Abstract

This study characterizes RAG1/RAG2 deficiency, a severe inherited immune disorder, in the largest reported cohort from a North African country. Two founder mutations explain most cases, yet limited transplant access drives high mortality, highlighting the need for newborn screening.

Mosaic KRAS variants in childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus

This study identifies low-VAF KRAS variants in two children with systemic lupus erythematosus and confirms both variants in independent blood samples. The findings suggest that RAS pathway mosaicism may contribute to childhood lupus beyond classic RAS-associated autoimmune lymphoproliferative disease.

A Novel Homozygous Frameshift Variant in ZNF699 Associated With DEGCAGS Syndrome With Severe Transfusion‐Dependent Anemia in an Indian Child: A Case Report

In children with unexplained multisystem involvement—global developmental delay, dysmorphism, skeletal anomalies, and severe transfusion‐dependent anemia—especially from consanguineous families, whole‐exome sequencing should be pursued early to enable timely diagnosis, proactive iron chelation, and genetic counseling.
