Identifying novel heterozygous PI4KA variants in fetal abnormalities

BackgroundThe clinical manifestations of PI4KA-related disorders are characterized by considerable variability, predominantly featuring neurological impairments, gastrointestinal symptoms, and a combined immunodeficiency. The aim of this study was to delineate the novel spectrum of PI4KA variants detected prenatally and to assess their influence on fetal development.MethodsA thorough fetal ultrasound screening was conducted, supplemented by both antenatal and post-abortion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies. Novel PI4KA variants were detected through clinical Whole exon sequencing (WES) and validated by Sanger sequencing. The functional consequences of these variants were evaluated using bioinformatics tools. The effects of the identified variants on splicing were analyzed through minigene splicing assays. Subsequently, both wild-type and mutant PI4KA protein fragments were purified, and their enzymatic activities were quantitatively assessed.ResultsUltrasound imaging, MRI scans revealed a dilated small intestine with an obstruction. Compound heterozygous variants (NM_058004.3: c.2802_2863-40del and c.2819 C > T, p.Ala940Val) were identified in the PI4KA of the affected fetus through clinical trio-WES. Both variants were predicted deleterious. The PI4KA variant c.2802_2863-40del resulted in the production of three distinct mRNA isoforms. The PI4KA variant c.2819 C > T (p.Ala940Val) significantly reduced the enzyme activity.ConclusionsThis study extended the mutational spectrum of PI4KA and may provide guidance for genetic counseling. Functional studies confirmed that the identified variant induces alterations in RNA splicing and impairs enzyme activity.

Case Management of Counseling Guidance for Inmates Experience Stress During Early Coaching

The phenomenon of stress in prisoners is currently an urgency for various researchers. This stress occurs because it is experienced due to changes in the atmosphere of the general public, but entering a criminal facility makes them feel uncomfortable, starting from mental pressure, anxiety, anti-social behavior, and even suicide due to stress. Therefore, there is a need for case management so that inmates can face situations of stress and fear when undergoing initial formation in state detention centers. This study used a qualitative research method with a case study research design, employing observation, study documentation, and interviews for data collection. There were 6 informants, 1 of whom was a prisoner, along with 1 guard officer, 1 registration officer, and 3 inmates. This research emphasizes interactive data analysis and qualitative confirmation of source triangulation results. The object of research lies in how prisoners can undergo an excellent initial coaching period to manage stressful situations and fears. The results of this research indicate that correctional guardians have a role in providing counseling guidance on the stress of inmates during initial training at the Painan Detention Center, where the stress levels of inmates are very high. The effective counseling guidance methods or techniques used include a religious approach to reduce stress on inmates during the initial training period. This action seeks to reduce stress levels and provide assistance to prisoners. This research presents a novelty that lies in the experience of stress management during the initial guidance of inmates.

Homozygous deleterious variants in MYCBPAP induce asthenoteratozoospermia involving abnormal acrosome biogenesis, manchette structure and sperm tail assembly in humans and mice.

Asthenoteratozoospermia is a common cause of male infertility. To further define the genetic causes underlying asthenoteratozoospermia, we performed whole-exome sequencing in a cohort of Han Chinese men with asthenoteratozoospermia. Homozygous deleterious variants of MYCBPAP were first identified in two unrelated Chinese cases. Replication analyses in a French cohort revealed an additional asthenoter-atozoospermia-affected case harboring a homozygous nonsense variant in MYCBPAP. All of the identified MYCBPAP variants were absent or extremely rare in the public human genome databases. Further functional assays indicated remarkably reduced abundance of MYCBPAP in the spermatozoa from MYCBPAP-associated cases. Subsequently, we generated a Mycbpap knockout (Mycbpap-/-) mouse model, which also exhibited male infertility with reduced sperm motility and abnormal morphologies in sperm heads and flagella. Further investigations demonstrated that Mycbpap-/- male mice presented disrupted acrosome biogenesis and abnormally elongated manchette during spermiogenesis. Intriguingly, proteomic analyses indicated that the proteins related to spermatogenesis, acrosomal and flagellar functions were significantly down-regulated in the testes from Mycbpap-/- male mice. Endogenous immunoprecipitation combined with mass spectrometry revealed interactions of MYCBPAP with a ribosome elimination related protein ARMC3 and central apparatus proteins including CFAP65 and CFAP70. Furthermore, MYCBPAP-associated male infertility in humans and mice could be partially overcome by using intracytoplasmic sperm injections. Collectively, these findings illustrate the essential role of MYCBPAP in normal spermatogenesis and homozygous deleterious variants in MYCBPAP can be considered as a genetic diagnostic indicator for infertile men with asthenoteratozoospermia. Our study will provide effective guidance for genetic counseling, clinical diagnosis and assisted reproduction treatments of MYCBPAP-associated male infertility.

ANALISIS PENGARUH BIMBINGAN KONSELING BERBASIS PENDIDIKAN ISLAM DALAM MEREDUKSI PERILAKU BULLYNG PADA SISWA

Bullying behavior is a serious issue in the world of education, including in Indonesia. Studies show that repeated exposure to bullying can negatively impact students' mental health and well-being. In Indonesia, the prevalence of bullying behavior among students reaches quite high levels, involving various forms such as teasing, insults and beatings. The Indonesian Child Protection Commission (KPAI) identifies bullying in schools as a serious form of violence, although in some cases society sometimes considers it normal. Handling bullying behavior requires an active role from the school, including through counseling guidance services. Islamic guidance is recognized as a method that can help reduce bullying behavior by focusing on the principles of the Islamic religion, emphasizing the happiness of life in this world and the afterlife. The objectives of Islamic guidance include helping individuals solve problems, preventing problems from arising, and guiding individuals in implementing the teachings of the Islamic religion. Islamic education also emphasizes the prohibition against bullying behavior, considering it a disgraceful or negative act. Low empathy was identified as another contributor to bullying behavior, and Islamic guidance was considered an important effort in creating quality students. A holistic approach that integrates religious values and guidance and counseling services is expected to help reduce incidents of bullying behavior among students. Future research can further explore the implementation of guidance and counseling programs that collaborate with religious and Islamic education. A deeper analysis of the role of religious guidance in changing personality characteristics associated with bullying is also an important focus. Including the experiences of students, teachers, counselors, and parents will provide valuable insight to improve the effectiveness of these programs. Thus, it is hoped that this research can provide a more comprehensive view of overcoming the problem of bullying behavior among students.

Counseling and disclosure practices in predictive Alzheimer's disease diagnostics: A scoping review.

New possibilities of biomarker-based predictive technologies for Alzheimer's disease (AD) have become more reliable as well as more accessible. Standardized clinical recommendations and guidance for counseling and disclosure in this context are not yet well developed. Our scoping review identified publications from database searches in PubMed, PsycINFO, LIVIVO, and Web of Science. Inclusion criteria were: (1) information or counseling, (2) biomarkers and a type of cognitive impairment or AD, and (3) published between 2005 and 2024. We identified 63 articles and synthesized them along the categories of staged information provision: pre-test counseling, disclosure, and post-disclosure follow-up. Most publications referred to the context of disclosure (48), followed by pre-test counseling (33), and post-disclosure follow-up (31). Some publications referred to all stages of counseling (17). Our findings highlight the need to further develop and specify comprehensive and standardized guidelines for counseling, disclosure, and post-disclosure follow-up in the context of AD biomarker testing. HIGHLIGHTS: New possibilities of biomarker-based predictive technologies for Alzheimer's disease (AD) have become more reliable and also more accessible. However, clinical recommendations and guidance for counseling and disclosure in the context of AD biomarker testing are currently not well developed. We carried out a scoping review with the aim to generate an overview of the scientific literature and guidance available regarding counseling, biomarker test result and dementia risk disclosure, and clinical management prior to and in the course of a biomarker-based diagnosis in early stages of AD. We identified 63 relevant articles. Most publications referred to the context of disclosure (48), followed by pre-test counseling (33), and post-disclosure follow-up (31). Some publications referred to all stages of counseling (17). Our findings highlight the urgent need for national and international consensus guidelines for comprehensive and staged counseling and disclosure practices. While most publications identify relevant ethical challenges posed for counseling practices in the context of AD biomarker testing, they rarely present any practical recommendations for clinicians, on how and what to counsel on a concrete level.
