Elucidating the Molecular Landscape of Cystic Kidney Disease: Old Friends, New Friends and Some Surprises

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cystic kidney diseases (CyKD) are a diverse group of disorders affecting more than 1 in 1000 individuals. Over 120 genes are implicated, primarily encoding components of the primary cilium, transcription factors, and morphogens. Prognosis varies greatly by molecular diagnosis. Causal variants are not identified in 10%–60% of individuals due to

Detecting the Difficult: An Intronic NPC1 Variant Hiding in Plain Sight

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT An illustration of the importance of manual data review for identifying rare intronic variants adjacent to homopolymers is presented here. A 14‐year‐old male with Niemann‐Pick Type C disease confirmed biochemically was only found to have a heterozygous pathogenic variant by molecular analysis. A manual review of the Next Generation Sequencing (

Children With 22.Q.11.2 Deletion Syndrome: Sleep‐Disordered Breathing and Management

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Patients with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11DS) are predisposed to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) due to an abnormal craniofacial anatomy with pharyngeal hypotonia, retrognathia, micrognathia, and glossoptosis. The aim of the study was to describe the prevalence and management of OSA in a cohort of children with 22q11DS.

A companion to the preclinical common data elements for rodent models of pediatric acquired epilepsy: A report of the TASK3‐WG1B, Pediatric and Genetic Models Working Group of the ILAE/AES Joint Translational Task Force

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Epilepsy syndromes during the early years of life may be attributed to an acquired insult, such as hypoxic–ischemic injury, infection, status epilepticus, or brain trauma. These conditions are frequently modeled in experimental rodents to delineate mechanisms of epileptogenesis and investigate novel therapeutic strategies.
