Differential Diagnosis of Mucopolysaccharidoses Types I, II, III, IVA, and VI Through Analysis of Leukocytic Inclusions

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) are lysosomal storage disorders characterized by the accumulation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), which can lead to cytoplasmic alterations in leukocytes. The objective of this study was to characterize leukocyte inclusions in patients with different types of MPS and assess their diagnostic relevance.

Reframing Trisomy 13 and 18 Care: Moving Beyond the Myth of “Incompatibility With Life” in a South African and Low‐and Middle‐Income Country Context

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Trisomy 13 (T13) and trisomy 18 (T18) have historically been described as “lethal” or “incompatible with life,” contributing to diagnosis‐based limitations of care. Contemporary evidence demonstrates greater heterogeneity in survival and outcomes than previously recognized, including among selected children receiving intensive care or cardiac ...

A Novel Homozygous Nonsense Variant in DCHS1 in a Brazilian Patient With Van Maldergem Syndrome Type 1: Clinical Report and Literature Review

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Van Maldergem syndrome (VMLDS) is an ultra‐rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by craniofacial dysmorphism, intellectual disability, hypotonia, skeletal anomalies, and feeding difficulties. It is caused by biallelic variants in DCHS1 or FAT4 genes.

Influence of Molecular Genetic Classes on Behavior in Prader‐Willi Syndrome

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A wide range of behavioral phenotypes has been described in PWS patients including autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The prevalence of behavioral disorders was studied in 292 participants over 3 years with genetically confirmed PWS (N = 164 females and N = 128 males) with deletion (N = 182) and mUPD (maternal uniparental disomy) (N = 99).

Extending the ATP9A‐Related Phenotypic Spectrum: Indication of Schizophrenia Susceptibility

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT ATP9A, which belongs to the P4‐ATPase family of proteins, is involved in the efficient transport of vesicles from the Golgi apparatus to the plasma membrane, as well as the release of extracellular vesicles from human cells. In 2021, a loss‐of‐function variant of this gene was identified as being associated with a recessive neurodevelopmental ...

A rhesus macaque model of α‐dystroglycanopathy caused by a POMT1 splice altering variant

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Rhesus macaques homozygous for a naturally occurring spice altering variant in the POMT1 gene develop lissencephaly, microphthalmia, and muscular contracture. The presentation models severe presentation of the human Walker‐Warburg syndrome. Abstract Background Biallelic mutations in genes associated with α‐dystroglycan glycosylation manifest in a ...

The mechanism of labor in nonhuman primates: A look inside

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract While in humans, the flexed position of the fetus and its rotating course down the birth canal are well documented, in other primates the mechanism of labor is unknown. Despite the lack of comparative data, it is commonly assumed that the human obstetric mechanism is unique, and anthropologists have disputed when and why the transition to the ...
