Two Novel ACTC1 Variants Cause Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita

open access: yesClinical Genetics, EarlyView.
We report on two individuals with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita who were heterozygous for ACTC1 missense variants (NM_005159.5; c.325G>A, p.Glu109Lys and c.650A>C, p.Lys217Thr) and provide a characterization of these variants through in vitro studies.

Uncovering the Genetic Landscape of Pediatric Hearing Loss Along the Texas–Mexico Border

open access: yesClinical Genetics, EarlyView.
Project GIVE provided evaluations and genome sequencing to 23 children with hearing loss along the Texas–Mexico border. Seventy percent received a molecular diagnosis and 56% of those diagnosed had changes to medical management. In this region, underdiagnosis of genetic hearing loss is due to care barriers rather than lower genetic burden.

Pathogenicity of NUSAP1 Variants Is Defined by NMD‐Escape: Evidence From Two Novel Cases and Systematic Population‐Based Variant Analysis

open access: yesClinical Genetics, EarlyView.
Heterozygous de novo nonsense variants in the penultimate and last exons of NUSAP1 were identified in two unrelated individuals, predicted to escape NMD. In population data, nonsense variants were observed in exons 1–9 (of 11) in NUSAP1 but were absent from its 3′‐terminal region.

Unravelling the phylogeny of armadillos and their kin (Mammalia, Xenarthra, Cingulata) combining morphological, molecular, and stratigraphic data

open access: yesCladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Cingulata, a major lineage of Xenarthra, comprises extinct and extant armoured placental mammals that diversified throughout the Cenozoic. Despite extensive study, phylogenetic hypotheses based on morphological and molecular data remain incongruent, and no total evidence analysis has been conducted. Here, we integrate the largest morphological
