<h3>Abstract</h3> Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common condition that typically develops in reproductive-age women. The cardinal clinical and biochemical characteristics of PCOS include reproductive dysfunction hyperandrogenic features. also strongly associated with obesity based on data from epidemiological genetic studies. Accordingly, often becomes manifest those women who carry predisposition to its development, gain weight. role weight the development mediated at least part,...
Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome (BHDS) is the most common monogenic cause of pneumothorax. Most affected families have pathogenic variants in FLCN gene. Using large genomic registries (UK Biobank (UKB), 100,000 Genomes Project and East London Genes & Health) including >550 000 individuals, we demonstrate that frequency clinically validated loss-of-function 1 2710 to 4190. While lifetime risk pneumothorax mutation carriers UKB a BHDS clinical cohort was substantial (28.4% 37.3%, respectively,...
Abstract Around 95% of patients with clinical features that meet the diagnostic criteria for von Hippel–Lindau disease (VHL) have a detectable inactivating germline variant in VHL. The VHL protein (pVHL) functions as part E3 ubiquitin ligase complex comprising pVHL, elongin C, B, cullin 2 and ring box 1 (VCB-CR complex), which plays key role oxygen sensing degradation hypoxia-inducible factors. To date, only variants been shown to cause disease. We undertook trio analysis by whole-exome...
Abstract Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) occurs in a number of cancer predisposition syndromes, but the genetic architecture susceptibility to RCC is not well defined. We investigated frequency pathogenic and likely (P/LP) germline variants genes (CSGs) within large series unselected participants. Whole-genome sequencing data on 1336 participants 5834 controls recruited UK 100 000 Genomes Project, nationwide multicentre study, was analyzed identify rare P/LP short (single nucleotide...

Abstract Background Cardiomyopathies are clinically important conditions, with a strong genetic component. National genomic initiatives such as 100,000 Genome Project (100KGP) provide opportunity to study these rare conditions at scale beyond conventional research studies. Methods We present the clinical and molecular characteristics of 100KGP cohort, comparing paediatric adult probands diverse cardiomyopathies. assessed diagnostic yield spectrum aetiologies across presentations. re-analysed...
