Recent advances in genomic methodologies have significantly enhanced our understanding of immune-mediated rheumatic diseases. Specific structural variants (SVs), such as substantial DNA deletions or insertions, including chromosomal aberrations, have been implicated in diseases of immune dysregulation. Regrettably, SVs are frequently overlooked in next-generation sequencing (NGS) targeted-gene panels, whole exome sequencing (WES) and whole genome sequencing (WGS). In view of a case of chromosome 18p deletion syndrome, characterized by hypogammaglobulinemia and an autoinflammatory phenotype, we provide a comprehensive review on chromosome aberrations associated with multiple immune-mediated conditions, highlighting the clinical aspects of the various chromosome aberrations associated with immune-mediated diseases. Further investigations and development of functional tests should contribute to elucidate the mechanistic connection between chromosome aberrations and Primary Immune Regulatory Disorders (PIRD), bringing novel perspectives in the field of autoinflammatory and autoimmune diseases.

Trapa L. is a non-cereal aquatic crop with significant economic and ecological value. However, debates over its classification have caused uncertainties in species differentiation and the mechanisms of polyploid speciation.

Genome imbalance, resulting from varying the dosage of individual chromosomes (aneuploidy), has a more detrimental effect than changes in complete sets of chromosomes (haploidy/polyploidy). This imbalance is likely due to disruptions in stoichiometry and interactions among macromolecular assemblies. Previous research has shown that aneuploidy causes global modulation of protein-coding genes (PCGs), microRNAs, and transposable elements (TEs), affecting both the varied chromosome (cis-located) and unvaried genome regions (trans-located) across various taxa.

It is caused by the complete or partial deletion or structural change of one X chromosome in all or part of somatic cells. A rare case of karyotype Turner syndrome is reported.

Goeldi's monkey (Callimico goeldii, the lone species in this genus) shows an array of characteristics that are typical for both New World primate families, the Cebidae and the Callitrichidae, and as such their taxonomic classification has remained in question. Based on DNA, the genus Callimico is regarded as a member of the monophyletic group of clawed New World monkeys (Callitrichidae). Callitrichids, as a rule, give birth to twins, which are blood chimeras due to placental blood vessel anastomoses.
