Growth Standards for Children With Smith–Magenis Syndrome (SMS)

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Smith–Magenis syndrome (SMS, OMIM 182290) is a complex syndromic diagnosis marked by neurobehavioral differences and distinct facial dysmorphisms, caused by haploinsufficiency of the retinoic acid‐1 (RAI1) gene either by a pathogenic sequence variant or deletion at chromosome 17p11.2 involving a portion or all of this gene.

Challenges in Genomic Variant Interpretation Within Pakistani Populations due to Genomic Healthcare Inequalities

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Accurate classification of genomic variants is crucial to ensure correct diagnosis, genetic counseling, and clinical management of monogenic inherited disorders. Variant interpretation can be hindered in populations that are significantly underrepresented in large reference genomic databases, leading to genomic healthcare inequalities. Despite

Assessing Pubertal Timing, Duration, and Related Characteristics in ASXL‐Related Disorders: A Cross‐Sectional Caregiver Survey Analysis

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Limited studies have been conducted on pubertal development in populations with pre‐existing medical conditions. More than 20‐fold increased risk of early puberty has been reported in neurodevelopmental disorders; however, this is a heterogeneous group.

Pre-pregnancy obesity and non-adherence to multivitamin use: findings from the National Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (2009–2011) [PDF]

, 2016
Background Although adequate folic acid or multivitamins can prevent up to 70 % of neural tube defects, the majority of U.S. non-pregnant women of childbearing age do not use multivitamins every day.

Basal Metabolic Requirements, Biomarkers of Cardiometabolic Health, and Anthropometric Measures of Obesity in Women and Men With Restricted Growth Conditions

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Population‐specific thresholds have not been defined for the levels of adiposity and systemic biomarkers that predict chronic health risks in people with restricted growth conditions. Here, anthropometric measures of adiposity, basal metabolic requirements, and fasted blood samples were obtained from adults with restricted growth (age 41 ± 14 ...

The HRAS Variant c.175G>A (p.Ala59Thr) Causes a Predominantly Ectodermal Phenotype Lacking Classic Costello Syndrome Features

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
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)

Non‐RASopathy Genetic Syndromes Identified as the Molecular Cause of Disease in Patients Previously Diagnosed With Noonan Syndrome

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Noonan Syndrome (NS) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous condition characterized by typical facial dysmorphisms, short stature, congenital heart defects, and developmental delays. While variants in genes such as PTPN11, SOS1, and RAF1 account for most genetically confirmed cases, diagnosis is challenging due to phenotypic overlap ...
