An overview of current prenatal genetic screening and diagnosis guidelines
Abstract The landscape of prenatal genetics continues to evolve rapidly, with improvements in processing speed and technology. Clinicians are tasked with staying current with the latest recommendations for prenatal genetic screening and diagnosis in order to provide patient‐centered and evidence‐based care. We present a review of 15 societal guidelines

A case report of Joubert syndrome with renal involvement and seizures in a neonate
Joubert Syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder characterized by a distinctive midbrain-hindbrain malformation that gives the appearance of “the molar tooth sign” on axial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Methods to Assess Neuronal Primary Cilia Electrochemical Signaling
Hippocampal neuron primary cilia are illuminated with a fluorescent biosensor. ABSTRACT Primary cilia are polymodal sensory organelles which project from the apical side of polarized cells. They are found in all brain hemispheres but are most pronounced in neurons, which comprise the granular layers of the hippocampus and cerebellum.

Fetal Corpus Callosum Anomalies
Anomalies of the corpus callosum (CC) are amongst the most common fetal Central Nervous System (CNS) anomalies detectable on ultrasound. Underlying genetic disease plays an important part in defining prognosis. Associations with aneuploidy and submicroscopic chromosomal deletions or duplications have been well demonstrated using chromosomal microarray ...

UFMylation Modulates OFIP Stability and Centrosomal Localization
We demonstrate that OFIP is a novel substrate for UFMylation. UFL1‐mediated OFIP UFMylation is essential for its protein stability and centrosomal localization. ABSTRACT Background OFIP, also known as KIAA0753, is a centrosomal and pericentriolar satellite protein implicated in ciliogenesis, centriolar duplication, and microtubule stability. In humans,

Phosphoinositide Metabolism: Biochemistry, Physiology and Genetic Disorders
ABSTRACT Phosphatidylinositol, a glycerophospholipid with a myo‐inositol head group, can form seven different phosphoinositides (PItds) by phosphorylation at inositol carbons 3, 4 and/or 5. Over 50 kinases and phosphatases participate in PItd metabolism, creating an interconnected PItd network that allows for precise temporal and spatial regulation of ...

Fifteen years of research on oral–facial–digital syndromes: from 1 to 16 causal genes [PDF]
Oral–facial–digital syndromes (OFDS) gather rare genetic disorders characterised by facial, oral and digital abnormalities associated with a wide range of additional features (polycystic kidney disease, cerebral malformations and several others) to ...
