism, low libido and gynaecomastia. He was found to have hypergonadotropic hypogonadism, and karyotype and fluorescent in situ hybridisation analysis showed SRY-positive 46, XX ...
