Quality of Life of Families Who Have Children With Cornelia de Lange Syndrome in Brazil: Opportunities for Improvement

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This exploratory cross‐sectional study aimed to estimate the family quality of life (FQoL) among 70 Brazilian families with children with Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS). Data were collected using sociodemographic and clinical data forms, the Barthel index for activities of daily living, and the Beach Center FQoL Scale, a 5‐point Likert tool

Addressing the Diagnostic Odyssey for Adults With Neurodevelopmental Disabilities: Case Study of an Individual With Mandibulofacial Dysostosis With Microcephaly

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Whole exome sequencing (WES) has been widely used in the pediatric setting to increase diagnostic yield, provide treatment options, and to estimate reoccurrence risks. However, there is limited knowledge regarding the utility of this technology in adults with neurodevelopmental disabilities.

Patient With Prolidase Deficiency due to an Homozygous PEPD Variant, Induced by Paternal Uniparental Isodisomy of Chromosome 19

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Uniparental disomy (UPD) is a rare phenomenon in which both copies of a chromosome are inherited from a single parent. This can lead to genomic imprinting disorders and recessive disorders due to the presence of recessive pathogenic variants in both alleles. Additionally, depending on the mechanisms by which UPD occurs, mosaic aneuploidies may

The Behavioral Phenotype and Importance of Multidisciplinary Care in Patients With Sotos Syndrome: A Single‐Center Experience

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sotos syndrome is an autosomal dominant condition caused by pathogenic variants in the NSD1 gene on chromosome 5q35. It is characterized by macrosomia, distinctive facial features, and developmental delays. Patients are also reported to have a behavioral phenotype including autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder ...

A Splice‐Region Variant Causes an Atypical Presentation of GNAS Inactivation Disorder

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pathogenic variants in GNAS can cause a wide range of diseases including pseudohypoparathyroidism, pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism, McCune‐Albright syndrome, among others. The specific phenotypic features that may be seen are influenced by the variant type and location in the gene, whether it causes loss or gain of function, and whether it is ...

Survivorship of Individuals With Double Heterozygosity for Achondroplasia and Type 2 Collagenopathy

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Historically, double heterozygosity, or a diagnosis of two separate, dominant genetic conditions, was often thought to be lethal in individuals with autosomal dominant skeletal dysplasias. In previously published studies of individuals with dual dysplasia diagnoses of achondroplasia and type 2 collagenopathy, infants died of respiratory ...

Chromosome 3q22.2‐q26.2 Interstitial Deletion in a Patient With Wisconsin Syndrome, Blepharophimosis‐Ptosis‐Epicanthus Inversus Syndrome, Dandy‐Walker Malformation, Pierre Robin Sequence, and Recurrent Infections

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wisconsin syndrome is a very rare genetic condition characterized by coarse facies, prominent nasal tip, bushy high arched/upsweeping eyebrows, and a full/everted lower lip. Deletion of chromosome 3q24q25 region is considered critical for its manifestation.
