Bounding bias due to selection

, 2019
When epidemiologic studies are conducted in a subset of the population, selection bias can threaten the validity of causal inference. This bias can occur whether or not that selected population is the target population, and can occur even in the absence ...

Deciphering the Impact of RAC1‐SPTAN1 in ARPKD Cystogenesis Using Multifaceted Models

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Distal/connecting tubules expressing SLC8A1 have been suggested as a potential origin of ARPKD cysts. SPTAN1 has been identified as a key molecule in ARPKD cyst formation. Restoring SPTAN1 in PKHD1−/− organoids reduced cyst formation, normalized calcium levels, and decreased RAC1/c‐FOS expression, highlighting SPTAN1's role in ARPKD and the potential ...

Machine Learning‐Assisted Infectious Disease Detection in Low‐Income Areas: Toward Rapid Triage of Dengue and Zika Virus Using Open‐Source Hardware

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
This study introduces an affordable machine learning platform for simultaneous dengue and zika detection using fluorine‐doped tin oxide thin films modified with gold nanoparticles and DNA aptamers. Designed for low‐cost, hardware‐limited devices (< $25), the model achieves 95.3% accuracy and uses only 9.4 kB of RAM, demonstrating viability for resource‐

The human Cranio Facial Development Protein 1 (Cfdp1) gene encodes a protein required for the maintenance of higher-order chromatin organization [PDF]

, 2017
The human Cranio Facial Development Protein 1 (Cfdp1) gene maps to chromosome 16q22.2-q22.3 and encodes the CFDP1 protein, which belongs to the evolutionarily conserved Bucentaur (BCNT) family.

Swallowing and Communication in Cockayne Syndrome: Clinical Characteristics and Management

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cockayne syndrome (CS) is an ultrarare genetic disorder associated with genes encoding proteins involved in DNA repair. The clinical course of CS involves neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative features, including swallowing and communication impairments.

Meier–Gorlin syndrome and Wolf–Hirschhorn syndrome: two developmental disorders highlighting the importance of efficient DNA replication for normal development and neurogenesis [PDF]

, 2013
Microcephaly represents one of the most obvious clinical manifestations of impaired neurogenesis. Defects in the DNA damage response, in DNA repair, and structural abnormalities in centrosomes, centrioles and the spindle microtubule network have all been

Gastrointestinal Manifestations in Rubinstein‐Taybi Syndrome

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rubinstein–Taybi syndrome is a rare genetic condition associated with a wide range of physical, cognitive, and developmental impairments, yet its gastrointestinal manifestations remain poorly characterized. Case reports and small series suggest a high prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux, constipation, dysphagia, and nutritional compromise ...

First Korean Case of 5q35.2q35.3 Microduplication With Reversed Sotos Syndrome Phenotype and Growth Hormone Deficiency: Expanding the Endocrine Spectrum

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sotos syndrome is an overgrowth disorder caused by nuclear receptor binding SET domain protein 1 (NSD1) haploinsufficiency, whereas reciprocal 5q35.2q35.3 microduplication produces a reversed phenotype with growth retardation, microcephaly, delayed bone age, and neurodevelopmental delay.
