Detection of the Heterozygous Recurrent MAX p.(Arg60Gln) Variant in Two Females Confirms and Expands the Phenotypic Spectrum of Polydactyly–Macrocephaly Syndrome

Clinical Genetics, EarlyView.
We identified a recurrent heterozygous MAX c.179G>A:p.Arg60Gln variant in two unrelated females affected with the emerging phenotypes of MAX‐associated polydactyly‐macrocephaly syndrome. We propose that genitourinary abnormalities, including Mayer–Rokitanski–Kuster–Hauser syndrome in one individual, are an expansion of the known phenotypes associated ...

A guide to the types, structures, and multifaceted functions of matrix metalloproteinases in cancer

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) orchestrate cancer progression and metastasis through proteolytic and non‐proteolytic actions. By remodeling the tumor microenvironment, enhancing growth factor availability, and modulating cell behavior, MMPs promote proliferation, migration or invasion, and epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition. Alongside extracellular
