This article reported a case of autosomal dominant intellectual developmental disorder type 22 caused by a heterozygous mutation in the ZBTB18 gene. At 24 +4 weeks of gestation, prenatal ultrasound indicated a short outer diameter of the fetal corpus callosum and bilateral ventricular dilatation. Whole-genome copy number variation analysis of the fetus showed no abnormalities. Whole exome sequencing (WES) and Sanger sequencing validation of the family revealed the fetus carried a c.1374_1383del(p.S459*) heterozygous mutation in the ZBTB18 gene (NM_205768.3), which was neither phenotypically present nor genotypically detected in the parents, suggesting a de novo mutation. Based on the clinical manifestations, the fetus was diagnosed with autosomal dominant intellectual developmental disorder type 22. After genetic counseling, the pregnant woman opted for termination of the pregnancy. This case highlights the correlation between prenatal ultrasonic detection of callosal dysgenesis and lateral ventricular enlargement and intellectual developmental disorders caused by gene mutations. Furthermore, it expands the mutation spectrum of the ZBTB18 gene, thereby facilitating prenatal diagnosis and genetic counseling.

Objective:To explore the pregnancy outcome and postpartum clinical phenotype of LCR22B/C~D central 22q11.2 deletion syndrome.Methods:For fetuses diagnosed with central 22q11.2 deletion by chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) at the Prenatal Diagnosis Center of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2019 to April 2022, their prenatal imaging, parental CMA verification, pregnancy outcomes and postpartum clinical phenotype were analyzed.Results:Eight cases of central 22q11.2 deletion syndrome were included, including six cases with LCR22B~D 22q11.2 deletions and two with LCR22C~D 22q11.2 deletions. Among the six cases with LCR22B~D type 22q11.2 deletions, three had shown cardiovascular malformations (right aortic arch, ventricular septal defect, mild tricuspid regurgitation), one had shown urinary defect (right kidney heterotopia). Two cases with LCR22C~D 22q11.2 deletions showed nonspecific ultrasonographic findings, including oligohydramnios with growth restriction and nuchal skin thickening. The CMA verification showed that six cases were inherited from their parents, and five couples had chosen to continue with the pregnancy. Postpartum follow-up showed that the physical and intellectual development of all children were normal. One couple had opted to terminate the pregnancy considering the ectopic fetal right kidney. Two remaining cases had decided to terminate their pregnancies without parental verification.Conclusion:The central 22q11.2 deletion syndrome of the LCR22B/C~D type is different from the classical types. Its genetic information mainly comes from parents. Prenatal imaging has mainly shown cardiovascular and urinary abnormalities. Postnatal growth and intellectual development have been normal. Therefore, the couples should be provided with suffice prenatal genetic counseling.

Objective:To analyze ultrasonographic manifestations and genetic etiology of nine fetuses with 7q11.23 duplication syndrome.Methods:Ultrasonographic finding, pregnancy outcome and follow-up of nine fetuses detected at the Prenatal Diagnosis Center of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2017 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:The fetuses were found to harbor a duplication in the 7q11.23 region by chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA). Among these, five had shown ventriculomegaly, including four syndromic and one non-syndromic. For the remainders, one had ventricular septal defect and mild tricuspid regurgitation, one had echogenic intracardiac focus, whilst another two were normal. Five couples had accepted parental verification, and the results confirmed that the 7q11.23 duplication carried by their fetuses were de novo in origin. Following genetic counseling, seven couples had opted to terminate their pregnancies. Two fetuses were delivered at full term, and follow-up had found no abnormalities. Conclusion:Prenatal ultrasonographic manifestations of fetuses with 7q11.23 duplication syndrome are variable. CMA can provide assistance for their diagnosis and genetic counseling.

Various c-mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition (c-MET) inhibitors are effective in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer; however, the inevitable drug resistance remains a challenge, limiting their clinical efficacy. Therefore, novel strategies targeting c-MET are urgently required. Herein, through rational structure optimization, we obtained novel exceptionally potent and orally active c-MET proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) namely D10 and D15 based on thalidomide and tepotinib. D10 and D15 inhibited cell growth with low nanomolar IC50 values and achieved picomolar DC50 values and >99% of maximum degradation (Dmax) in EBC-1 and Hs746T cells. Mechanistically, D10 and D15 dramatically induced cell apoptosis, G1 cell cycle arrest and inhibited cell migration and invasion. Notably, intraperitoneal administration of D10 and D15 significantly inhibited tumor growth in the EBC-1 xenograft model and oral administration of D15 induced approximately complete tumor suppression in the Hs746T xenograft model with well-tolerated dose-schedules. Furthermore, D10 and D15 exerted significant anti-tumor effect in cells with c-METY1230H and c-METD1228N mutations, which are resistant to tepotinib in clinic. These findings demonstrated that D10 and D15 could serve as candidates for the treatment of tumors with MET alterations.

Objective:To explore the feasibility of applying quantitative flow ratio(QFR) to assess the degree of coronary artery functional stenosis before surgery, and to guide coronary artery bypass grafting(CABG) revascularization strategy.Methods:The study prospectively included a total of 154 patients who were electively treated with CABG in the 11th ward of the Department of Cardiac Surgery of Beijing Anzhen Hospital from January 2019 to September 2020, and their coronary angiography visually showed stenosis of the coronary artery to perform QFR analysis to know the diseased blood vessels. For functional stenosis, the surgeon was blinded to the results of QFR analysis before surgery. Collect its baseline data, perioperative data and recent clinical outcomes for summary analysis.Results:One year later, the coronary artery CTA showed that the occlusion rate of functionally significant disease(QFR<0.8) was 5.5%, and that of non-functionally significant disease(QFR≥0.8) was 15.6%. There was no difference in angina class or repeat interventions between patients with or without occluded bypass grafts.Conclusion:According to QFR analysis, coronary arteries with functional non-significant disease have a higher risk of grafts failure than those with functionally significant disease. For coronary arteries with negative QFR lesions, the risk of occlusion of arterial grafts is higher than that of venous. However, this finding is not significantly related to clinical prognosis, because patients with patency or occlusion of the grafts in non-significant lesions have not found excessive angina pectoris or repeated coronary interventions. QFR-guided selection of coronary surgery strategies is safe and feasible.
