Non-functional immunoglobulin G transcripts in a case of hyper-immunoglobulin M syndrome similar to type 4 [PDF]
86% of immunoglobulin G (IgG) heavy-chain gene transcripts were found to be non-functional in the peripheral blood B cells of a patient initially diagnosed with common variable immunodeficiency, who later developed raised IgM, whereas no non-functionally

RNA-Seq identifies SPGs as a ventral skeletal patterning cue in sea urchins [PDF]
The sea urchin larval skeleton offers a simple model for formation of developmental patterns. The calcium carbonate skeleton is secreted by primary mesenchyme cells (PMCs) in response to largely unknown patterning cues expressed by the ectoderm.

Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia
We report three children with hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED), which includes two sisters with unaffected parents (and therefore likely autosomal recessive inheritance of HED) and an unrelated boy. Each patient presented with hypohidrosis, sparse hair, oligodontia with conical teeth, periorbital hyperpigmentation, eczematous dermatitis, and ...

Odonto-onycho-dermal dysplasia in a patient homozygous for a WNT10A nonsense mutation and mild manifestations of ectodermal dysplasia in carriers of the mutation [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Odonto-onycho-dermal dysplasia (OODD) is a rare form of ectodermal dysplasia characterized by severe oligodontia, onychodysplasia, palmoplantar hyperkeratosis, dry skin, hypotrichosis, and hyperhidrosis of the palms and soles.

Oral Clefts with Associated Anomalies: Findings in the Hungarian Congenital Abnormality Registry [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Over the years, great efforts have been made to record the frequency of orofacial clefts in different populations. However, very few studies were able to account for the etiological and phenotypic heterogeneity of these conditions. Thus, data

Ectodermal Dysplasias Revisited [PDF]
This paper presents a historical view of the development of the concept of ectodermal dysplasia, analyses five current “definitions” of the group, and classifies 52-57 ectodermal dysplasias into subgroups on the basis of criteria developed by the Author.

Implant restoration of hypodontia resulting from ectodermal dysplasia: a case report
Background Ectodermal dysplasia is a congenital genetic disorder with a prevalence of 1:10,000 to 1:100,000. The clinical features of ectodermal dysplasia include sparse hair, missing teeth, and abnormal development of the skin, sweat glands, and other ...

Genome-wide association study of primary tooth eruption identifies pleiotropic loci associated with height and craniofacial distances [PDF]
Twin and family studies indicate that the timing of primary tooth eruption is highly heritable, with estimates typically exceeding 80%. To identify variants involved in primary tooth eruption we performed a population based genome-wide association study ...
