Article Abstract
Background: Contiguous gene deletion in the short arm of chromosome 4 is linked to various neurodevelopmental disorders.
Methods: In this study, we conducted peripheral blood chromosome G-banding karyotyping and whole-exome sequencing (WES) on a proband presenting with anal atresia, global developmental delay, lymphocytosis, and other multisystem anomalies. Additionally, chromosome G-banding karyotyping was also carried out on the proband's parents and brother.
Results: The 7-month-old proband was found to have a 26.738 Mb 4p15.33-p14 deletion as identified by chromosome G-banding karyotyping and WES.
Conclusion: We identified a patient with proximal 4p deletion syndrome by karyotype and WES analysis, which might explain some of his phenotypes. Our research enhances clinicians' knowledge of this rare condition, and offers valuable genetic counseling to the affected family. Further research is necessary to identify the causative gene or critical region associated with proximal 4p deletion syndrome.

Double-strand breaks represent the most dangerous form of DNA damage, and in resting cells, these breaks are sealed via the non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) factor Ligase IV (LIG4). Excessive NHEJ may be genotoxic, necessitating multiple mechanisms to control NHEJ activity. However, a clear mechanism of transcriptional control for them has not yet been identified.

Pathogenic variants in the APC gene are classically associated with autosomal dominant familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), characterized by tens-to-thousands of colonic adenomatous polyps and a high-penetrance predisposition to colorectal cancer. More recently, specific PVs in the YY1 binding motif of APC promoter 1B have been associated with autosomal dominant gastric adenocarcinoma and proximal polyposis of the stomach (GAPPS), characterized by tens-to-thousands of fundic gland polyps and a predisposition to gastric cancer but which are only rarely associated with features consistent with FAP. Although management guidelines currently treat FAP and GAPPS as mutually exclusive conditions, the extent of phenotypic overlap is not well-characterized.

The startle response is a reflexive contraction of skeletal musculature in response to a strong acoustic stimulus that is evolutionarily preserved across species. There is a broad and comprehensive literature connecting components of the startle response such as latency, magnitude and pre-pulse inhibition, to psychosis status and risk. In this review, we examine the startle response in human subjects with 22q11.
