Incremental yield of prenatal exome sequencing in fetuses with skeletal system abnormalities: A systematic review and meta‐analysis [PDF]
Introduction Fetal skeletal abnormalities can be caused by various factors and genetic cause plays an important role. Prenatal exome sequencing (ES) has been shown to be a powerful approach for accurate prenatal molecular diagnoses.

Targeted Next-Generation Sequencing in the Diagnosis of Facial Dysostoses [PDF]
BackgroundDefects in the development of the first and second pharyngeal arches and their derivatives result in abnormal formation of the craniofacial complex, consequently giving rise to facial dysostoses (FDs).

MUSCULOSKELETAL ALTERATIONS OF ORTHOPEDIC INTEREST IN MUCOPOLYSACCHARIDOSES [PDF]
Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) are lysosomal storage diseases characterized by the improper accumulation of glycosaminoglycans due to genetic deficiencies in specific enzymes. This accumulation leads to progressive cellular and tissue dysfunction, affecting

Long-term outcomes in two adult siblings with Fucosidosis – Diagnostic odyssey and clinical manifestations [PDF]
Fucosidosis (OMIN# 230000) is a rare lysosomal storage disorder (LSDs) caused by mutations in the FUCA1 gene, leading to alpha-L-fucosidase deficiency; it is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. Fucosidosis represents a disease spectrum with a wide

Rare syndromes of the head and face: mandibulofacial and acrofacial dysostoses [PDF]
Craniofacial anomalies account for approximately one-third of all congenital birth defects reflecting the complexity of head and facial development. Craniofacial development is dependent upon a multipotent, migratory population of neural crest cells ...

Intraoperative Three-dimensional Virtual Reality and Computed Tomographic Guidance in Temporomandibular Joint Arthroplasty of Syndromic Craniofacial Dysostoses [PDF]
Summary:. Bony ankylosis of the temporomandibular joints (TMJ) occurs in up to 28% of patients with syndromic mandibular dysostoses. Release of complete osseous ankylosis is particularly challenging due to the lack of tissue planes separating the ...

Characterizing Mandibular Morphology in Robin Sequence-A 3D Statistical Shape Analysis. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Robin sequence (RS) is a congenital condition and constitutes the triad of micrognathia, glossoptosis, and upper airway obstruction. While micrognathia is a cardinal feature of RS, its assessment is largely subjective.
