Opitz trigonocephaly syndrome presenting with sudden unexplained death in the operating room: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2011
Introduction Opitz trigonocephaly C syndrome (OTCS) is a rare malformation syndrome with the following features: synostosis of metopic suture, craniofacial abnormalities, severe mental retardation and a multitude of pathological findings affecting almost

Role of SoxE transcription factors in development and disease

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Sox8, Sox9, and Sox10 arose by multiple rounds of genome duplications from a single SoxE gene in ancestral vertebrates. In this review, we will briefly discuss the molecular structure and function of SoxE transcription factors and their evolutionary origin. We will then discuss their expression, function, and developmental disorders.

Secretopathies emerge as a new class of neurocristopathies

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
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.

Proteomic profiling of Elp1‐deficient trigeminal ganglia reveals disruption of neurotrophic and metabolic pathways in a familial dysautonomia mouse model

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Elp1, a subunit of the Elongator complex, is essential for tRNA modification and neuronal development. Mutations in ELP1 underlie familial dysautonomia (FD), a disorder marked by sensory and autonomic neuropathy. While loss of Elp1 disrupts trigeminal ganglion formation and survival, the downstream molecular consequences remain ...

Renal tubular dysgenesis with hypocalvaria and ileocecal valve agenesis: an autopsy report

Autopsy and Case Reports, 2012
Renal tubular dysgenesis (RTD) is a rare, lethal, autosomal recessive disorder characterized by non-differentiation of the renal proximal convoluted tubules, resulting in oligohydramnios.

Diagnosis of Treacher-Collins Syndrome: The role of the multidisciplinary team in patient management and family genetic counseling

Rwanda Medical Journal, 2022
INTRODUCTION: Although Treacher-Collins syndrome has to be considered a differential diagnosis in congenital craniofacial abnormalities, the clinical diagnosis and research related to it still present a gap, especially in African regions.

Zebrafish inversin mutants develop scoliosis in the absence of laterality defects

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Human mutations in INVERSIN are associated with nephronophthisis, variable penetrance of situs inversus and congenital heart disease. Inversin has been shown to localize to cilia and many of the patient phenotypes are attributed to disrupted cilia function.

Differential sensitivity to SHH signaling and neural crest‐mediated Gas1 expression regulate jaw size during development and evolution

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Developmental control of jaw size is crucial to prevent birth defects and facilitate evolutionary adaptation. We have shown that jaw size is established by neural crest mesenchyme (NCM), which are progenitor cells that migrate into the mandibular primordia and produce the jaws.

KBG syndrome: A scoping review of electroclinical features of patients with epilepsy

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives KBG syndrome is a rare autosomal developmental disorder caused by pathogenic variants of the ANKRD11 gene. This scoping review aimed to explore all current literature data regarding clinical and electroencephalographic features of patients with KBG syndrome and epilepsy. Materials and Methods We conducted a literature
