A De Novo heterozygous frameshift mutation identified in BCL11B causes neurodevelopmental disorder by whole exome sequencing

Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine, 2019
Background Next‐generation sequencing has been invaluable to delineate the genetic etiology of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) in recent years. BCL11B, encoding Cys2His2 zinc finger transcription factor, is essential for the development of immune and

Prenatal Evaluation of RNU4‐2 Variants in Fetuses With Central Nervous System Anomalies

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fetal central nervous system (CNS) anomalies are among the most common congenital malformations, yet the overall prenatal diagnostic yield of current genetic testing remains below 40%. Variants in RNU4‐2, a non‐coding gene encoding the U4 small nuclear RNA (snRNA), have recently been linked to a novel highly recurrent dominant ...

To What Extent Do Australian Government Metrics Align With Indigenous and Non‐Indigenous Conceptualisations of Wellbeing? A Scoping Review of Wellbeing Frameworks

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Indigenous wellbeing theories offer potential to better measure social and cultural determinants. This scoping review aimed to identify the types of metrics used by the Australian government to assess wellbeing and evaluate the alignment of current frameworks against Indigenous and non‐Indigenous conceptualisations of wellbeing.

Analyzing false‐negative results detected in low‐risk non‐invasive prenatal screening cases

Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine, 2020
Background The non‐invasive prenatal screening (NIPS) has been introduced into clinical practice with a high sensitivity and specificity. Although the false‐negative results are inevitable and important, limited false‐negative NIPS results have been ...

The Dynamics of Neurofilament Light Chain in Spinal Muscular Atrophy

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Newborn screening (NBS) for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) facilitates early diagnosis and treatment for affected individuals. However, fluid biomarkers that provide early insights into disease activity and outcomes in a neonatal cohort and those unable to access (due to reimbursement criteria) or deferring immediate treatment are lacking ...

Optical Genome Mapping for Chromosomal Aberrations Detection—False-Negative Results and Contributing Factors

Diagnostics
Optical genome mapping (OGM) has been known as an all-in-one technology for chromosomal aberration detection. However, there are also aberrations beyond the detection range of OGM.
