Purpose: Advancements in sequencing technologies have significantly improved clinical genetic testing, yet the diagnostic yield remains around 30-40%. Emerging technologies are now being deployed to address the remaining diagnostic gap.

Methods: We tested whether short-read genome sequencing could increase the diagnostic yield in individuals enrolled into the UCI-GREGoR research study, who had suspected Mendelian conditions and prior inconclusive testing.

Anomalous Origin of the Right Coronary Artery from the Left Main Coronary Artery in A Patient with Non-Specific Chest Pain.

Eur J Case Rep Intern Med

August 2025

Cardiac Sciences Division, Department of Medicine, King Abdulaziz Hospital, Ministry of National Guard Health Affairs (MNGHA), Al Ahsa, Saudi Arabia.

Unlabelled: Anomalous origin of the coronary arteries is a rare congenital condition that can present as non-specific chest pain or shortness of breath or remain asymptomatic. Early identification is critical as certain variants are linked with a high risk of sudden cardiac death. Here, we report the case of a 53-year-old female with hypertension, hypothyroidism, obesity (class II) and a history of intermittent chest pain radiating to the left arm for two years.

Background: Cardiac laminopathies, associated with mutations in the LMNA gene, are a rare inherited disorder characterized by a broad range of clinical manifestations. There are currently no data on the association between supraventricular re-entrant tachycardias and LMNA-related cardiomyopathy.

Case Summary: A 26-year-old male presented with either wide-QRS tachycardia with a left bundle branch block (LBBB) pattern or narrow QRS tachycardia, as well as a history of palpitations since age 15.

Introduction: Metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) exhibits significant heterogeneity in molecular profiles, influencing treatment response and patient outcomes. Mutations in v-raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B1 () and rat sarcoma () family genes are commonly observed in mCRC. Though originally thought to be mutually exclusive, recent data have shown that patients may present with concomitant and mutations, posing unique challenges and implications for clinical management.

Congenital dyserythropoietic anemia type III (CDA III) is an extremely rare inherited disorder characterized by ineffective erythropoiesis, multinucleated erythroblasts in the bone marrow, and variable clinical gravity. We report the case of a 6-year-old boy, presenting with abdominal distension, failure to thrive, dark urine, intermittent itching, and recurrent infections. Physical examination revealed pallor, hepatomegaly, and splenomegaly.
