The genetic cause of intellectual deficiency and/or congenital malformations in two parental reciprocal translocation carriers and implications for assisted reproduction.
Article in Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeTo elucidate the genetic cause of intellectual deficiency and/or congenital malformations in two parental reciprocal translocation carriers and provide appropriate strategies of assisted reproductive therapy (ART). MATERIALS AND
methodsTwo similar couples having a child with global developmental delay/intellectual disability symptoms attended the Reproductive and Genetic Hospital of CITIC-Xiangya (Changsha, China) in 2017 and 2019, respectively, in order to determine the cause(s) of the conditions affecting their child and to seek ART to have a healthy baby. Both of the healthy couples were not of consanguineous marriage, denied exposure to toxicants, and had no adverse life history. This study was approved by the Institutional Ethics Committee of the Reproductive & Genetic Hospital of CITIC-Xiangya, and written informed consent was obtained from the parents. Genetic diagnoses were performed by karyotype analysis, breakpoint mapping analysis of chromosomal translocation(s), single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) microarray analysis, and whole-exome sequencing (WES) for the two children and different appropriate reproductive strategies were performed in the two families.
resultsKaryotype analysis revealed that both patients carried parental reciprocal translocations [46,XY,t(7;16)(p13;q24)pat and 46,XY,t(13;17)(q12.3;p11.2)pat, respectively]. Follow-up breakpoint mapping analysis showed no interruption of associated genes, and SNP microarray analysis identified no significant copy number variations (CNVs) in the two patients. Moreover, WES results revealed that patients 1 and 2 harbored candidate compound heterozygous mutations of MCOLN1 [c.195G>C (p.K65N) and c.1061G>A (p.W354*)] and MCPH1 [c.877A>G (p.S293G) and c.1869_1870delAT (p.C624*)], respectively, that were inherited from their parents and not previously reported. Furthermore, the parents of patient 1 obtained 10 embryos during ART cycle, and an embryo of normal karyotype and non-carrier of observed MCOLN1 mutations according to preimplantation genetic testing for structural rearrangement and monogenic defect was successfully transferred, resulting in the birth of a healthy boy. The parents of patient 2 chose to undergo ART with donor sperm to reduce the risk of recurrence.
conclusionsSystematic genetic diagnosis of two carriers of inherited chromosomal translocations accompanied by clinical phenotypes revealed their cause of disease, which was critical for genetic counseling and further ART for these families.
