Genetic Diagnosis of Oculocutaneous Albinism Type 1A: A Novel TYR Variant

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Oculocutaneous albinism type IA (OCA1A) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by variants in the TYR gene, resulting in complete loss of tyrosinase activity and absence of melanin production. In this study, we report a novel missense variant, TYR (NM_000372.5):c.143A>C (p.Gln48Pro), found within exon 1 and mapped to chr11: g.89178096A ...

A Pilot Study to Evaluate Neurodevelopmental Outcomes in a Pediatric Cohort With Genodermatoses

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 197, Issue 7, July 2025.
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.
