Regulation of PHOX2B gene expression by the long non‐coding natural antisense RNA PHOX2B‐AS1
PHOX2B is a transcription factor essential for autonomic nervous system development. We identify and characterize PHOX2B‐AS1, a human long non‐coding antisense transcript at the PHOX2B locus, along with its murine counterpart. Our findings reveal bidirectional transcription and reciprocal regulation: PHOX2B activates PHOX2B‐AS1, whereas PHOX2B‐AS1 ...

ABSTRACT Agrin is an important factor in maintaining skeletal architecture. However, the role of osteoblast‐expressed agrin in bone tissue remains unexplored. Thus, we hypothesized that agrin‐deficient osteoblasts negatively affect bone tissue homeostasis by disrupting osteoblastic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs).

Uncovering the Genetic Landscape of Spinal Dysraphism: A Retrospective Analysis of 150 Fetal Cases
ABSTRACT Objective Spinal dysraphism (SD) results from incomplete neural tube closure and encompasses a heterogeneous group of congenital anomalies with genetic and environmental etiologies. Although genetic contributions are recognized, causative variants remain insufficiently defined, and the clinical implications of extended genetic testing on ...

Pathways to enhancing prenatal diagnosis of skeletal dysplasias
Abstract Skeletal dysplasias are a group of Mendelian disorders that variably alter the development of the musculoskeletal system and phenotypically range from mild short stature syndromes to severe perinatal or neonatal morbidity. Prenatal diagnosis of these conditions can be challenging due to the lack of precision with ultrasound imaging compared to

Cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) is a bone disorder with cranial malformations, dental abnormalities, clavicular hypoplasia or agenesis and narrow thorax which allows approximation ofshoulders in front of chest. We report a case of CCD and discuss&

ABSTRACT Disuse osteoporosis, a consequence of prolonged mechanical unloading, is characterized by bone loss and elevated fracture susceptibility. Although melatonin exhibits bone‑anabolic properties, its mechanistic role in the context of mechanical unloading remains elusive.

ABSTRACT Pycnodysostosis is a rare autosomal recessive skeletal dysplasia resulting from pathogenic variants in the CTSK gene, which encodes cathepsin K, a lysosomal cysteine protease expressed in osteoclasts. Deficiency of this enzyme leads to defective bone resorption and generalized osteosclerosis.
