Systematic Cardiac Phenotyping of Patients With Copy Number Variants in the 15q11.2 Breakpoint 1 to Breakpoint 2 Region: A Retrospective Cohort Study From Nine Pediatric Cardiac Centers

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microdeletions impacting 15q11.2 breakpoint (BP) 1 to BP2, adjacent to the Prader–Willi critical region, have previously described neuropsychiatric associations, with potential low penetrance presentations of congenital heart disease (CHD) also identified.

Integrating Genetic Modifier Genotype With Serum Proteomics in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Clinical Trials Links LTBP4 Genetic Modifier to IL‐23/CD93 Pathways in Muscle

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Genetic modifiers of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) that alter disease severity or response to therapy have been reported using natural history or registry data sets of older corticosteroid‐treated patients. We tested associations of genetic modifiers on motor function outcomes in young (4 to < 7 years) steroid naïve clinical trial ...

ADNP‐Related Helsmoortel–Van der Aa Syndrome: A Review of the Literature and Clinical Recommendations for Assessment and Monitoring

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT ADNP‐related Helsmoortel–Van der Aa syndrome (ADNP‐related HVDAS) is a single gene form of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) caused by pathogenic sequence variants in the activity‐dependent neuroprotective protein (ADNP) gene. In addition to ASD, ADNP‐related HVDAS is associated with a wide range of cognitive, behavioral, and physical health ...

Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita in Pediatric Age: Correlation Between MUScular MRI and Functional Evaluation (AMUSE), Toward a Biomechanical Model

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita (AMC) is a group of diseases with joint limitations at two or more distinct joint levels at birth. Joint limitations are not progressive, but the functional consequences have a lifelong impact on patients. The management of these conditions is therefore demanding, necessarily multidisciplinary, and is a long ...

"Body dissatisfaction is a problem for a large percentage of boys and men, but male body concerns differ from those of girls and women. Specifically, males are significantly more likely to want to increase their size, particularly in terms of muscularity, while females typically want to get thinner in order to match the culturally defined body ideals ...

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

open access: yesAmerican 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 ...

Patient‐Derived Fibroblasts as a Clinically Relevant Model of Kearns–Sayre Syndrome

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Kearns–Sayre syndrome (KSS) is characterized by single large‐scale mitochondrial DNA deletions and by severe early‐onset clinical manifestations with neurological involvement. Reliable disease models, as well as validated biomarkers or effective treatments, are lacking.
