Identification of Variants in Two Families With Congenital Cataract by Whole Exome Sequencing
We describe likely pathogenic missense variants causing congenital cataract and investigate these variants using high‐throughput gene sequencing, Sanger sequencing, bioinformatics, and computational biology tools. Our findings provide novel insights into the molecular diagnosis of congenital cataract and have important implications for genetic ...

Neighborhood Economic Deprivation, Hispanic Ethnic Enclaves, and Congenital Anomalies in Texas
ABSTRACT Background Congenital anomalies are common, costly, and potentially life‐threatening. The impacts of structural determinants of health on risk for these conditions have scarcely been studied. We evaluated associations between residence in economically disadvantaged neighborhoods or Hispanic/Latino enclaves and congenital anomalies.

When CO2 sensing fails: Protective effects of sex hormones and potential mechanisms
Abstract Breathing movements driven by the brainstem rhythmogenic neural networks rely on chemosensory inputs to produce a motor output that is homeostatically adjusted to the prevailing metabolic demand. The central CO2 chemoreflex is a critical component of respiratory neural circuitry, as defects in these sensors cause hypoventilation syndromes ...

Neuronal subtype composition is comparable between transitional and fully ganglionic zones in children with Hirschsprung disease. Thus, our study did not support a major contribution of shifts in neuronal subtype composition to persistent postoperative bowel dysfunction. ABSTRACT Background Hirschsprung disease (HD) is characterized by aganglionosis of

ABSTRACT Background Hybrid stage I palliation (HS1P) has developed as an alternative to the Norwood stage I palliation for neonates with hypoplastic left heart and related left‐sided obstructive lesions. HS1P is currently used in various clinical settings, such as single ventricle palliation, bridge to decision, bridge to biventricular repair, or ...

Oral and dental status in children with intestinal failure: A descriptive cross‐sectional study
Abstract Background Children with intestinal failure often experience feeding difficulties and complex daily care needs, yet their oral and dental health remains underexplored. We aimed to describe oral and dental health characteristics in pediatric intestinal failure.

Little is known about how patients with anorectal malformations (ARMs), their caregivers and healthcare providers perceive and experience transition from pediatric to adult care (transition of care) in low‐ and middle‐income countries. This study aimed to explore the perceptions and experiences of young adults, adolescents, their caregivers, and ...

The Hirschsprung's-multiple endocrine neoplasia connection
The risk of patients with Hirschsprung's disease later developing multiple endocrine neoplasia remains a matter of concern. The multiple endocrine neoplasia 2-Hirschsprung's disease association has been shown to cosegregate in Hirschsprung's disease ...
