A Pilot Study to Evaluate Neurodevelopmental Outcomes in a Pediatric Cohort With Genodermatoses

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Our study aimed to evaluate cognitive function in individuals with genetic skin disorders involving neuroectoderm (n = 8) compared to individuals with only ectoderm or mesoderm (n = 16) involvement. We hypothesized that neuroectodermal involvement would result in poorer neurocognitive performance.

Costello Syndrome and Ophthalmologic Issues: Unveiling the Unseen

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Costello syndrome (CS) is an ultra‐rare condition belonging to the RASopathies, a group of disorders characterized by aberrant RAS/MAPK pathway signaling, which is involved in ocular development and in some eye pathologies. However, only a few studies assessing the ophthalmic features of individuals with CS are available.

Phenotypic Characterization of Seven Pediatric Patients Diagnosed With KAT6B‐Related Disorders: Case Series and Review of the Literature

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Genitopatellar syndrome (GPS) and Say‐Barber‐Biesecker‐Young‐Simpson Syndrome (SBBYSS) are clinically distinct neurodevelopmental disorders caused by monoallelic pathogenic variants in KAT6B. In some cases, GPS and SBBYSS features can overlap, determining an intermediate phenotype.

A mouse coccygeal intervertebral disc degeneration model with tail‐looping constructed using a suturing method

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
A novel, simple coccygeal intervertebral disc degeneration model, using a suturing method for tail‐looping, without the need for external fixation and complex surgery. The model has high reproducibility and stability and overcomes the disadvantages of the existing animal models of disc degeneration.
