Article Abstract
Objective: The L1 cell adhesion molecule (L1CAM) gene, encodes the L1 cell adhesion molecule, is involved in the central nervous system development. Its mutations result in L1 syndrome which is associated with brain malformation and nervous developmental delay.
Case Report: We presented three fetuses with hydrocephalus and agenesis of the corpus callosum detected by ultrasound, followed by medical exome sequencing (MES) test with L1CAM mutations: two known missense mutation c.551G > A (p. R184Q) and c.1354G > A (p. G452R), and a novel frameshift mutation c.1322delG which causes the early termination of translation (p. G441Afs∗72). By utilizing multiple computational analysis, all the variants were scored to be likely pathogenic.
Conclusion: Combined use of ultrasound and MES to identify the molecular etiology of fetal anomalies may contribute to expanding our knowledge of the clinical phenotype of L1 syndrome observed in the south Chinese population.

The L1 molecule is a cell adhesion molecule (L1CAM) that was originally implicated in neuronal development. In recent years, studies of several large cohorts of patients with endometrial cancer have revealed that L1CAM acts as a poor prognostic factor, in most cases independent of other parameters. It seems to be an important factor, especially in the non-specific molecular profile subgroup (p53 normal expression, MMR proficient, POLE not mutated) of endometrial cancer, and a factor predictive of the response to chemotherapy.

Diagnosis is often made prenatally via ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), but specific features such as adducted thumbs are subtle and easily missed. We report a case in which prenatal MRI at 34 weeks gestation revealed fetal hydrocephalus and an adducted thumb, suggestive of XLH.

Objective: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the prognostic impact of molecular alterations beyond those included in the Proactive Molecular Risk Classifier for Endometrial Cancer (ProMisE), in order to identify biomarkers that could improve prognostic stratification within the No Specific Molecular Profile (NSMP) subgroup of endometrial cancers.
Methods: This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted according to PRISMA guidelines. We searched PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science for studies published up to December 2024.

Introduction: Mesonephric-like carcinoma (MLC) is a newly described malignant tumor that represents 1 % of endometrial cancers. The etiology of this disease is currently unknown but immunohistochemical expression with GATA-3, PAX-8 and TTF-1 and lack of ER/PR positivity can aid in correct diagnosis.
Case Presentation: A 73-year-old female presented to our hospital with post-menopausal bleeding, an initial hysteroscopy identified a lesion suggestive of endometrial cancer.
is a high confidence autism spectrum disorder (ASD) gene encoding the spectrin-actin scaffold protein Ankyrin B (AnkB). The 220 kDal isoform of AnkB has multiple functions including developmental spine pruning through L1 family cell adhesion molecules (L1-CAMs) and class 3 Semaphorins on dendrites of pyramidal neurons to achieve an appropriate excitatory balance in the neocortex. Molecular modeling employing AlphaFold was used to predict the structure and interactions of AnkB with the cytoplasmic domain of Neuron-glial Related L1-CAM (NrCAM), and with β2-Spectrin.
