Brief Summary: This study significantly advances our understanding of the genetic underpinnings of congenital hypopituitarism (CH) by utilizing whole exome sequencing (WES) in a large cohort of patients from Argentina.CH is a complex and highly heterogeneous disorder that is associated with highly variable clinical phenotypes that range in severity (1). The aetiology of CH may extend beyond monogenic causes, involving oligogenic, polygenic, or multifacto...

Nature. 2022;602(7895):162-8. doi: 10.1038/s41586-021-04312-6.PubMed ID: 35058638Brief summary: This study performed whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of 1013 clonal haematopoietic cell colonies from 12 adult patients aged 20–81 years with myeloproliferative neoplasms, a form of blood cancer. They identified 580 133 somatic mutations and used these to reconstruct haematopoietic clonal his...
