A Population‐Based Study of Limb Body Wall Complex With Proposed Features for Prenatal Diagnosis
American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Limb body wall complex (LBWC) is a lethal condition comprising major congenital anomalies. Although currently diagnosed in the early prenatal period, historical diagnostic criteria are based on detailed pathological assessments. Prenatal and postnatal findings of LBWC and their phenotypic overlap with body stalk anomaly (BSA) and recurrent ...

AP2M1 Is a Candidate Gene for Microcephaly and Intellectual Disability in 3q27.1 Deletions
American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Deletions of the 3q26.33q27.2 region appear to correlate with a distinct phenotype, although there are few reported cases. Here, we present seven previously unreported individuals carrying de novo 3q27 deletions (under 5 Mb), which include the AP2M1 (adaptor‐related protein complex 2, mu‐1 subunit) gene and summarize data from 12 previously ...

Co-occurring hydrocephalus in autism spectrum disorder: a Danish population-based cohort study
Journal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders, 2021 Background The association between autism spectrum disorder and hydrocephalus is not well understood, despite demonstrated links between autism spectrum disorder and cerebrospinal fluid abnormalities. Based on the hypothesis that autism spectrum disorder

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Neuroaxonal dystrophy (NAD) with osteopetrosis syndrome (OMIM # 600329) was first reported in a consanguineous Moroccan Jewish family. However, to date, no genetic variant has been linked to this disease. We report on sibs, born to consanguineous Pakistani parents identified prenatally with cerebral ventriculomegaly and agenesis of the corpus ...

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Keratosis–ichthyosis–deafness (KID) syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant ectodermal disease caused by mutations in the GJB2 gene, which encodes the gap junction protein Connexin 26 (Cx26) located on Chr. 13q12.11. This study presents the first mortality analysis associated with KID syndrome, focusing on a case report of a Latin American ...

Speech and Language Disorders Associated With 7q31 Deletions Implicating FOXP2
American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Some 7q31 deletions encompass FOXP2, a gene long associated with speech and language disorders. Intragenic pathogenic FOXP2 variants cause FOXP2‐related speech and language disorder, which has been well characterized in the literature. Conversely, the phenotype associated with 7q31 deletions is neglected.

Hydrocephalus associated with occipital encephalocele: surgical management and clinical outcome
Egyptian Journal of Neurosurgery, 2021 Background Encephaloceles are cystic congenital malformations in which central nervous system (CNS) structures, in communication with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pathways, herniate through a defect in the cranium. Hydrocephalus occurs in 60–90% of patients

Trisomy 5p: Long Recognized, Rarely Published‐ Three New Cases and Review of the Literature
American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Complete trisomy 5p is a rare chromosomal disorder caused by a duplication of the short arm of chromosome 5. Current data suggest that complete trisomy 5p presents as a distinct clinical syndrome including but not limited to seizures, developmental delays, facial dysmorphisms, failure to thrive, and recurrent respiratory infections.
