Ocular and Systemic Findings in COL2A1 and COL11A1 Stickler Syndrome

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Stickler syndrome is most commonly caused by variants in COL2A1 and COL11A1 genes. The purpose of this study was to describe genetic variants and phenotypes in COL2A1 and COL11A1 Stickler syndrome. We performed a retrospective genotype–phenotype evaluation of COL2A1 and COL11A1 Stickler syndrome subjects. Thirty‐two subjects with COL2A1 and 13

Spectrum of Congenital Anomalies in Myhre Syndrome—Insights Into Effects Brought by Altered TGF‐β Signaling via Gain‐of‐Function Variants in SMAD4

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Myhre syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by progressive multisystem involvement. Gain‐of‐function missense heterozygous variants affecting the Ile500 residue and Arg496 residue of the SMAD4 gene are implicated in this condition.

Strategies for inducing diabetes in laboratory animals: Advances from chemical, surgical, immunologic, dietary, and genetic approaches

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This review summarizes the principal experimental approaches used to induce diabetes in animal models. Strategies include chemical agents (streptozotocin, alloxan, dithizone, gold thioglucose), dietary interventions (high‐fat and high‐sugar diets), surgical methods (total or partial pancreatectomy), genetic models (db/db, ob/ob, Goto‐Kakizaki [GK ...

Cost–benefit analysis of screening programme for diabetic retinopathy in Bulgaria

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Late‐diagnosed diabetic retinopathy (DR) is difficult and expensive to treat. Screening programmes can identify the disease early and reduce the costs of its future treatment. This study aims to analyse the cost–benefit of screening programmes for DR.
