Clinical aspects of Hyaline Fibromatosis Syndrome and identification of a novel mutation
Background Hyaline fibromatosis syndrome is an autosomal recessive disease caused by mutations in ANTXR2 which leads to loss of function of the transmembrane protein anthrax toxin receptor 2.

Infantile systemic hyalinosis associated with a putative splice-site mutation in the ANTXR2 gene
Infantile systemic hyalinosis (ISH) is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder characterized by dermal and subcutaneous fibromatosis, joint contractures and bone deformities. The condition usually presents at birth, resulting in death in infancy. ISH is caused by mutations in the anthrax toxin receptor 2 gene, ANTXR2, also known as CMG2.

Very Rare Case of Hyaline Fibromatosis Syndrome Successfully Treated with Surgical Excision and Review of Literature [PDF]
Hyaline fibromatosis syndrome (HFS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by ANTXR2 gene mutations, resulting in abnormal deposition of hyaline material in connective tissues. Fewer than 100 cases have been documented worldwide.

Epigenome-wide analysis identifies DNA methylation mediators of treatment-related cardiometabolic risk in survivors of childhood cancer [PDF]
Childhood cancer survivors face increased cardiometabolic risks from cancer treatment exposures, yet mechanisms remain unclear. Here, epigenome-wide analysis identifies 1893 DNA methylation (DNAm) sites in peripheral-blood-mononuclear-cells (PBMCs ...

Identification and verification of genes associated with hypoxia microenvironment in Alzheimer’s disease [PDF]
As the incidence of Alzheimer's disease (AD) increases year by year, more people begin to study this disease. In recent years, many studies on reactive oxygen species (ROS), neuroinflammation, autophagy, and other fields have confirmed that hypoxia is ...

Identification of 2 novel ANTXR2 mutations in patients with hyaline fibromatosis syndrome and proposal of a modified grading system [PDF]
AbstractJuvenile hyaline fibromatosis (JHF) and infantile systemic hyalinosis (ISH) are rare, autosomal recessive disorders of the connective tissue caused by mutations in the gene encoding the anthrax toxin receptor 2 protein (ANTXR2) located on chromosome 4q21.

Network‐based Plasma Proteomics Reveals Molecular Overlap Between Physical Activity and Dementia Risk [PDF]
Abstract Background Physical activity (PA) is associated with lower dementia risk; however, underlying molecular pathways are poorly understood. We leveraged large‐scale plasma proteomics to identify biological signatures of objectively‐monitored PA in cognitively unimpaired (CU) older adults and cross‐validated signatures in independent exercise ...
