A Population‐Based Assessment of Cancer Risk in Children With VACTERL

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cancer risk in children with VACTERL, a nonrandom co‐occurrence of ≥ 3 defects (vertebral, anal, cardiac, tracheoesophogeal fistula, renal, and limb), remains unclear. We evaluated this association in a population‐based study. We analyzed data from the Genetic Overlap Between Anomalies and Cancer in Kids (GOBACK) Study, a US registry linkage ...

The First Reported Case of an Inherited Pathogenic Variant in DEAF1 From a Parent With Milder Phenotype Provides Evidence of Variable Gene Expressivity of the DEAF1‐Associated Vulto‐van Silfout‐de Vries Syndrome (VSVS)

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT DEAF1‐associated neurodevelopmental disorder (DAND) is a neurodevelopmental spectrum disorder caused by two methods of inheritance: the autosomal dominant intellectual disability syndrome (Vulto‐van Silfout‐de Vries syndrome (VSVS), OMIM #615828), and the autosomal recessive Neurodevelopmental disorder with hypotonia and impaired expressive ...

Genome Sequencing in 19 Families With Bladder Exstrophy and Epispadias Complex Indicates Involvement of the ADGR‐Gene Family

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bladder exstrophy and epispadias complex (BEEC) is one of the most severe congenital malformations of the urogenital tract, significantly impacting continence, sexual function, and renal function. To date, the only recurrent genetic aberration identified is the 22q.11.2 microduplication, but several candidate regions and genes including ...

Facilitating Genetic Testing for Perinatal Demise: Development of a Multidisciplinary Workflow

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Genetic contributors to perinatal demise are common but frequently undiagnosed due to clinical and logistical barriers. We aimed to improve access to genetic for intrauterine fetal demise (IUFD), stillbirth, and early neonatal death by developing a multidisciplinary workflow.
