ABSTRACT Aim The aim of this Phase I/II open‐label study was to assess the safety and efficacy of NTI164, a novel full‐spectrum medicinal cannabis plant extract 0.08% Δ‐9‐tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), in Rett syndrome (RTT). Methods Eleven female participants (5–16 years) with a pathogenic variant in the MECP2 gene were recruited to this study, receiving

The Evolving Landscape of CHD Genetics: A Contemporary Guide to Genetic Testing and Management
ABSTRACT Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common birth defect, affecting an estimated 9.4/1000 infants globally. The genetics of CHD is complex, with most cases thought to have multifactorial aetiology, implicating both genetic and environmental factors.

ABSTRACT Objectives Familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) affects 1 in 311 people. Left untreated, it elevates LDL‐cholesterol from early life and drives premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Despite paediatric guidelines for early lipid‐lowering, detection and management in Australia remain suboptimal.

Genetic Susceptibility to Periodontitis
Aim: The aim of this narrative review was to identify genes carrying risk alleles associated with an increased risk of periodontitis and to place them in a biological context. Methods: The literature was reviewed based on predefined criteria. Results: The identified genes largely fall into functions linking immune response with tissue repair. The genes

Periodontal Disease and Salivary Gland Dysfunction in Neurofibromatosis Type 1: A Case–Control Study
ABSTRACT Objectives Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) presents with diverse systemic and oral manifestations. The aim of this study was to investigate the periodontal status and salivary alterations in NF1 individuals. Methods A total of 38 individuals with NF1 diagnostic criteria were compared with a control group paired by age and sex.

AbstractPeriodontitis is a complex inflammatory disease in which the host genome, in conjunction with extrinsic factors, determines susceptibility and progression. Genetic predisposition is the strongest risk factor in the first decades of life. As people age, chronic exposure to the periodontal microbiome puts a strain on the proper maintenance of ...
