Article Abstract

a relapsing fever group spirochete, is an emerging tick-borne pathogen. It has been identified in ixodid ticks across the Northern Hemisphere, including the West Coast of the United States. We describe the chromosome and large linear plasmid sequence of a isolate cultured from a California field-collected tick.

Background And Objective: Parental chromosomal structural variations (SVs) represent a primary genetic factor contributing to recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA). Individuals carrying SVs with complex chromosomal rearrangements (CCRs) typically exhibit a normal phenotype but are at an increased risk of miscarriage. Current standard clinical detection methods are insufficient for the identification and interpretation of all SV types, particularly complex and occult SVs, thereby presenting a significant challenge for clinical genetic counseling.

A Novel Case of Variant and Nonimmune Hydrops Fetalis: A Case Report.

Case Rep Genet

September 2025

Division of Maternal-Fetal Medicine, Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, University of California, Irvine, California, USA.

Nonimmune hydrops fetalis (NIHF) refers to the pathologic accumulation of fluid within the fetus due to causes other than red cell alloimmunization and now accounts for up to 90% of fetal hydrops cases. Fetal hydrops is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, and the exact prognosis is largely dependent on the underlying etiology. The most common etiologies include cardiovascular causes and chromosomal or genetic abnormalities.

Background: Centromeres are crucial for precise chromosome segregation and maintaining genome stability during cell division. However, their evolutionary dynamics, particularly in polyploid organisms with complex genomic architectures, remain largely enigmatic. Allopolyploid wheat, with its well-defined hierarchical ploidy series and recent polyploidization history, serves as an excellent model to explore centromere evolution.

Large interstitial telomeric regions are considered remnants and markers of chromosomal rearrangements or a result of several suggested molecular mechanisms of telomere repeats accumulation. More rare are cases when large interstitial repeats are found not close to, but at a distance from the centromere. However, synapsis, recombination, and effects on chromatin near these regions during meiotic prophase I have not been sufficiently studied.

Genome imbalance, resulting from varying the dosage of individual chromosomes (aneuploidy), has a more detrimental effect than changes in complete sets of chromosomes (haploidy/polyploidy). This imbalance is likely due to disruptions in stoichiometry and interactions among macromolecular assemblies. Previous research has shown that aneuploidy causes global modulation of protein-coding genes (PCGs), microRNAs, and transposable elements (TEs), affecting both the varied chromosome (cis-located) and unvaried genome regions (trans-located) across various taxa.
