A Forward Genetic Screen in Mice Identifies Mutants with Abnormal Cortical Patterning [PDF]
Formation of a 6-layered cortical plate and axon tract patterning are key features of cerebral cortex development. Abnormalities of these processes may be the underlying cause for a range of functional disabilities seen in human neurodevelopmental ...

Genetic Diagnoses Among Congenital Anomaly Cases in Europe: Data From the EUROCAT Network
ABSTRACT Background Surveillance of congenital anomaly prevalence over time can identify new teratogens. Anomalies with a genetic cause are excluded from the monitoring. Objectives We examined temporal changes in the proportion of genetic diagnoses among cases with a congenital anomaly.

Mortality Patterns and Phenotypic Clusters in Trisomy 13: A Population‐Based Study From Japan
ABSTRACT Trisomy 13, the third most common autosomal trisomy after trisomy 21 and trisomy 18, is associated with a significantly high infant mortality rate. However, large‐scale studies examining causes of death in trisomy 13 remain scarce. Therefore, we aimed to better understand the mortality patterns.

The neonate was born with holoprosencephaly [PDF]
holoprosencephaly is a rare congenital brain malformation resulting from failure of diverticulation and cleavage of primitive prosencephalon which occurs at 4 - 8th week of gestation and is usually associated with multiple midline facial anomalies.

Smooth muscle fascicular reorientation is required for esophageal morphogenesis and dependent on Cdo. [PDF]
Postnatal maturation of esophageal musculature involves proximal-to-distal replacement of smooth muscle with skeletal muscle by elusive mechanisms. We report that this process is impaired in mice lacking the cell surface receptor Cdo and identify the ...

The parcellation of cortical types along the gradient of laminar complexity of the human cerebral cortex provides the basis for a Modern Neurodevelopmental Synthesis. This synthesis integrates ontogeny, phylogeny, gene expression, receptor architecture, cellular features, and synaptic connectivity and aims to guide experimental design for human ...

Chromosomal map of human brain malformations [PDF]
The etiology of most central nervous system (CNS) malformations remains unknown. We have utilized the fact that autosomal chromosome aberrations are commonly associated with CNS malformations to identify new causative gene loci.

Translational genetic modelling of 3D craniofacial dysmorphology: elaborating the facial phenotype of neurodevelopmental disorders through the prism of schizophrenia [PDF]
Purpose of Review: In the context of human developmental conditions, we review the conceptualisation of schizophrenia as a neurodevelopmental disorder, the status of craniofacial dysmorphology as a clinically accessible index of brain ...
