Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a clonal malignant disease of B lymphocytes (T lymphocytes are rare) and usually occurs in elderly people. CLL has a highly variable clinical course, with a median survival of 35 to 63 months. In the era of immunochemotherapy, the survival of CLL patients has improved significantly, but most patients still have primary drug resistance and relapse after the treatment. The emergence of Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor has completely changed the treatment mode of CLL, making the treatment of CLL into the era of targeted therapy. Ibrutinib combined with CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T-cell has good efficacy and can improve the prognosis of patients.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the genetic characteristics of a child with Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and neurodevelopmental syndrome (FSGSNEDS).
METHODS:
A child with FSGSNEDS who had visited Shengli Oilfield Central Hospital on September 15, 2019 was selected as the study subject. Clinical data of the child was collected, and trio-whole exome sequencing (trio-WES), Sanger sequencing, chromosomal karyotyping analysis, and copy number variation sequencing (CNV-seq) were used to analyze the child and his parents.
RESULTS:
The child, a 3-year-old boy, had manifested developmental delay, nephrotic syndrome, and epilepsy. Trio-WES and Sanger sequencing showed that he has carried a heterozygous c.1375C>T (p.Q459*) variant of the TRIM8 gene, for which both his parents were of the wild type. Based on guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG), the variant was predicted to be pathogenic. No abnormality was found in the chromosomal karyotyping and CNV-seq results of the child and his parents.
CONCLUSION
The child was diagnosed with FSGSNEDS, for which the c.1375C>T variant of the TRIM8 gene may be accountable.

Single-cell or low-input multi-omics techniques have revolutionized the study of pre-implantation embryo development.However,the single-cell or low-input proteomic research in this field is rela-tively underdeveloped because of the higher threshold of the starting material for mammalian embryo samples and the lack of hypersensitive proteome technology.In this study,a comprehensive solution of ultrasensitive proteome technology(CS-UPT)was developed for single-cell or low-input mouse oocyte/embryo samples.The deep coverage and high-throughput routes significantly reduced the starting material and were selected by investigators based on their demands.Using the deep coverage route,we provided the first large-scale snapshot of the very early stage of mouse maternal-to-zygotic transition,including almost 5,500 protein groups from 20 mouse oocytes or zygotes for each sample.Moreover,significant protein regulatory networks centered on transcription factors and kinases between the MII oocyte and 1-cell embryo provided rich insights into minor zygotic genome activation.
