Targeted Next‐Generation Sequencing of the Leptin‐Melanocortin Pathway in Severe Obesity
ABSTRACT Objective Pathogenic variants in five established leptin‐melanocortin pathway genes (LEP, LEPR, MC4R, PCSK1, POMC) are associated with severe early‐onset obesity and are targets for emerging treatments. However, these variants are rare in these patients, suggesting the involvement of additional genes interacting with this pathway. Methods Next‐

IKAROS Associated Immunodeficiency and Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura
ABSTRACT Pathogenic variants in IKZF1 (IKAROS) are linked to immunodeficiency, malignancy, and immune dysregulation. We describe a family with a rare IKZF1 variant presenting with humoral immunodeficiency and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). A non‐consanguineous family was clinically monitored; clinical, immunological, and genetic data (exome

ABSTRACT Prenatal exome sequencing (ES) can establish rare genetic diagnoses in a fetus but may also lead to occult genetic diagnosis in a biological parent. We present a case of dual fetal and maternal diagnosis by prenatal ES, in a fetus with unexplained anemia and in a pregnant patient with sickle cell disease (SCD) and recurrent unexplained hypoxia.

CRPPA exon 6–9 deletion as a founder mutation in Chinese patients with dystroglycanopathy
Analysis of sixteen Chinese dystroglycanopathy patients reveals a founder mutation (CRPPA exon 6–9 deletion) in 25% of cases and expands the phenotypic spectrum from severe muscle‐eye‐brain disease to limb‐girdle muscular dystrophy. ABSTRACT Importance Dystroglycanopathies (DGPs) are a group of muscular dystrophies with abnormal glycosylation of ...
