Assessment of Growth in Cardio‐Facio‐Cutaneous Syndrome

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cardio‐facio‐cutaneous (CFC) syndrome is a rare, multiple congenital anomaly disorder in which individuals commonly experience faltering growth; however, systematic analysis of growth parameters in this disorder has not been performed. We recruited 69 participants with CFC through CFC International and collected data on assessing height ...

Spinal Involvement in Charge Syndrome: Implications for Management

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT CHARGE syndrome (OMIM #214800) is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by mutations in the CHD7 gene in most cases. Although originally defined by the CHARGE acronym (coloboma, heart defects, choanal atresia, growth restriction, genital hypoplasia, and ear anomalies), the recognized phenotype has expanded considerably to include highly ...

The human middle ear in motion: 3D visualization and quantification using dynamic synchrotron-based X-ray imaging

open access: yesCommunications Biology
The characterization of the vibrations of the middle ear ossicles during sound transmission is a focal point in clinical research. However, the small size of the structures, their micrometer-scale movement, and the deep-seated position of the middle ear ...

A brief note on the human visceral skeleton - An evolutionary perspective

open access: yesBulletins et Mémoires de la Société d’Anthropologie de Paris, 2009
A review of the visceral skeleton whose origin is in the branchial arches is reported here. It refers to bones, muscles and ligaments of relevant anatomical areas (ear ossicles, basicranium and mandible).

Magnetically driven middle ear ossicles for optical measurement of vibrations in a ear with opened eardraum

open access: yes, 2012
: Vibrations of the middle ear ossicles are easily measured by means of laser vibrometry. However, exposing the ossicles requires the removal of the eardrum, with the result that the ossicles can no longer be stimulated acoustically.

A Rare Form of Microcephalic Primordial Dwarfism due to NSMCE2 Deficiency (Seckel Syndrome Type 10): A Report of Macular Involvement

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biallelic variants in NSMCE2 (MMS21), which encodes the SUMO E3 ligase subunit of the SMC5/6 chromatin‐maintenance complex, have recently been implicated in microcephalic primordial dwarfism (MPD), corresponding to Seckel syndrome type 10 (OMIM #617246).

The ear as a biometric

open access: yes, 2007
It is more than 10 years since the first tentative experiments in ear biometrics were conducted and it has now reached the “adolescence” of its development towards a mature biometric.

Ontogenetic development of weberian ossicles and hearing abilities in the African bullhead catfish.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
BackgroundThe weberian apparatus of otophysine fishes facilitates sound transmission from the swimbladder to the inner ear to increase hearing sensitivity. It has been of great interest to biologists since the 19(th) century.

Expanding the Phenotypic Spectrum of TXNDC15‐Related Ciliopathies to Include Joubert Syndrome

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biallelic loss‐of‐function variants in TXNDC15 are a known cause of the perinatally lethal ciliopathy Meckel syndrome (MKS). TXNDC15 encodes an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)‐resident thioredoxin‐domain protein required for ciliary transition zone integrity.

A Novel Splice Variant in ERGIC1 Causes Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita—Characterization Using Urine‐Derived Cells

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC) is defined as the presence of joint contractures affecting at least two body regions at birth. Three different ERGIC1 variants have been reported in individuals with AMC. Here, we report on a 16‐year‐old male with a homozygous ERGIC1 c.250+1G>A variant that was classified as a variant of uncertain ...
