A Pilot Study to Evaluate Neurodevelopmental Outcomes in a Pediatric Cohort With Genodermatoses
ABSTRACT Our study aimed to evaluate cognitive function in individuals with genetic skin disorders involving neuroectoderm (n = 8) compared to individuals with only ectoderm or mesoderm (n = 16) involvement. We hypothesized that neuroectodermal involvement would result in poorer neurocognitive performance.

Linkage disequilibrium mapping of the gene for Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome to chromosome 10q23. 1-q23.3 [PDF]
Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome (HPS) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by the triad of tyrosinase-positive oculocutaneous albinism, bleeding diathesis due to storage-pool deficiency of platelets, and a lysosomal ceroid storage disease.

Diagnosis of Inherited Metabolic Disease in Older Patients: A Systematic Literature Review
ABSTRACT Inherited metabolic diseases (IMDs) are genetic disorders that disrupt biochemical processes in the human body, due to pathogenic variants in genes encoding enzymes or transporters. While IMDs are mostly diagnosed in infancy or childhood, there is an increasing number of diagnoses in adult patients.

ABSTRACT Rationale Genetic testing has significantly improved the diagnosis of childhood interstitial lung diseases (chILD), which have long challenged clinicians due to their heterogeneity and poor characterization. It is now imperative to study variants of unknown significance (VUS) to identify pathogenic mutations to optimize diagnosis and screening

Matrix metalloproteinase activity in the lung is increased in Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome
Background Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome (HPS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by oculocutaneous albinism and platelet dysfunction and can sometimes lead to a highly aggressive form of pulmonary fibrosis that mimics the fatal lung ...

Loss of strumpellin in the melanocytic lineage impairs the WASH Complex but does not affect coat colour [PDF]
The five-subunit WASH complex generates actin networks that participate in endocytic trafficking, migration and invasion in various cell types. Loss of one of the two subunits WASH or strumpellin in mice is lethal, but little is known about their role in
