Prenatal Detection of Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita, Present State and Future Perspectives

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC) is a heterogeneous group of conditions characterized by congenital contractures in at least two different body regions. Despite increasingly widespread prenatal ultrasound screening, prenatal detection rates for AMC remain disappointingly low, with fewer than half of affected fetuses diagnosed before ...

Over the edge: Empirical evidence for the cliff‐edge model of obstetric selection

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The cliff‐edge model of obstetric selection maintains that larger neonates and smaller birth canals confer a positive selective advantage until labor becomes obstructed and vaginal delivery is no longer possible, eliciting an abrupt reduction in fitness.

The 9+ month marathon: How pregnancy may have shaped human endurance capacities

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Anthropology has long considered the evolution of our uniquely human endurance capacities to be the result of selection upon anatomical and physiological features imposed by the demands of thermoregulation and resource acquisition, particularly during the demands of persistence hunting. Research has focused on the anatomical changes present in

The “costly son” hypothesis: Sons exacerbate obstetrical dilemmas in humans and other mammals

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Human childbirth has often been considered uniquely difficult among mammals, yet recent evidence suggests that obstructed labor and fetopelvic disproportion are widespread across placental mammals. Here, we propose the “costly son” hypothesis: because male offspring are typically larger at birth, they impose greater obstetric risk on mothers ...

Diagnosing gestational diabetes [PDF]

Diabetologia, 2011
The newly proposed criteria for diagnosing gestational diabetes will result in a gestational diabetes prevalence of 17.8%, doubling the numbers of pregnant women currently diagnosed. These new diagnostic criteria are based primarily on the levels of glucose associated with a 1.75-fold increased risk of giving birth to large-for-gestational age infants (

Clinical and Genetic Factors Associated With Regression in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorders

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a heterogeneous neurodevelopmental condition with complex genetic and environmental underpinnings. A clinically significant subset of children with ASD experience developmental regression (regASD), characterized by the acute loss of previously acquired skills. The mechanisms, predictors, and molecular basis of
