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 ...

CDG due to Defective Membrane Transporters: Update
ABSTRACT Congenital disorders of glycosylation are genetic defects in the glycoprotein and glycolipid glycan assembly and attachment. Some 200 CDG have been reported since the first clinical description in 1980. Most CDG are enzymatic deficiencies, but 13 (6.5%) are defects in the ER, Golgi apparatus (GA), and plasma membrane transporters.

Poland Anomaly and Atretic Cephalocele in the Same Child: Coincidence or Association?
ABSTRACT Poland Anomaly is a rare congenital disorder typically characterized by hypoplasia or agenesis of pectoral muscle with or without ipsilateral limb hypoplasia. The association of central nervous system malformation with Poland Anomaly has been rarely reported and includes craniofacial dysplasia, microcephaly, and Dandy‐Walker malformation ...

Abstract Objectives Needle decompression is a lifesaving procedure; however, the success rate may be limited. Chest wall thickness (CWT) is an important factor related to the success rate. This study aimed to identify the optimal anatomical site for needle decompression by comparing CWT and predicted risk of vital organ injury across three locations. A

The proposed updated classification of humeroradial synostosis is based on the molecular pathways of the genes involved: (1) chondrogenesis and osteogenesis; (2) limb development and patterning; (3) genome regulation. Thus, pathologies belonging to the same molecular type may have overlapping clinical phenotypes, helping to structure the diagnostic ...

ABSTRACT Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) are a heterogeneous group of inherited metabolic diseases (IMD) characterized by defects in the synthesis and modification of glycoproteins and glycolipids. One of these disorders is ATP6AP1‐CDG, a rare X‐linked disease with approximately 30 cases reported so far. Symptoms associated with ATP6AP1‐CDG

Early‐onset Marfan syndrome (eoMFS) is a rare disorder with atrioventricular valve insufficiency being the most severe symptom. We propose to regard eoMFS as a spectrum, ranging from a severe disorder life‐threatening already before or immediately after birth, to a disorder with a better survival rate, creating a window for atrioventricular valve ...

Minimally invasive repair of the severe pectus excavatum in an infant
Pectus excavatum is the most common congenital chest wall abnormality. Nuss et al., in 1998 described minimally invasive repair of pectus excavatum and this procedure is now the procedure of choice in many institutions for the surgical repair of pectus ...
