A developmental and genetic classification for malformations of cortical development: update 2012. [PDF]
Malformations of cerebral cortical development include a wide range of developmental disorders that are common causes of neurodevelopmental delay and epilepsy. In addition, study of these disorders contributes greatly to the understanding of normal brain

Acquired Cutis Laxa on the Upper Eyelids and Earlobes: A Case Report and Literature Review
Acquired cutis laxa is a rare disease. Owing to few reports on the condition, no statistical data have been produced. Cutis laxa is characterized by drooping skin, caused by decreased levels of dermal elastin, leading to reduced skin elasticity.

Novel deletions causing pseudoxanthoma elasticum underscore the genomic instability of the ABCC6 region [PDF]
Mutations in ABCC6 cause pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE), a heritable disease that affects elastic fibers. Thus far, >200 mutations have been characterized by various PCR-based techniques (primarily direct sequencing), identifying up to 90% of PXE-causing

Characterization of a distinct lethal arteriopathy syndrome in twenty-two infants associated with an identical, novel mutation in FBLN4 gene, confirms fibulin-4 as a critical determinant of human vascular elastogenesis [PDF]
Background: Vascular elasticity is crucial for maintaining hemodynamics. Molecular mechanisms involved in human elastogenesis are incompletely understood.

A 5-year journey with cutis laxa in an Indian child: The de barsy syndrome revisited
De Barsy syndrome (DBS), synonymously known as autosomal recessive cutis laxa type III, is an extremely rare condition clinically characterized by cutis laxa, a progeroid appearance, and ophthalmologic abnormalities.

Living with cutis laxa: an exploratory study [PDF]
Rare diseases, while individually uncommon, collectively may impact up to 10% of the population. This makes rare disease a major global public health issue. Most rare diseases have a genetic etiology.
