Article Abstract
Chediak-Higashi Syndrome (CHS) is a lysosome-related organelle (LRO) disorder caused by biallelic mutations in the lysosomal trafficking regulator gene, LYST. The clinical features of CHS include oculocutaneous albinism, primary immunodeficiency, bleeding diathesis, risk for development of hemophagocyticlymphohistiocytosis,and progressive neurological problems. The pathophysiological mechanisms underlying this disease are unknown, so developing therapeutic options remains challenging. In this study,four induced pluripotent stem (iPSC) lines from unrelated CHS patients have been generated and successfully characterized for exploring the role of LYST in health and disease in diversecell types.

Amdoparvoviruses, encompassing the well-characterized Aleutian mink disease viruses (AMDV) as well as less investigated viruses infecting both captive and wild animals, are important carnivoran viruses that are significant pathogens in the mink farming industry. We investigated the molecular epidemiology of amdoparvoviruses among Danish wildlife. Spleen samples from 118 animals of seven carnivoran species were screened with a pan-amdoparvovirus PCR, and the identified viruses were molecularly characterized.

Chediak-Higashi syndrome (CHS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by partial oculocutaneous albinism, recurrent infections, and giant intracytoplasmic granules in leukocytes. Early diagnosis is critical to prevent the onset of severe complications, particularly the accelerated phase. We conducted a descriptive case series in the Hematology Laboratory of Ibn Rochd University Hospital Center, Casablanca.
