Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023 Microcephaly is characterized as a small head circumference, and is often accompanied by developmental disorders. Several candidate risk genes for this disease have been described, and mutations in non-coding regions are occasionally found in patients ...

PUS7 Deficiency: Phenotypical Expansion of PUS7‐Related Neurodevelopmental Disorders
American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Pathogenic variants in PUS7, encoding pseudouridine synthase 7, cause a rare neurodevelopmental disorder marked by intellectual disability, microcephaly, short stature, and behavioral disturbances. Since the first report in 2018, only 16 patients have been described.

Cerebellar Abnormalities in the Neuroimaging Spectrum of CLTC‐Related Disorder
American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Pathogenic variants in CLTC, which encodes the clathrin heavy chain involved in vesicle‐mediated trafficking in neurons, cause a rare neurodevelopmental disorder associated with variable severity of global developmental delay and intellectual disability and structural brain abnormalities. Although corpus callosum and white matter anomalies are

An Adult Presentation of KIF11‐Related MCLID Syndrome: Case Report and 40‐Year Follow‐Up
American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Pathogenic variants in KIF11 are linked to autosomal dominant syndromes with microcephaly, chorioretinopathy, lymphedema, and intellectual disability (MCLID), though adult presentations remain underreported. We report a 42‐year‐old female presenting with a de novo single‐amino acid in‐frame deletion in the KIF11 gene (c.1294_1296del; p ...

Prenatal Evaluation of RNU4‐2 Variants in Fetuses With Central Nervous System Anomalies
American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Fetal central nervous system (CNS) anomalies are among the most common congenital malformations, yet the overall prenatal diagnostic yield of current genetic testing remains below 40%. Variants in RNU4‐2, a non‐coding gene encoding the U4 small nuclear RNA (snRNA), have recently been linked to a novel highly recurrent dominant ...

From Interferon Signature to the Clinical Landscape: Type I Interferonopathies
Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.Objective TypeI interferonopathies are heterogeneous diseases driven by dysregulated type I interferon (IFN‐I) signaling. Diagnosis is challenging due to clinical/molecular variability and the need for IFN‐I quantification. The aim of this study was to characterize the clinical, immunologic, genetic, molecular profiles of patients with suspected ...

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.Abstract Aim Besides registries, healthcare databases can provide useful information for assessing the frequency of major congenital malformations (MCMs) and investigating their risk factors, particularly medication exposures. This study aimed to assess the validity of MCMs identification based on French national, comprehensive healthcare databases ...
