Article Abstract
Variant classification and reclassification are fundamental to advancing precision medicine. This study focuses on the reclassifications of variants of uncertain significance (VUS) in BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. By analyzing 162 unique cited publications supporting VUS reclassifications, we examined the accuracy, completeness, and currency of citations to these publications. Our findings reveal missing or inadequate evidence for reclassifications, as well as temporally misaligned citations and ClinVar submissions. Furthermore, we observed patterns in the cited studies, including the use of classification recommendations, genetic mechanisms, computational tools, and diverse population studies. This study underscores the need for stronger evidence supporting reclassifications and greater inclusion of diverse populations to optimize genomic variant reclassification and clinical decision-making.

Variant classification in genetic testing often culminates in "uncertain" calls, known as variants of uncertain significance (VUS), which remain a major clinical challenge. Among the established criteria for variant classification, population allele frequency (AF) is fundamental, yet under-representation of non-European groups hinders accurate interpretation. In this study, we evaluated the impact of population-specific AF on the reclassification of VUS and conflicting variants in hereditary cancer genes.

In the ICD-10 the developmental disorders are categorized under three different chapters: F7 for mental retardation, F8 for developmental disorders and F9 for disorders with onset in childhood and adolescence. In ICD-11 neurodevelopmental disorders represent the first new main classification group. The disorders grouped in these categories are all characterized by essentially genetically related atypical patterns of perception, emotional processing, cognition (general and social), language and motor skills.

Introduction: Gorlin syndrome (GS) is a rare autosomal dominant condition that predisposes to cutaneous basal cell carcinomas, jaw keratocysts, and skeletal anomalies. Most patients with GS have a heterozygous pathogenic variant in the gene, although a minor subset have a pathogenic variant in the gene.
Case Presentation: We report a 34-year-old woman meeting clinical diagnostic criteria for GS and with an affected father who also meets diagnostic criteria.
