Article Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical and genetic features of a Chinese pedigree with Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) and explore its genotype-phenotype correlation.
Methods: A patient with PFIC diagnosed at Xinxiang Central Hospital in 2023 was selected as the study subject. The patient was subjected to abdominal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and painless gastroscopy. Peripheral blood samples were collected from the patient and his parents for the extraction of genomic DNA and trio-whole exome sequencing (trio-WES). Candidate variants were verified by Sanger sequencing. This study has been approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of Xinxiang Hospital (Ethics No. 2023-241).
Results: MRI scan showed that the patient had significantly enlarged liver and spleen. WES revealed that he has harbored compound heterozygous variants of the ATP8B1 gene, including a c.1710_1711insCCTC (p.A571Pfs*12) frameshifting variant in exon 16 and a c.2989G>A (p.V997M) missense variant in exon 24, which were respectively inherited from his father and mother, and rated as pathogenic (PVS1+PM2_Supporting+PM3+PP1) and likely pathogenic (PM2_Supporting+PM3+PP1) based on the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG).
Conclusion: WES can clarify the genetic etiology of patients with speed and accuracy, and facilitate clinical decision-making. The detection of pathogenic variants has provided a basis for clinical diagnosis and enriched the mutational spectrum of the ATP8B1 gene.

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.

Background: Hereditary ataxias (HAs) are neurodegenerative disorders characterized by progressive cerebellar degeneration, with autosomal dominant spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) representing the most prevalent subtype. SCA3, the most common form worldwide, is caused by CAG repeat expansions in ATXN3, resulting in pathogenic ataxin-3 aggregation. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms driving disease progression remain incompletely understood.

The aim of this study is to analyze the clinical characteristics and genetic variants of a late-onset auditory neuropathy pedigree caused by maternally inherited- mitochondrial mutation. A male proband who presented with bilateral sensorineural hearing loss at Henan Children's Hospital in September 2023 was chosen, along with his family members (4 generations, 20 individuals) as the study subjects. Data from this pedigree were collected, organized, and analyzed for clinical genetic characteristics.

Background: Dystrophinopathy is severe X-linked recessive muscle disease caused by mutations in DMD gene. There is an increasing number of deep intronic variants in DMD gene, and understanding the pathogenic mechanisms of intronic variants can help the diagnosis and treatment of patients with DMD.
Objective: To identify two novel splice site variants in two families affected with Dystrophinopathy.
