Health disparities in chronic liver disease
Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022 Abstract The syndemic of hazardous alcohol consumption, opioid use, and obesity has led to important changes in liver disease epidemiology that have exacerbated health disparities. Health disparities occur when plausibly avoidable health differences are experienced by socially disadvantaged populations.

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Uniparental disomy (UPD) is a rare phenomenon in which both copies of a chromosome are inherited from a single parent. This can lead to genomic imprinting disorders and recessive disorders due to the presence of recessive pathogenic variants in both alleles. Additionally, depending on the mechanisms by which UPD occurs, mosaic aneuploidies may

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Rare diseases affect 6% of Western societies and are a leading cause of pediatric mortality. The popularization of Next Generation Sequencing technologies, especially exome sequencing (ES), revolutionized the diagnosis of children with rare disease. Still, most patients face extensive diagnostic odysseys and remain undiagnosed.

The Expanding Clinical and Genetic Spectrum of Muscle Glycogen Storage Disease 0, (GSD0B)
American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Glycogen storage disorders are a group of genetic disorders affecting glucose homeostasis in the body. Muscular glycogen stores are essential for liberating glucose for energy supply during bursts of activity and sustained muscle work. Muscle glycogen storage disease 0 (GSD0B) is associated with biallelic variants in GYS1 causing muscular ...
