    Abstract Background: Duplication of the distal end of chromosome 15q has been previously implicated in a characteristic overgrowth syndrome. Additionally, many patients have other congenital malformations, including cardiac, renal, genital, and musculoskeletal anomalies. However, some patients may present with intrauterine growth restriction and short stature. Different breakpoints within 15q, as well as different environmental factors, may underlie these varied presentations.
    Case presentation: We discuss monochorionic-diamniotic twins with a ~345 kb maternally inherited duplication in 15q26.3. The twins presented with discordant pathology-one twin with a single umbilical artery, selective intrauterine growth restriction, and multiple cardiac defects including aortic coarctation, aortic valve stenosis, and ventricular septal defect, whereas the other twin was unaffected. To our knowledge, this case represents the smallest reported duplication of distal 15q.
    Conclusion: The discordant phenotype seen in the twins is likely due to a complex interplay between genetic and environmental causes. The affected infant presented prenatally with growth restriction and a single umbilical artery rather than overgrowth, potentially due to a unique breakpoint within 15q. This, in turn, may have produced hemodynamic perturbations between the twins, leading to discordant cardiac disease. Our report thus highlights the importance of genetic and nongenetic mechanisms underlying discordant anomalies in monochorionic twins.

    Abstract Purpose: The aim of this report is to inform the genetics and genomics field about the results of a 2019 workforce survey of US laboratory geneticists.
    Methods: The American Board of Medical Genetics and Genomics distributed an electronic survey to board-certified/eligible diplomates in 2019. Analysis of the responses was performed by the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics.
    Results: A total of 422 individuals identified as laboratory geneticists. The respondents represent the range of possible certifications. Nearly one-third were Clinical Cytogenetics and Genomics diplomates, another third were Molecular Genetics and Genomics diplomates, and the others were Clinical Biochemical Genetics diplomates or held a combination of certificates. The majority of laboratory geneticists are PhDs. The others were physicians or other degree combinations. Most laboratory geneticists work in academic medical centers or commercial laboratories. Most respondents identified as females and White. The median age was 53 years. A third of the respondents have been in the profession for 21+ years and plan to reduce hours or retire in the next 5 years.
    Conclusion: The genetics field needs to foster the next generation of laboratory geneticists to meet the increasing complexity and demand for genetic testing.

    Abstract Demographic and clinical information from de-identified individuals utilizing a single DNA banking service over a 22-year period was assessed using descriptive statistics. The socioeconomic characteristics of the study population were estimated using a zip code-level analysis of US Census data and compared to national US Metrics for 2016. Samples from 4,874 individuals were deposited to a single commercial DNA bank from 1997 to 2019. Samples originated from 31 countries across 6 continents, with the majority of samples originating from the United States (US; 97.37%; n = 4,746). A higher proportion of individuals identifying as females (55.58%; n = 2,709) utilized the service compared to males (41.18%; n = 2,007). The age distribution was bimodal, peaking around 5 years of age and again around 65 years of age. Whole blood was the preferred specimen for submission. Sample deposits peaked in 2015 with 559 annual deposits. Clinical genetic counselors were the most common referral source (41.73%; n = 2,034). Individuals utilizing DNA banking services are estimated to reside in wealthier, more educated and less racially diverse zip codes compared to national metrics. Although direct to consumer DNA banking is being utilized by the general public and clinical genetic counselors in the US, it is not widespread.

    Abstract Aneurysmal lesions are commonly seen in Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS). To better identify the regional and vessel-specific spectrum of aneurysms in different subtypes of EDS, we performed a systematic review. We searched Medline for relevant studies from 1963 to April 2022. Studies providing a report of any EDS subtype by genetic diagnosis, histologic analysis, or clinical criteria were included. A total of 448 patients from 220 studies were included. 720 vessel-specific aneurysms were reported: 386 in the abdominopelvic area, 165 in the intracranial region, 98 in the thorax, 2 in the extremities, and 6 in the venous system. In 27 out of the 65 patients with ruptured aneurysms, the ruptured aneurysm was the initial presentation. Multiple aneurysms were present in 163 out of 249 patients who had been systematically evaluated for other locations of aneurysms. The head and neck and abdominopelvic regions are two potential foci for aneurysm formation in patients with EDS. The aneurysm development in EDS is not confined to arteries; the venous system and cardiac septa may also be affected. Many patients develop multiple aneurysms, either at the time of the initial presentation or throughout their lifetime and aneurysm formation or rupture may be the first presentation of EDS.

    Abstract Background: Women remain underrepresented in top leadership positions in academic medicine. In business settings, a person with power and influence actively supporting the career advancement of a junior person is referred to as a sponsor and sponsorship programs have been used to diversify leadership. Little is known about how sponsorship functions in academic medicine.
    Objective: To explore perceptions of sponsorship and its relationship to gender and career advancement in academic medicine.
    Design: Qualitative study using semi-structured, one-on-one interviews with sponsors and protégés.
    Participants: Twelve sponsors (clinical department chairs) and 11 protégés (participants of a school of medicine executive leadership program [N = 23]) at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.
    Key results: All sponsors were men and all were professors, six of the 11 protégés were women, and four of the 23 participants were underrepresented minorities in medicine. We identified three themes: (1) people (how and who): women seek out and receive sponsorship differently; (2) process (faster and further): sponsorship provides an extra boost, especially for women; and (3) politics and culture (playing favorites and paying it forward): sponsorship and fairness. Informants acknowledge that sponsorship provides an extra boost for career advancement especially for women. Sponsors and protégés differ in their perceptions of how sponsorship happens. Informants describe gender differences in how sponsorship is experienced and specifically noted that women were less likely to actively seek out sponsorship and be identified as protégés compared to men. Informants describe a tension between sponsorship and core academic values such as transparency, fairness, and merit.
    Conclusion: Sponsorship is perceived to be critical to high-level advancement and is experienced differently by women. Increased understanding of how sponsorship works in academic medicine may empower individual faculty to utilize this professional relationship for career advancement and provide institutions with a strategy to diversify top leadership positions.

    Abstract Objective: To compare the number of children needed to screen to identify a case of childhood dyslipidemia and estimate costs under universal vs targeted screening approaches.
    Study design: We constructed a decision-analytic model comparing the health system costs of universal vs targeted screening for hyperlipidemia in US children aged 10 years over a 1-year time horizon. Targeted screening was defined by family history: dyslipidemia in a parent and/or early cardiovascular disease in a first-degree relative. Prevalence of any hyperlipidemia (low-density lipoprotein [LDL] ≥130 mg/dL) and severe hyperlipidemia (LDL ≥190 mg/dL or LDL ≥160 mg/dL with family history) were obtained from published estimates. Costs were estimated from the 2016 Maryland Medicaid fee schedule. We performed sensitivity analyses to evaluate the influence of key variables on the incremental cost per case detected.
    Results: For universal screening, the number needed to screen to identify 1 case was 12 for any hyperlipidemia and 111 for severe hyperlipidemia. For targeted screening, the number needed to screen was 7 for any hyperlipidemia and 49 for severe hyperlipidemia. The incremental cost per case detected for universal compared with targeted screening was $1980 for any hyperlipidemia and $32 170 for severe hyperlipidemia.
    Conclusions: Our model suggests that universal cholesterol screening detects hyperlipidemia at a low cost per case, but may not be the most cost-efficient way to identify children with severe hyperlipidemia who are most likely to benefit from treatment.
