ABSTRACT Cystic kidney diseases (CyKD) are a diverse group of disorders affecting more than 1 in 1000 individuals. Over 120 genes are implicated, primarily encoding components of the primary cilium, transcription factors, and morphogens. Prognosis varies greatly by molecular diagnosis. Causal variants are not identified in 10%–60% of individuals due to

ABSTRACT Schinzel‐Giedion Syndrome (SGS) is an ultra‐rare, multisystem, genetic developmental disorder caused by gain‐of‐function pathogenic variants in the SETBP1 gene. No standard of care (SoC) recommendations currently exist. To assess expert opinion on SoC for individuals with SGS using a modified Delphi method.

The human intelligence evolved from proximal cis‐regulatory saltations
Abstract The divergence rate between the alignable genomes of humans and chimpanzees is as little as 1.23%. Their phenotypical difference was hypothesized to be accounted for by gene regulation. We construct the cis‐regulatory element frequency (CREF) matrix to represent the proximal regulatory sequences for each species.

Mortality in Tuberous Sclerosis Complex in the United Kingdom, 2016–2022
ABSTRACT Background Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a genetic condition caused by mutations in either TSC1 or TSC2 genes, affecting around two million people globally. This study aims to examine causes of death in TSC and explore factors contributing to mortality in people with TSC in the United Kingdom in recent years following updated management ...

Abstract Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) of the pancreas is a rare, low‐grade malignant tumor, representing 0.9–2.7% of all exocrine pancreatic tumors. SPN patients generally have a favorable prognosis with a 5‐year survival rate exceeding 95% following complete surgical resection.
