Presenting Clinical Information on Rare Chromosome 6 Disorders via a Parent‐Centered Website: Parental and Professional Views

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The scarcity of clinical information surrounding rare chromosome disorders poses challenges for parents and clinicians. To bridge this gap for chromosome 6 disorders, the Chromosome 6 Project collects detailed genotype and phenotype data, aiming to provide aberration‐specific phenotype information to parents via an interactive website.

Growth Charts for Children With Beckwith–Wiedemann Spectrum

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Beckwith–Wiedemann spectrum (BWSp) is an overgrowth disorder caused by (epi)genetic alterations in chromosome 11p15. This study aimed to develop BWSp‐specific growth charts and explore genotype/phenotype correlations with respect to growth. Heights, weights, and head circumferences were retrospectively collected from 581 individuals with BWSp ...

Cohesins: Crossroad Between Cornelia de Lange Spectrum and Cancer Predisposition

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The cohesin complex plays crucial roles in DNA repair, chromatid separation, and gene transcription regulation. Pathogenic variants in cohesins or dysfunctional transcriptional regulators lead to cohesinopathies, a broader group of disorders including Cornelia de Lange Spectrum (CdLSp), for which the prevalence of cancer cases remains unclear.

Two New Cases Expand the Phenotypic Spectrum of TUBG1 Missense Variants

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The gamma‐tubulin ring complex (γ‐TuRC) plays a role in coordinating centrosome and spindle pole body formation during cell division. TUBG1 encodes a critical component of the γ‐TuRC. Pathogenic TUBG1 variants can cause a range of alterations in cortical gyral patterning, microcephaly, and other neurological manifestations.

Exploring Oral Health Related Quality of Life in Rett Syndrome Using Directed Content Analysis

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT No validated oral health‐related quality of life (OHRQOL) instrument currently exists for those with severe intellectual and developmental disabilities and who communicate non‐verbally. This qualitative study aimed to explore the domains that were important to the oral health‐related quality of life in individuals with Rett syndrome (RTT).
