Abstract
BACKGROUND Ellis-van Creveld syndrome (EvC) is a recessive disorder characterised by acromesomelic limb shortening, postaxial polydactyly, nail-teeth dysplasia and congenital cardiac defects, primarily caused by pathogenic variants in EVC or EVC2. Weyers acrofacial dysostosis (WAD) is an ultra-rare dominant condition allelic to EvC. The present work aimed to enhance current knowledge on the clinical manifestations of EvC and WAD and broaden their mutational spectrum. METHODS We conducted molecular studies in 46 individuals from 43 unrelated families with a preliminary clinical diagnosis of EvC and 3 affected individuals from a family with WAD and retrospectively analysed clinical data. The deleterious effect of selected variants of uncertain significance was evaluated by cellular assays. MAIN RESULTS We identified pathogenic variants in EVC/EVC2 in affected individuals from 41 of the 43 families with EvC. Patients from each of the two remaining families were found with a homozygous splicing variant in WDR35 and a de novo heterozygous frameshift variant in GLI3, respectively. The phenotype of these patients showed a remarkable overlap with EvC. A novel EVC2 C-terminal truncating variant was identified in the family with WAD. Deep phenotyping of the cohort recapitulated 'classical EvC findings' in the literature and highlighted findings previously undescribed or rarely described as part of EvC. CONCLUSIONS This study presents the largest cohort of living patients with EvC to date, contributing to better understanding of the full clinical spectrum of EvC. We also provide comprehensive information on the EVC/EVC2 mutational landscape and add GLI3 to the list of genes associated with EvC-like phenotypes.

Abstract
Emerging and re-emerging vector-borne infections are a global public health threat. In endemic regions, fever is the main reason for medical attention, and the etiological agent of such fever is not usually identified. In this study, non-specific febrile pathogens were molecularly characterized in serum samples from 253 patients suspected of arbovirus infection. The samples were collected in the southern border region of Mexico from April to June 2015, and February to March 2016. ZIKV, CHIKV, DENV, leptospirosis, and rickettsiosis were detected by qPCR and nested PCR to identify flavivirus and alphavirus genera. The results indicated that 71.93% of the samples were positive for CHIKV, 0.79% for ZIKV, and 0.39% for DENV, with the number positive for CHIKV increasing to 76.67% and those positive for ZIKV increasing to 15.41% under the nested PCR technique. Leptospira Kmetyi was identified for the first time in Mexico, with a prevalence of 3.16%. This is the first report of ZIKV in Mexico, as well the first detection of the virus in early 2015. In conclusion, the etiological agent of fever was determined in 94% of the analyzed samples.

Abstract
Menkes disease (MD) is a rare and often lethal X-linked recessive syndrome, characterized by generalized alterations in copper transport and metabolism, linked to mutations in the ATPase copper transporting α (ATP7A) gene. Our objective was to identify genomic alterations and circulating proteomic profiles related to MD assessing their potential roles in the clinical features of the disease. We describe the case of a male patient of 8 months of age with silvery hair, tan skin color, hypotonia, alterations in neurodevelopment, presence of seizures, and low values of plasma ceruloplasmin. Trio-whole-exome sequencing (Trio-WES) analysis, plasma proteome screening, and blood cell migration assays were carried out. Trio-WES revealed a hemizygous change c.4190C > T (p.S1397F) in exon 22 of the ATP7A gene. Compared with his parents and with child controls, 11 plasma proteins were upregulated and 59 downregulated in the patient. According to their biological processes, 42 (71.2%) of downregulated proteins had a participation in cellular transport. The immune system process was represented by 35 (59.3%) downregulated proteins (p = 9.44 × 10−11). Additional studies are necessary to validate these findings as hallmarks of MD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Molecular analysis in haemophilia is currently used in the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of this disease. Hispanic populations in Latin America have been of interest to researchers due to the reportedly high prevalence of inhibitors in these patients. AIM To perform next-generation sequencing (NGS) in a cohort of Mexican patients with HA and HB and correlate with clinical phenotypes. METHODS Patients with Haemophilia A (HA) or haemophilia B (HB), were evaluated using NGS with an Ion AmpliSeq Custom Panel. Odds ratios (ORs) for associations between F8 variants and inhibitors were obtained. RESULTS A total of 85 patients (60 with HA and 25 with HB) were included. Pathogenic variants in F8 were found in 93.3% of HA patients and in F9 in 96% of HB patients. Twelve novel potentially pathogenic variants were found. Inhibitors were observed in 20% of patients with severe HA. Four patients clinically diagnosed with HA were negative for F8 variants. CONCLUSION Overall detection rate of pathogenic variants in F8 and F9 genes was 94.6%. We identified 12 non previously reported variants and pathogenic variants in other coagulation related genes. Molecular diagnosis of HA and HB permits better options for management, assessment and genetic counseling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peripheral gene expression of several molecular pathways has been studied in major depressive disorder (MDD) with promising results. We sought to investigate some of these genes in a treatment-free Latino sample of Mexican descent. MATERIAL AND METHODS The sample consisted of 50 MDD treatment-free cases and 50 sex and age-matched controls. Gene expression of candidate genes of neuroplasticity (BDNF, p11, and VGF), inflammation (IL1A, IL1B, IL4, IL6, IL7, IL8, IL10, MIF, and TNFA), the canonical Wnt signaling pathway (TCF7L2, APC, and GSK3B), and mTOR, was compared in cases and controls. RNA was obtained from blood samples. We used bivariate analyses to compare subjects versus control mean mRNA quantification of target genes and lineal regression modelling to test for effects of age and body mass index on gene expression. RESULTS Most subjects were female (66%) with a mean age of 26.7 (SD 7.9) years. Only GSK3B was differentially expressed between cases and controls at a statistically significant level (p = 0.048). TCF7L-2 showed the highest number of correlations with MDD-related traits, yet these were modest in size. DISCUSSION GSK3B encodes a moderator of the canonical Wnt signaling pathway. It has a role in neuroplasticity, neuroprotection, depression, and other psychiatric phenotypes. We found that adding population diversity has the potential to elicit distinct peripheral gene expression markers in MDD and MDD-related traits. However, our results should only be considered as hypothesis-generating research that merits further replication in larger cohorts of similar ancestry.

Abstract
B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL) is a hematological malignancy of immature B-cell precursors, affecting children more often than adults. The etiology of BCP-ALL is still unknown, but environmental factors, sex, race or ethnicity, and genomic alterations influence the development of the disease. Tools based on protein detection, such as flow cytometry, mass spectrometry, mass cytometry and reverse phase protein array, represent an opportunity to investigate BCP-ALL pathogenesis and to identify new biomarkers of disease. This review aims to document the recent advancements with respect to applications of proteomic technologies to study mechanisms of leukemogenesis, how this information could be used in the discovery of biological targets, and finally we describe the challenges of application of proteomic tools for the approach of BCP-ALL.

Abstract
AIMS In this study, we examined the doses of the stature homeobox (SHOX), vesicle-associated membrane protein 7 (VAMP7), and SRY genes to establish a protocol for using peripheral blood samples deposited on filter paper for the screening of sex chromosome aneuploidy in neonates. We also measured correlations with karyotypes to assess this method as a neonatal screening strategy. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was an observational, descriptive, comparative blind study. Thirty-two healthy young adults (17 women, 15 men; age, ≥18 years), four patients with known sex chromosome aneuploidy (positive control group), and 1000 healthy newborns were included. Gene dosages were determined using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Values with standard deviations (SDs) of three or more were considered abnormal. RESULTS Men and women differed in the gene dosage of the SRY gene. Cases with Turner syndrome showed values below 3 SDs for SHOX and VAMP7 genes, and cases with Klinefelter syndrome showed values above 3 SDs for SHOX and VAMP7 genes. Two suspected cases of sex chromosome aneuploidy were diagnosed using our neonatal screening strategy; these cases were confirmed as Turner syndrome and 47,XYY syndrome by karyotyping. CONCLUSIONS Our data establish a basis for the determination of chromosomal sex and neonatal screening of sex chromosome aneuploidy using RT-PCR.
