Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia: A Case Report with Premature Teeth Exfoliation and Bone Resorption [PDF]
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is an inherited autosomal recessive disorder characterized by insufficient production of cortisol. The aim of this case report was to present a child with CAH, premature exfoliation of primary teeth and accelerated ...

Modern Approaches to the Management of Children with Hypophosphatasia
Hypophosphatasia is rare genetic disease caused by tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase deficiency due to the mutation in the ALPL gene. Disease can manifest in utero, in childhood or in adults depending on its form and severity. This article presents

Proteoliposomes as matrix vesicles' biomimetics to study the initiation of skeletal mineralization [PDF]
During the process of endochondral bone formation, chondrocytes and osteoblasts mineralize their extracellular matrix by promoting the formation of hydroxyapatite (HA) seed crystals in the sheltered interior of membrane-limited matrix vesicles (MVs). Ion

Pathways to enhancing prenatal diagnosis of skeletal dysplasias
Abstract Skeletal dysplasias are a group of Mendelian disorders that variably alter the development of the musculoskeletal system and phenotypically range from mild short stature syndromes to severe perinatal or neonatal morbidity. Prenatal diagnosis of these conditions can be challenging due to the lack of precision with ultrasound imaging compared to

Abstract Background Polyhydramnios, megalencephaly, and symptomatic epilepsy (PMSE) syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive mTORopathy caused by biallelic STE20‐related kinase adaptor alpha (STRADA) loss‐of‐function variants. Animal models demonstrate that in utero mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibition can prevent cortical dyslamination ...

Papillon Lefevre syndrome: bridge between Dermatologist and Dentist [PDF]
Papillon-Lefevre syndrome is a rare autosomal recessively inherited condition which shows features common to both dentistry and dermatology. This disease is characterized by palmoplantar hyperkeratosis and severe periodon- titis.

Using male and female tissue‐nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP) knockout (KO) and wild type (WT) mice, we show TNAP loss impairs growth and sensorimotor function and induces marked microglial morphological changes (enlarged soma, retracted processes).
