Genome-wide association study identifies HLA 8.1 ancestral haplotype alleles as major genetic risk factors for myositis phenotypes. Researchers that are developing forensic sequencing kits or are performing population studies, can register on and add loci and allele sequences with a short and simple application interface (API). Analogous to Genbank, its aim is to provide permanent identifiers for forensically relevant allele sequences. It offers permanent identifiers for sequenced forensic alleles (STR or SNP) and their microvariants for use in forensic allele nomenclature. We present the Forensic Loci Allele Database (FLAD) service, made freely available on. There is not yet a consensus on how sequenced profiles should be reported. The main benefits of sequencing are increased multiplexing scales and SNP detection. It is difficult to predict if and when massively parallel sequencing of forensic STR loci will replace capillary electrophoresis as the new standard technology in forensic genetics.

We recommend yearly follow-up with colonoscopy from age 6 and simultaneous video-capsule small bowel enteroscopy from age 8. Our findings show the association between bi-allelic germline PMS2 mutations and severe childhood-onset gastrointestinal manifestations, and support the notion that patients with early-onset gastrointestinal adenomas and cancer should be investigated for CMMR-D syndrome. Tumours of all patients showed microsatellite instability and/or loss of PMS2 expression. The fourth proband developed a cerebral anaplastic ganglioma at age 9 and a high-grade colerectal dysplastic adenoma at age 10 and carries a homozygous c.2174+1G>A mutation. Two intragenic PMS2 deletions were found. The third patient was diagnosed with multiple colorectal adenomas at age 11 he developed a high-grade dysplastic colorectal adenocarcinoma at age 21. A splice site c.2174+1G>A, and a missense c.137G>T (p.Ser46Ile) mutation in PMS2 were identified. In the second family, both the proband and her brother had multiple intestinal adenomas, initially wrongly diagnosed as familial adenomatous polyposis. Genetic testing identified a complete PMS2 gene deletion and a frameshift c.736_741delinsTGTGTGTGAAG (p.Pro246CysfsX3) mutation. The first proband developed a cerebral angiosarcoma at age 2 and two colorectal adenomas at age 7. We present an overview of the published gastrointestinal manifestations of CMMR-D syndrome and propose recommendations for gastro-intestinal screening. We report the clinical, immunohistochemical and genetic characterisation of four families with bi-allelic germline PMS2 mutations. This rare disorder is characterised by paediatric intestinal cancer and other malignancies.
