Mosaic viral diseases affect sugarcane productivity worldwide. Mining disease resistance-associated molecular markers or genes is a key component of disease resistance breeding programs. In the present study, 285 F progeny were produced from a cross between Yuetang 93-159, a moderately resistant variety, and ROC22, a highly susceptible variety. The mosaic disease symptoms of these progenies, with ROC22 as the control, were surveyed by natural infection under 11 different environmental conditions in the field and by artificial infections with a mixed (SCMV) and (SrMV) inoculum. Analysis of consolidated survey data enabled the identification of 29 immune, 55 highly resistant, 70 moderately resistant, 62 susceptible, and 40 highly susceptible progenies. The disease response data and a high-quality SNP genetic map were used in quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping. The results showed that the correlation coefficients (0.26~0.91) between mosaic disease resistance and test environments were significant (< 0.001), and that mosaic disease resistance was a highly heritable quantitative trait ( = 0.85). Seven mosaic resistance QTLs were located to the SNP genetic map, each QTL accounted for 3.57% ~ 17.10% of the phenotypic variation explained (PVE). Furthermore, 110 pathogen response genes and 69 transcription factors were identified in the QTLs interval. The expression levels of nine genes (, , , , , , , and ) were significantly different between resistant and susceptible progenies, indicating their key roles in sugarcane resistance to SCMV and SrMV infection. The seven QTLs and nine genes can provide a certain scientific reference to help sugarcane breeders develop varieties resistant to mosaic diseases.

Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common congenital anomaly. While surgical and interventional advancements have improved survival, the management of associated complications and comorbidities remains complex and would benefit from a personalised approach that more accurately predicts individualised risks and prognoses. Recently, next-generation sequencing has uncovered diverse genetic factors, including epigenetic modifications, somatic mosaicism and regulatory non-coding variants.

Hemoporfin-mediated photodynamic therapy (HMME-PDT) has demonstrated significant advantages in the treatment of Port-wine stains (PWSs). However, the therapeutic efficacy of HMME-PDT remains suboptimal in a subset of patients. Somatic mosaic mutations in (c.

McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by a triad of café-au-lait spots, fibrous dysplasia, and hyperfunctioning endocrinopathies, resulting from a mosaic mutation in the guanine nucleotide-binding protein (GNAS) gene. This case report presents the long-term follow-up of an eight-year-old girl diagnosed with MAS, who first presented at 22 months of age with skin pigmentation, hyperthyroidism, and precocious puberty, later developing additional features such as fibrous dysplasia and growth hormone excess. This complex presentation of MAS-featuring more than two hyperfunctioning endocrinopathies along with fibrous dysplasia-has rarely been described in the literature.

Wheat yellow mosaic virus (WYMV) is the main cause of wheat yellow mosaic disease. Although its regulation of protein translation and interactions with host proteins are well-studied, independent regulation of the virus genome is poorly understood. This study performed in vitro experiments investigating replication regulation by the 5' UTR and 3' UTR of WYMV RNA2.

Fundus tessellation (FT)-also referred to as tigroid or mosaic fundus-is characterized by increased visibility of underlying choroidal vessels. While often a physiological finding, FT may also signal early pathology in conditions such as high myopia, choroidal atrophy, or pigmentary disorders. We synthesize current understanding of the anatomical, optical, and imaging factors influencing FT appearance, including the roles of axial elongation, melanin distribution, and media clarity.
