Cancer Risk in Marfan Syndrome: A Swedish Population‐Based Cohort Study

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 159, Issue 7, Page 1707-1714, 1 October 2026.
The cancer risk in Marfan syndrome, an autosomal dominant connective tissue disorder, largely remains to be explored. In this population‐based matched cohort study of 1544 Swedish patients, the overall cancer risk in adults with Marfan syndrome showed no significant increase, except for the risk of endocrine tumours with a nearly threefold increase ...

Clinical and Genetic Profile of One Molecularly Confirmed and One Clinically Suspected Case of LZTR1 ‐Related Noonan Syndrome

Clinical Genetics, Volume 110, Issue 4, Page 502-507, October 2026.
This study illustrates the phenotypic variability of LZTR1‐related Noonan syndrome type 10 in two pediatric patients, including presentations without congenital heart defects. The findings emphasize the importance of whole‐exome sequencing and longitudinal re‐evaluation of variants of uncertain significance in achieving accurate diagnosis.

Improvement of cardiopulmonary function after minimally invasive surgical repair of pectus excavatum (Nuss procedure) in children

Annals of Pediatric Cardiology, 2019
Background: Severe pectus excavatum in children may result in cardiorespiratory functional impairment; therefore, we evaluated cardiopulmonary response to exercise before and after the Nuss procedure.

A 12‐Year‐Old Child With a Sunken Sternum and Progressive Muscle Weakness: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT A 12‐year‐old girl with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy and severe pectus excavatum presented with progressive dyspnea and restrictive ventilatory impairment. She underwent successful Nuss repair with uneventful recovery. At 6‐month follow‐up, chest contour and pulmonary function improved, suggesting that surgical correction is feasible

Evaluating Cardiac Lateralization by MRI to Simplify Estimation of Cardiopulmonary Impairment in Pectus Excavatum

Diagnostics, 2023
Background: The severity of pectus excavatum is classified by the Haller Index (HI) and/or Correction Index (CI). These indices measure only the depth of the defect and, therefore, impede a precise estimation of the actual cardiopulmonary impairment.

Clinical Variability and Genotype‐Driven Outcomes in CHRND‐Related Congenital Myasthenic Syndrome

European Journal of Neurology, Volume 33, Issue 9, September 2026.
Clinical variability in CHRND‐related congenital myasthenic syndrome ranges from isolated ocular involvement to severe neonatal‐onset disease with respiratory insufficiency. In a multicenter cohort of nine patients, ocular symptoms represented the core phenotype, while disease severity was influenced by genotype and presumed residual acetylcholine ...
