Abstract Purpose Proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) is one of the leading causes of blindness in working‐age adults. We have previously shown that the risk of PDR is significantly elevated in individuals with intrauterine exposure to famine. However, the genetic mechanisms mediating this association remain unknown.

Lithic analysis in African archaeology: Advances and key themes
Abstract Stone artifacts (lithics) preserve for extended periods; thus they are key evidence for probing the evolution of human technological behaviors. Africa boasts the oldest record of stone artifacts, spanning 3.3 Ma, rare instances of ethnographic stone tool‐making, and stone tool archives from diverse ecological settings, making it an anchor for ...

Pubertal Dynamics of Sertoli and Leydig Cell Dysfunction in Klinefelter Syndrome
ABSTRACT Context Klinefelter syndrome (KS), defined by a 47, XXY karyotype, is commonly associated with progressive testicular failure. The precise timing of Sertoli and Leydig cell dysfunction during puberty remains unclear. Objective To determine the onset and progression of testicular insufficiency during puberty in KS, and to assess whether ...

ABSTRACT Background Brain MRI is widely performed in children with short stature or suspected growth hormone deficiency(GHD) to exclude hypothalamic–pituitary (HP) pathology, yet its diagnostic yield in routine practice is uncertain. We aimed to evaluate the prevalence, clinical significance, and distribution of HP and extrahypothalamic abnormalities ...

A New Case of Lethal Congenital Contracture Syndrome Type 3 With Hyperinsulinism and Optic Atrophy
PIP5K1C‐related lethal congenital contracture syndrome with hyperinsulinism and optic atrophy. ABSTRACT Lethal congenital contracture syndrome 3 (LCCS3, MIM #611369) is a rare autosomal recessive neuromuscular disorder caused by biallelic loss‐of‐function (LOF) variants in PIP5K1C, reported in only two families to date.

Pathogenic IGF2 variants on the paternal allele can cause Silver–Russell syndrome, with highly variable growth and neurodevelopmental outcomes. Long‐read sequencing can determine the parental origin of de novo IGF2 variants via methylation patterns without parental samples, improving diagnostics for imprinted genes.
