Influence of Molecular Genetic Classes on Behavior in Prader‐Willi Syndrome

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A wide range of behavioral phenotypes has been described in PWS patients including autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The prevalence of behavioral disorders was studied in 292 participants over 3 years with genetically confirmed PWS (N = 164 females and N = 128 males) with deletion (N = 182) and mUPD (maternal uniparental disomy) (N = 99).

Pathophysiology of chronic kidney disease-mineral bone disorder (CKD-MBD):from adaptive to maladaptive mineral homeostasis [PDF]

open access: yes
Chronic kidney disease-mineral bone disorder (CKD-MBD) is a multifaceted condition commonly seen in people with reduced kidney function. It involves a range of interconnected issues in mineral metabolism, bone health and cardiovascular calcification ...

A Novel Splice Variant in ERGIC1 Causes Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita—Characterization Using Urine‐Derived Cells

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC) is defined as the presence of joint contractures affecting at least two body regions at birth. Three different ERGIC1 variants have been reported in individuals with AMC. Here, we report on a 16‐year‐old male with a homozygous ERGIC1 c.250+1G>A variant that was classified as a variant of uncertain ...

Bone mineral loss damages renal tubules in mice

open access: yesCommunications Biology
Fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23) is a bone-derived hormone that promotes urinary phosphate excretion in response to phosphate loading. While essential for phosphate homeostasis, elevated FGF23 increases phosphate concentration in the renal tubular ...

Methacrylated Gelatin and Graphene Oxide Hybrid Hydrogels Composed‐Bioinks for 3D Tissue Engineering

open access: yesAdvanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Bioinks made from hydrogels, such as methacrylated gelatin (GelMA), serve as the base material for bioprinted tissues, offering versatility and biocompatibility for a range of applications. Additional components however are still needed to improve functionality and mechanical stability of hydrogels. One of these components is graphene oxide (GO), added

Serum TRACP-5b as a Marker for Bone Turnover in Chronic Kidney Disease: Correlation with Mineral-Bone Disorder Markers

open access: yesJK Science
Background: Chronic Kidney Disease-Mineral and Bone Disorder (CKD-MBD) leads to progressive alterations in bone turnover and mineral metabolism. Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (TRACP-5b) is a promising biomarker for bone resorption, potentially ...

Rethinking brachycephaly: Anatomical implications and health considerations in lagomorphs

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Brachycephaly in domestic rabbits is increasingly perceived by welfare organizations as associated with significant health complications, particularly oral pathologies. Despite this perception, comparative anatomical research into rabbit brachycephaly is limited compared to that of dogs and cats, compelling an in‐depth examination of its ...

Effects of oropharyngeal neuromuscular stimulation on the volumetric enlarged and reduced tongue base in minipigs

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Hypoglossal nerve or tongue protruding muscle stimulation is a current treatment option for obstructive sleep apnea. Thus, the present study analyzed 3D deformations of the volumetric enlarged and reduced tongue base upon oropharyngeal neuromuscular stimulation.

Biomechanical strain patterns in Meckel's cartilage underlie mandibular variation in FGFR2 mouse models

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Sequence variations in fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) are associated with craniosynostosis syndromes, disrupting craniofacial development, yet early mandibular alterations remain poorly characterized. This study examined Meckel's cartilage (MC) and mandibular morphology in mouse models of Apert (Fgfr2+/P253R) and Crouzon ...
