Genetic analysis of non-syndromic hearing loss (NSHL) has been challenged due to marked clinical and genetic heterogeneity. Today, advanced next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies, such as exome sequencing (ES), have drastically increased the efficacy of gene identification in heterogeneous Mendelian disorders. Here, we present the utility of ES and re-evaluate the phenotypic data for identifying candidate causal variants for previously unexplained progressive moderate to severe NSHL in an extended Iranian family...

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with body composition changes, which are associated with clinical prognosis, response to therapy, and quality of life in IBD patients. Therefore, it is critical to review the body composition distribution in IBD, summarize the potential factors affecting body composition distribution, and take steps to improve the body composition distribution of IBD patients as early as possible. In the current review, we searched PubMed via keywords 'inflammatory bowel disease', or 'IBD', or 'Crohn's disease', or 'CD', or 'ulcerative colitis', or 'UC', and 'body composition'...

BACKGROUND: Although polypharmacy is considered a major predictor of irrational use of drugs, little is known about polypharmacy in developing regions. We aimed to indicate the prevalence and correlates of polypharmacy and to determine the medication profile at the population level in southern Iran. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, we analyzed data from participants of the Pars Cohort Study (PCS) (aged above 40 years, N=9269). Polypharmacy was defined as using five or more medications concurrently...

A new model of relations emerged in schools after the establishment of new educational centers in Iran in the mid-Qajar era. The cultural authorities of the time were particularly interested in school health, which was adopted as a principle from the European, particularly French, school systems. During the period 1925 to 1941, with special attention to the new Western models of education, school health changed more and more. This study provides a descriptive-analytical report on state health policies in girl schools in Tehran, Iran, from 1927 to 1934, based on health records available at the National Archives of Iran...

BACKGROUND: The numerical and structural abnormalities of chromosomes are the most common cause of infertility. Here, we evaluated the prevalence and types of chromosomal abnormalities in Iranian infertile patients. METHODS: We enrolled 1750 couples of reproductive age with infertility, who referred to infertility clinics in Tehran during 2014- 2019, in order to perform chromosomal analysis. Peripheral blood samples were obtained from all couples and chromosomal abnormalities were evaluated by G-banded metaphase karyotyping...

BACKGROUND: Little is known about the predictors of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) -an important predictor of mortality- after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in low- and middle-income countries. METHODS: In a prospective cohort study at Imam Ali hospital, Kermanshah, Iran, we enrolled consecutive ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients treated with primary PCI (2016-2018) and followed them up to one year. LVEF levels were measured by echocardiography, at baseline and one-year follow-up...

BACKGROUND: The LIPA gene on chromosome 10q23.31 contains 10 exons and encodes lipase A, the lysosomal acid lipase (LAL) containing 399 amino acids. Pathogenic variants in the LIPA result in autosomal recessive Wolman disease and cholesteryl ester storage disease (CESD). Here, we report a novel missense variant (NM_001127605.3:c.928T>A, p.Trp310Arg) of LIPA in an Iranian family with fatty liver disease identified by whole-exome sequencing and confirmed by Sanger sequencing.

BACKGROUND: Global real-time monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 variants is crucial to controlling the COVID-19 outbreak. The purpose of this study was to set up a Sanger-based platform for massive SARS-CoV-2 variant tracking in laboratories in low-resource settings. METHODS: We used nested RT-PCR assay, Sanger sequencing and lineage assignment for 930-bp of the SARS-CoV-2 spike gene, which harbors specific variants of concern (VOCs) mutations. We set up our platform by comparing its results with whole genome sequencing (WGS) data on 137 SARS-CoV-2 positive samples...

Rhabdomyolysis is a rare serious side effect of antipsychotic medication use. There are cases of rhabdomyolysis due to the use of clozapine, risperidone, olanzapine, and haloperidol in the literature. In this report, we describe a rhabdomyolysis case developed on the 13th day of using 2.5 mg /day aripiprazole in a 17-year-old male patient with a diagnosis of somatic symptom disorder. This case is one of the youngest in the literature to develop rhabdomyolysis after the use of aripiprazole. Moreover, this case is distinguished from the others with its low-dose, short-term and single antipsychotic use...
