High oxygen affinity hemoglobin (HOAH) variants are rare hemoglobinopathies sometimes associated with congenital erythrocytosis. Patients with HOAH are usually asymptomatic and are incidentally discovered when unexplained erythrocytosis is observed in ...

Genetic heterogeneity of primary familial and congenital polycythemia [PDF]
AbstractPrimary familial and congenital polycythemia (PFCP) is an inherited disorder of erythroid progenitor cells resulting in elevated erythrocyte mass. Several mutations of the erythropoietin receptor (EPOR) gene have been associated with PFCP, although in a few families the linkage between the EPOR gene and PFCP has been excluded.

Brain injury in twin anemia-polycythemia sequence: prevalence, severity and long-term neurodevelopmental outcome. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Objectives The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence, type and severity of pre‐ and postnatal brain injury in monochorionic twins with twin anemia–polycythemia sequence (TAPS). Secondary objectives were to conduct within‐pair comparisons between donor and recipient twins of structural cranial ultrasound (cUS ...

Monochorionic twin pregnancies conceived through assisted reproduction: Maternal and perinatal clinical outcomes. [PDF]
ART‐conceived monochorionic twin pregnancies are associated with a higher burden of maternal complications compared with spontaneous conception. While fetal and neonatal outcomes did not differ significantly between groups after adjustment for relevant confounders, ART‐conceived pregnancies showed higher point estimates for several adverse outcomes ...

Introduction: The exact definition of small-for-gestational-age (SGA) infant is still controversial among clinicians. In this study, we aimed to understand which definition is better in terms of establishing both early postnatal problems and growth.

Co-Occurrence of Agminated Lentigines, Café-Au-Lait Macules, and Vitiligo: A Case Report and Literature Review. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Lentigines, café‐au‐lait macules (CALMs), and vitiligo are pigmentary disorders that seldom occur together in a single individual. Their co‐occurrence may indicate underlying genetic syndromes requiring differential diagnosis. We report an 18‐year‐old male who developed CALMs at age 11, agminated lentigines at age 13, and vitiligo on the right
