Abstract Objectives High protein parenteral nutrition (HPPN) in the early postnatal period is a recommended strategy for very low birth weight (VLBW) infants. However, limited data is available on electrolyte changes when HPPN strategy is utilized. We investigated the impact of HPPN on the development of hypophosphatemia and hypokalemia in preterm VLBW

De novoframeshift mutation in ASXL3 in a patient with global developmental delay, microcephaly, and craniofacial anomalies [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Currently, diagnosis of affected individuals with rare genetic disorders can be lengthy and costly, resulting in a diagnostic odyssey and in many patients a definitive molecular diagnosis is never achieved despite extensive clinical ...

Saethre‐Chotzen syndrome (SCS) is one of the most prevalent craniosynostosis, caused by a loss‐of‐function mutation in the TWIST-1 gene, with current treatment options relying on major invasive transcranial surgery. TWIST-1 haploinsufficient osteogenic progenitor cells exhibit increased osteogenic differentiation potential due to an upregulation of the

Spring-assisted cranioplasty for isolated sagittal craniosynostosis: a retrospective review
**Introduction**: Premature fusion of the sagittal suture is the most common form of non-syndromic single-suture craniosynostosis. Surgical correction in infancy is recommended to normalise skull morphology and allow normal brain development, but the ...

Conditional testing of multiple variants associated with bone mineral density in the FLNB gene region suggests that they represent a single association signal [PDF]
Background: Low bone mineral density (BMD) is a primary risk factor for osteoporosis and is a highly heritable trait, but appears to be influenced by many genes.

Craniosynostosis is the premature fusion of the cranial vault sutures. We have previously described a colony of rabbits with a heritable pattern of nonsyndromic, coronal suture synostosis; however, the underlying genetic defect remains unknown.

Clinical applications of molecular basis for Craniosynostosis. A narrative review.
Cranial sutures are specialized structures composed of the sutural mesenchyme, the overlying scalp, the dura and osteogenic fronts. Each one of these structures express important proteins for osteogenic maturation, membranous ossification of skull bones,

Clinical, biochemical and molecular characterization of Korean patients with mucolipidosis II/III and successful prenatal diagnosis [PDF]
Background: Mucolipidosis types II and III (ML II/III) are autosomal recessive disorders caused by a deficiency in the lysosomal enzyme N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphotransferase.
