Spectrum of Congenital Anomalies in Myhre Syndrome—Insights Into Effects Brought by Altered TGF‐β Signaling via Gain‐of‐Function Variants in SMAD4

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Myhre syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by progressive multisystem involvement. Gain‐of‐function missense heterozygous variants affecting the Ile500 residue and Arg496 residue of the SMAD4 gene are implicated in this condition.

A De Novo heterozygous frameshift mutation identified in BCL11B causes neurodevelopmental disorder by whole exome sequencing

Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine, 2019
Background Next‐generation sequencing has been invaluable to delineate the genetic etiology of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) in recent years. BCL11B, encoding Cys2His2 zinc finger transcription factor, is essential for the development of immune and

The International Consortium for Arthrogryposis: A Collaborative Framework for Early Detection, Care, Research, and Education

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC) is a group of rare congenital conditions, characterized by multiple joint contractures but may involve any body system including central nervous system. AMC is etiologically heterogeneous, with over 400 genetic and many non‐genetic causes implicated in its prenatal development.

Health disparities in chronic liver disease

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract The syndemic of hazardous alcohol consumption, opioid use, and obesity has led to important changes in liver disease epidemiology that have exacerbated health disparities. Health disparities occur when plausibly avoidable health differences are experienced by socially disadvantaged populations.

Analyzing false‐negative results detected in low‐risk non‐invasive prenatal screening cases

Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine, 2020
Background The non‐invasive prenatal screening (NIPS) has been introduced into clinical practice with a high sensitivity and specificity. Although the false‐negative results are inevitable and important, limited false‐negative NIPS results have been ...
