Constructed growth charts and nutrition for pontocerebellar hypoplasia type 2A
To our knowledge, we are the first to provide constructed disease‐specific growth charts for PCH2A (age 0–18 years). Constructed growth charts (0–2 years) for height, weight, body mass index, and head circumference are compared in a sex‐disaggregated manner to typically developing children. Failure to thrive is evident despite normal caloric intake and

A Zebra in Horse's Clothing: Rethinking the Diagnosis of Rare Diseases
We analyze rare diseases with common presentations to reexamine genetic testing principles. In proposing criteria that emphasize patient capacity, test utility, and proportional invasiveness, we highlight gaps between guidelines and current practice. Coordinated, patient‐centered approaches are critical to maximize benefits, minimize harms, and inform ...
