Article Abstract
SignificanceMetagenomic pathogen sequencing offers an unbiased approach to characterizing febrile illness. In resource-scarce settings with high biodiversity, it is critical to identify disease-causing pathogens in order to understand burden and to prioritize efforts for control. Here, metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) characterization of the pathogen landscape in Cambodia revealed diverse vector-borne and zoonotic pathogens irrespective of age and gender as risk factors. Identification of key pathogens led to changes in national program surveillance. This study is a "real world" example of the use of mNGS surveillance of febrile individuals, executed in-country, to identify outbreaks of vector-borne, zoonotic, and other emerging pathogens in a resource-scarce setting.

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.

Bardet-Biedl Syndrome (BBS) is a rare autosomal recessive ciliopathy characterized by genetic heterogeneity. Despite significant progress in understanding the BBSome-coding genes associated with ciliopathies, the pathogenesis linked to mutations in chaperonin-coding genes (BBS6, BBS10, and BBS12) remains poorly defined. This study aims to confirm the genetic diagnosis of BBS and elucidate the pathological mechanisms in causative genes of BBS10 and BBS12.

Purpose: Keratoconus (KC) is a bilateral, asymmetric disease causing corneal thinning, irregular astigmatism, and vision decline, with unclear etiology. This study aims to investigate pathogenic variants of candidate genes in Chinese KC families via whole exome sequencing (WES).
Methods: The Pentacam 3D anterior segment analysis system was applied for keratectasia detection, and the Corvis ST was used for corneal biomechanics measurement.

Chromodomain Helicase DNA-binding (CHD) proteins compose a family of chromatin remodelers that play crucial roles in DNA repair and gene expression regulation, neural stem cell differentiation and chromatin integrity. Genetic variants in CHD chromatin remodelers are associated with neurodevelopmental disorders with features like autism spectrum disorder and intellectual disability. Consequently, the determination of variant pathogenicity in clinical genetic tests for individuals bearing CHD variants is crucial.
