Article Abstract

Since the publication of this article, it has been brought to our attention, that the identified mutation (NM_015277: c.2617 G > A; p.Glu873Lys) is identical with the mutation (NM_001144967: c.2677 G > A; p.Glu893Lys) reported by Broix et al (Nature Genetics 48, 1349-1358, 2016 https://doi.org/10.1038/ng.3676 ). Therefore the mutation is not novel but recurrent. Accordingly, the word "novel" should be deleted throughout the article including the title. Thus, the title should read "A missense mutation in the HECT domain of NEDD4L identified in a girl with periventricular nodular heterotopia, polymicrogyria, and cleft palate."

Introduction: Genetic analysis is essential for diagnosing, treating, and predicting complications in neonatal diabetes mellitus (NDM) but is unavailable in some regions. Sulfonylureas are effective for NDM caused by KCNJ11 or ABCC8 mutations, which are among the most common genetic causes, therefore they are often given before genetic testing. Unfortunately, in certain ethnicities, this mutation rarely occurs.

Background: This study aims to gain further insights into the characteristics of the rare subtype of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with BCR∷ABL by analyzing laboratory detection results of various gene mutations, such as NPM1.

Methods: Laboratory detection results of multiple gene missense mutations, including NPM1, were analyzed in a case of primary AML with BCR∷ABL.

Results: The patient exhibited morphological features of acute leukemia in the bone marrow.

Background: Overexpression of rs3761936 of DCLRE1B gene has been observed in both breast cancer and cervical cancer patients. To justify the association of this polymorphism with these cancers, we performed this case-control study.

Method: A total of 245 cancer patients and 108 healthy controls participated in the research.

Purpose: To investigate the variants in 18 disease-causing genes associated with nonsyndromic myopia in 83 Chinese individuals diagnosed with early-onset high myopia(eo-HM).

Methods: Variants in 18 candidate genes in 83 probands with eo-HM were distinguished by whole-exome sequencing (WES) and assessed by multistep bioinformatics analysis.

Results: Four likely pathogenic variants were detected in 4 of the 83 probands (4.
