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

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
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.

Detecting the Difficult: An Intronic NPC1 Variant Hiding in Plain Sight

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT An illustration of the importance of manual data review for identifying rare intronic variants adjacent to homopolymers is presented here. A 14‐year‐old male with Niemann‐Pick Type C disease confirmed biochemically was only found to have a heterozygous pathogenic variant by molecular analysis. A manual review of the Next Generation Sequencing (

Nanopore Sequencing Solves an Elusive Case of Sotos Syndrome

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sotos syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by distinctive facial features, including a broad and prominent forehead, dolichocephaly, and learning disabilities ranging from mild to severe intellectual impairment. Affected individuals often show overgrowth in height and head circumference over two standard deviations.

Expanding the Tyrosine Kinase Domain of CSF1R? A Case Report From an Adult‐Onset Leukoencephalopathy

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Adult‐onset leukoencephalopathy with axonal spheroids and pigmented glia (ALSP), also termed hereditary diffuse leukoencephalopathy with spheroids‐1 (HDLS1), results from mutations in the CSF1R gene and leads to progressive leukoencephalopathy.

Truncating Variants in RREB1 Cause a Novel RASopathy Syndrome of Congenital Heart Disease, Genitourinary Malformations, and Developmental Delay

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The interstitial 6p microdeletion syndrome is characterized by dysmorphic facies and structural heart, kidney, brain, and musculoskeletal differences. RREB1 haploinsufficiency and consequent abnormal RAS‐MAPK pathway signaling have been proposed as a driver of the disease phenotype; however, apart from a single case report, the phenotype of ...

Association Between Polygenic Risk and Symptom Severity Change After Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Obsessive‐Compulsive Disorder

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A large proportion of patients undergoing cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) for obsessive‐compulsive disorder (OCD) do not respond sufficiently to treatment. Identifying predictors for change in symptom severity after treatment could inform clinical decision‐making, allow for better‐tailored interventions, and avoid treatment failure.

Premenopausal bilateral oophorectomy and Alzheimer's disease imaging biomarkers later in life

Alzheimer's &Dementia, EarlyView.
Abstract INTRODUCTION Premenopausal bilateral oophorectomy (PBO) before the age of 46 years is associated with an increased risk of dementia. We investigated the long‐term effects of PBO performed before age 50 years on amyloid beta (Aβ), tau, and neurodegeneration imaging biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease (AD).
