Unclassified COL6A1 Variant in a Child With Congenital Hypotonia: A Case Report [PDF]
ABSTRACT We report a 3‐year‐old male with congenital hypotonia, proximal contractures, and distal hyperlaxity. Exome sequencing identified a novel homozygous COL6A1 variant (c.2821C>T), classified as a variant of uncertain significance. The distinct phenotype strongly supports Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy, expanding the gene's mutational ...

Ciliary Membrane Lipid Homeostasis in Health and Disease
This review systematically delineates the distinct lipid landscapes of ciliary membranes, including the spatial organization of phosphoinositides, cholesterol, and sphingolipids. It elucidates how these lipids orchestrate ciliogenesis, signal transduction, and membrane dynamics in cilia beating, and highlights how their dysregulation drives ...

Defining Features of Gabriele‐de Vries Syndrome in Adults: A Case Report and Literature Review
ABSTRACT Gabriele‐de Vries syndrome (GADEVS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by heterozygous pathogenic variants in the YY1 gene. Like most rare genetic syndromes, the adult manifestations of GADEVS remain poorly defined. Here, we describe the oldest patient reported to date with GADEVS—a 63‐year‐old woman with a c.1177_1179del YY1 variant ...

ABSTRACT Congenital heart disease (CHD) and dermatologic conditions such as lymphedema and acquired melanocytic nevi (AMN) are common in Turner Syndrome (TS). We hypothesized that abnormalities of cranial neural crest cell derivatives drive the skin and heart manifestations of TS. We conducted joint cardiac and skin examinations of volunteers at a 2023
