TL;DR

A previously unreported splice-site mutation in TACR3 that likely causes familial infertility by disrupting the neurokinin B/NK3R signaling pathway is identified and extended the mutational landscape of TACR3 and highlight its essential contribution to male reproductive endocrinology.

DAAM2 gene variants p.(Asp165Glu) and p.(Asn614ThrfsTer2) in pediatric cryptorchidism: a hypothesis-generating pilot case-control study from the Eastern Black Sea region of Türkiye

The observed fivefold increase in heterozygosity of p.(Asn614ThrfsTer2) and the presence of homozygosity of p.(Asp165Glu) in cryptorchidism cases contribute to the literature and suggest that DAAM2 variants may play a potential role in the etiology of cryptorchidism.

In vitro analysis of the effects of intronic variants c.940+3_940+6del, c.941-3C>G, and c.2389+5G>A in the LDLR gene on pre-mRNA splicing using a minigene assay

Functional in vitro analysis is a key tool for the molecular verification of intronic variants of uncertain clinical significance and, in conjunction with clinical data, supports the establishment of a definitive molecular diagnosis.
