Androgens mediate sexual dimorphism in Pilarowski-Bjornsson syndrome
Pilarowski-Björnsson syndrome (PILBOS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by pathogenic variants in CHD1. Here, we characterize a large PILBOS cohort and describe their variants. Using a patient-specific mouse model, we demonstrate that androgens …

A phenotypic paradigm for cerebral palsy genetics
Cerebral palsy (CP) is frequently linked to Mendelian disease-associated genes, but no accepted model of its genetic architecture exists. We present a phenotypic model showing statistical evidence of association for only a minority of 515 candidate gen…

All of Us Research Program year in review: 2025
The All of Us Research Program1 released its first genomic dataset (Curated Data Repository version 5 [CDRv5]) of almost 100,000 participants in 2022. Since then, All of Us has continued to expand the scale of its genomic offerings, releasing short-rea…

This month in The Journal
In genomic medicine, continuously updated public archives of genetic variants linked to clinical phenotypes, such as ClinVar and the Matchmaker Exchange, are essential for variant interpretation, patient diagnosis, and treatment. This form of data shar…

RNA splicing evidence enables robust classification of BRCA1 exon 18 variants: Results from the ENIGMA consortium
Using RNA and mESC functional analyses of 166 BRCA1 exon 18 variants, this ENIGMA study defines evidence-based thresholds for interpreting variants that induce skipping of this in-frame exon. The findings demonstrate that exon 18 skipping is poorly tol…
