Identification of novel genes regulating the development of the palate
Abstract Background The International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium (IMPC) has generated thousands of knockout mouse lines, many of which exhibit embryonic or perinatal lethality. Using micro‐computed tomography (micro‐CT), the IMPC has created and publicly released three‐dimensional image data sets of embryos from these lethal and subviable lines.

The role of Rho GTPases in facial morphogenesis
The role of small GTPases, RHOA, RAC1, and CDC42 and pathway mediators is reviewed in the context of embryonic facial development. Lip fusion requires cytoskeletal remodeling during morphogenesis of the facial processes and during lip fusion. Fnm, frontonasal mass; lnp, lateral nasal process; mnp, medial nasal process; mxp, maxillary process; np, nasal

Secretopathies emerge as a new class of neurocristopathies
Abstract Neural crest cells are a transient embryonic population of cells that give rise to a wide range of structures, including craniofacial cartilage and bone, peripheral neurons and glia, as well as components of the cardiac outflow tract, among others.

Congenital universal alopecia, mental deficiency, and microcephaly in two sibs [PDF]
A brother and sister are reported who had congenital universal atrichosis, microcephaly, and mental retardation. Similar observations representing a rare nosological group are summarised. Heterogeneity is suggested. The pathogenesis of the individual syndromes is unknown.

KCNJ4 variants disrupt inward‐rectifier potassium channel function and cause refractory epilepsy
Abstract Objective Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder with a strong genetic basis, most frequently arising from ion channel dysfunction. Although multiple inwardly rectifying potassium (Kir) channels have been implicated in epileptogenesis, the contribution of KCNJ4, which encodes the Kir2.3 channel, has not previously been established in human

Inherited metabolic epilepsies–established diseases, new approaches
Abstract Inherited metabolic epilepsies (IMEs) represent the inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) in which epilepsy is a prevailing component, often determining other neurodevelopmental outcomes associated with the disorder. The different metabolic pathways affected by individual IMEs are the basis of their rarity and heterogeneity.
