Abstract
Small supernumerary marker chromosomes (sSMC) in human are present in 0.043% of newborn children. They can be defined as additional centric chromosome fragments smaller than chromosome 20. sSMC include cases with the i(18p)-, the i(12p)- (i.e. Pallister Killian-) or the inv dup(22)- (i.e. cat-eye-) syndrome. However, about 30% of the remaining sSMC are not yet correlated with clinical syndromes, mostly due to problems in comprehensive characterisation of the sSMC. Here we present an overview of the approaches for sSMC characterisation and suggest a strategy for a straightforward and comprehensive characterisation of the marker chromosomes in question.

Deep learning in Single Cell Analysis
The field of biology is undergoing a revolution in our ability to study individual cells at the molecular level, and to integrate data from multiple sources and modalities. This has been made possible by advances in technologies for single-cell sequencing, multi-omics profiling, spatial transcriptomics, and high-throughput imaging, as well as ...read more
New insights on Pediatric Tumors and Associated Cancer Predisposition Syndromes
Because of the broad spectrum of children cancer susceptibility, the diagnosis of cancer risk syndromes in children is rarely used in direct cancer treatment. The field of pediatric cancer genetics and genomics will only continue to expand as a result of increasing use of genetic testing tools. It's possible that ...read more
