Worth the Effort: Lessons for Discovery and Care From an Unusual Case of Gorlin Syndrome

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gorlin‐Goltz Syndrome (GGS) is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder encompassing a diverse range of clinical manifestations, including congenital anomalies and predisposition to cancer. Pathogenic variants in PTCH1 and SUFU account for up to 79% and 6% of cases, respectively. Currently, an estimated 15%–27% of individuals with a clinical

Quality of Life of Families Who Have Children With Cornelia de Lange Syndrome in Brazil: Opportunities for Improvement

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This exploratory cross‐sectional study aimed to estimate the family quality of life (FQoL) among 70 Brazilian families with children with Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS). Data were collected using sociodemographic and clinical data forms, the Barthel index for activities of daily living, and the Beach Center FQoL Scale, a 5‐point Likert tool

An autosomal dominant ERLIN2 mutation leads to a pure HSP phenotype distinct from the autosomal recessive ERLIN2 mutations (SPG18)

Scientific Reports, 2020
Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is a heterogeneous inherited disorder that manifests with lower extremity weakness and spasticity. HSP can be inherited by autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, and X-linked inheritance patterns. Recent studies have

Addressing the Diagnostic Odyssey for Adults With Neurodevelopmental Disabilities: Case Study of an Individual With Mandibulofacial Dysostosis With Microcephaly

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Whole exome sequencing (WES) has been widely used in the pediatric setting to increase diagnostic yield, provide treatment options, and to estimate reoccurrence risks. However, there is limited knowledge regarding the utility of this technology in adults with neurodevelopmental disabilities.

Ocular Findings as the Most Striking Manifestation of a SMAD3 Variant

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Loeys‐Dietz syndrome (LDS) is a heritable connective tissue disorder with variable expressivity. It is a multisystemic condition mainly characterized by a propensity for arterial aneurysms and dissections, skeletal manifestations, hypertelorism, bifid uvula, craniosynostosis, and cutaneous features.

Autosomal dominant Parkinson’s disease [PDF]

Journal of Neurology, 1998
Multiple factors have been hypothesized over the years to be contributory and or causative for Parkinson's disease (PD). Hereditary factors, although originally discounted, have recently emerged in the focus of PD research. The study of a large Italian family with PD using a genome scan approach led to the mapping of a PD susceptibility gene to the ...

The Behavioral Phenotype and Importance of Multidisciplinary Care in Patients With Sotos Syndrome: A Single‐Center Experience

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sotos syndrome is an autosomal dominant condition caused by pathogenic variants in the NSD1 gene on chromosome 5q35. It is characterized by macrosomia, distinctive facial features, and developmental delays. Patients are also reported to have a behavioral phenotype including autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder ...

Genotype-Phenotype Correlations in Autosomal Dominant Osteogenesis Imperfecta

Journal of Osteoporosis, 2011
Osteogenesis imperfecta, discussed in Baldridge et al. 2008 is an inherited bone fragility disorder with a wide range of clinical severity that in the majority of cases is caused by mutations in COL1A1 or COL1A2, the genes that encode the two collagen ...

Long‐Read Whole‐Genome Sequencing Uncovers a Deletion Upstream to HOXD13 Causing Synpolydactyly

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Synpolydactyly (SPD) is a heterogeneous distal‐limb malformation syndrome, characterized by webbing and duplication of adjacent digits. SPD1, the most common type, is attributed to disease‐causing variants in HOXD13, a transcription factor in the HOXD cluster that is essential for limb development. Here, we present a challenging exome‐negative
