A Collaborative Approach to Pediatric Genetic Evaluation in the Era of Genomic Medicine
ABSTRACT To address the increased demand for genetic services and shortage of medical geneticists (MG), a collaborative pilot program was developed with a two‐part approach to care: (1) Initial genetic counselor (GC) appointment with exome sequencing (ES) and (2) follow‐up MG evaluation.

ABSTRACT Costello syndrome (CS) is a rare dominant HRAS RASopathy characterized by curly hair, cardiac abnormalities, craniofacial anomalies, and developmental delay. HRAS codon 58, 59, and 60 variants are associated with milder phenotypes. We describe a three‐generation family with a previously unreported heterozygous HRAS variant c.175G>A (p.Ala59Thr)

A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of the Birth Prevalence of Turner Syndrome
ABSTRACT Turner syndrome, a chromosomal disorder, causes short stature, pubertal arrest, amenorrhea, and infertility in females. Prevalence estimates vary widely; however, reliable estimates are important for public health initiatives. Therefore, a meta‐analysis was undertaken.

De Novo Heterozygous ZFX Frameshift Variant in a Female With an X‐Linked Neurodevelopmental Disorder
ABSTRACT Germline ZFX variants are associated with an X‐linked neurodevelopmental disorder, with 14 males and 16 females reported to date. We describe a 20‐year‐old female with a heterozygous ZFX frameshift variant, p.(Met666Valfs*2), identified by genome sequencing, previously reported in an affected male.

A Novel Missense Variant in LMX1A Leads to Autosomal Dominant Nonsyndromic Hearing Loss
ABSTRACT Hereditary nonsyndromic hearing loss (NSHL) is a prevalent entity associated with over 150 known causative genes, including LMX1A, which has fewer than 10 reported pathogenic variants. Here we present a novel missense variant in LMX1A in a family of European descent with hereditary hearing loss. Clinical and family histories were obtained, and
