Quality of Life of Families Who Have Children With Cornelia de Lange Syndrome in Brazil: Opportunities for Improvement

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This exploratory cross‐sectional study aimed to estimate the family quality of life (FQoL) among 70 Brazilian families with children with Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS). Data were collected using sociodemographic and clinical data forms, the Barthel index for activities of daily living, and the Beach Center FQoL Scale, a 5‐point Likert tool

Addressing the Diagnostic Odyssey for Adults With Neurodevelopmental Disabilities: Case Study of an Individual With Mandibulofacial Dysostosis With Microcephaly

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Whole exome sequencing (WES) has been widely used in the pediatric setting to increase diagnostic yield, provide treatment options, and to estimate reoccurrence risks. However, there is limited knowledge regarding the utility of this technology in adults with neurodevelopmental disabilities.

Diagnostic Yield of Genome Sequencing Versus Exome Sequencing in Pediatric Patients With Rare Phenotypes: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rare diseases affect 6% of Western societies and are a leading cause of pediatric mortality. The popularization of Next Generation Sequencing technologies, especially exome sequencing (ES), revolutionized the diagnosis of children with rare disease. Still, most patients face extensive diagnostic odysseys and remain undiagnosed.
