FITM2‐Related Siddiqi Syndrome in Two Iranian Siblings
ABSTRACT We report the first two Iranian siblings with Siddiqi syndrome, carrying a novel likely pathogenic FITM2 variant. Both presented with hallmark features, including early‐onset sensorineural hearing loss, severe generalized dystonia, growth failure, and ichthyosis of the lower limbs, expanding the geographic and genetic spectrum of this rare ...

ABSTRACT Cerebral folate deficiency (CFD) is characterized by reduced levels of folate, particularly 5‐methyltetrahydrofolate (5‐MTHF), in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). This case report describes a 10‐year‐old girl diagnosed with CFD due to a pathogenic mutation in the FOLR1 gene, which impairs folate transport across the blood–brain barrier.

A head start: The relationship of placental factors to craniofacial and brain development
Abstract In recent years, the importance of placental function for fetal neurodevelopment has become increasingly studied. This field, known as neuroplacentology, has greatly expanded possible etiologies of neurodevelopmental disorders by exploring the influence of placental function on brain development.

This study found that riverside populations of Adenophora triphylla have genetically fixed morphological traits—such as narrower leaves and thicker, shorter petioles and stems—that help resist water flow stress. These traits were maintained even under cultivation, suggesting adaptive evolution rather than mere plasticity.
