Functional Characterization of a Novel Intronic Variant in PIEZO2 in a Recessive Form of Distal Arthrogryposis With Impaired Proprioception and Touch (DAIPT)

open access: yesMolecular Genetics &Genomic Medicine, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2025.
DAIPT is a rare genetic disease caused by PIEZO2 gene mutations. We identified two novel variants of the gene, a nonsense and an intronic substitution, in a child with suspected DAIPT. Functional studies confirmed the effect of the nonsense variant and demonstrated the pathogenicity of the intronic one by providing a conclusive diagnosis of DAIPT. This

The effect of surgical repair of the chest on postural stability among patients with pectus excavatum

open access: yesScientific Reports
Pectus excavatum is the most encountered of chest wall deformities. It may produce respiratory and cardiovascular symptoms, hence surgical repair of this defect is performed. The procedure involving the insertion of metal bars under the sternum (the Nuss

Refining patterns of joint hypermobility, habitus, and orthopedic traits in joint hypermobility syndrome and Ehlers–Danlos syndrome, hypermobility type [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Joint hypermobility syndrome (JHS) and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, hypermobility type (EDS-HT) are two overlapping heritable disorders (JHS/EDS-HT) recognized by separated sets of diagnostic criteria and still lack a confirmatory test.

Helical mutations in type I collagen that affect the processing of the amino-propeptide result in an Osteogenesis Imperfecta/Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome overlap syndrome [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Background: Whereas mutations affecting the helical domain of type I procollagen classically cause Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI), helical mutations near the amino (N)-proteinase cleavage site have been suggested to result in a mixed OI/Ehlers-Danlos ...
