Molecular Genetics &Genomic Medicine, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2026.To understand the relationship between genotype and phenotype in sex chromosome aneuploidies, retrospective cytogenetic and clinical data was collected for Klinefelter Syndrome (n = 57) and Turner Syndrome (n = 92) cases from a single academic medical center from 2013 to 2022. The cohorts were divided into subcategories based on the genotype.

PROTEOMICS – Clinical Applications, Volume 20, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Proteomic analysis of biofluids is central for identifying disease biomarkers. Tears have become popular targets for biomarker discovery and biosensor development, largely because they can be collected noninvasively and are rich sources of biomarkers for ocular and systemic diseases. Although basal and reflex tears have been well characterized,
