Cohesins: Crossroad Between Cornelia de Lange Spectrum and Cancer Predisposition
American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The cohesin complex plays crucial roles in DNA repair, chromatid separation, and gene transcription regulation. Pathogenic variants in cohesins or dysfunctional transcriptional regulators lead to cohesinopathies, a broader group of disorders including Cornelia de Lange Spectrum (CdLSp), for which the prevalence of cancer cases remains unclear.

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Genitopatellar syndrome (GPS) and Say‐Barber‐Biesecker‐Young‐Simpson Syndrome (SBBYSS) are clinically distinct neurodevelopmental disorders caused by monoallelic pathogenic variants in KAT6B. In some cases, GPS and SBBYSS features can overlap, determining an intermediate phenotype.

Worth the Effort: Lessons for Discovery and Care From an Unusual Case of Gorlin Syndrome
American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Gorlin‐Goltz Syndrome (GGS) is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder encompassing a diverse range of clinical manifestations, including congenital anomalies and predisposition to cancer. Pathogenic variants in PTCH1 and SUFU account for up to 79% and 6% of cases, respectively. Currently, an estimated 15%–27% of individuals with a clinical

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The interstitial 6p microdeletion syndrome is characterized by dysmorphic facies and structural heart, kidney, brain, and musculoskeletal differences. RREB1 haploinsufficiency and consequent abnormal RAS‐MAPK pathway signaling have been proposed as a driver of the disease phenotype; however, apart from a single case report, the phenotype of ...
