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.

A Population‐Based Study of Limb Body Wall Complex With Proposed Features for Prenatal Diagnosis

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Limb body wall complex (LBWC) is a lethal condition comprising major congenital anomalies. Although currently diagnosed in the early prenatal period, historical diagnostic criteria are based on detailed pathological assessments. Prenatal and postnatal findings of LBWC and their phenotypic overlap with body stalk anomaly (BSA) and recurrent ...

Double gene mutations of LRSAM1 and REEP1 and a new REEP1 mutation site found in a patient with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis with subjective paresthesia: A case report

Ibrain, EarlyView., 2023
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by selective degeneration of upper and lower motor neurons. Leucine‐rich repeats and sterility α mutations in motif 1 (LRSAM1) has been proven to be involved in the pathogenesis of ALS.

Identification of a novel pathogenic variant in the MYH3 gene in a five‐generation family with CPSFS1A (Contractures, Pterygia, and Spondylocarpotarsal Fusion Syndrome 1A)

Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine, 2020
Background Distal arthrogryposis (DA) is a group of rare Mendelian conditions that demonstrate heterogeneity with respect to genetics and phenotypes. Ten types of DAs, which collectively involve six genes, have been reported.

Severe Nerve Enlargement in SOS2‐Related Noonan Syndrome

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Noonan syndrome is a genetic multisystem congenital disorder, caused by pathogenic variants in genes that encode components of the RAS/MAPK signaling pathway. Pathogenic variants in SOS2 represent less than 2% of cases with NS. The phenotype includes a particularly high prevalence (65%) of lymphatic disease. Recently, severe nerve enlargements

AP2M1 Is a Candidate Gene for Microcephaly and Intellectual Disability in 3q27.1 Deletions

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Deletions of the 3q26.33q27.2 region appear to correlate with a distinct phenotype, although there are few reported cases. Here, we present seven previously unreported individuals carrying de novo 3q27 deletions (under 5 Mb), which include the AP2M1 (adaptor‐related protein complex 2, mu‐1 subunit) gene and summarize data from 12 previously ...

An International ASXL3 Natural History Study: Deep Phenotypic Analyses Including Detailed Reports of a Milder Phenotype, Novel Associations, and Clinical Recommendations

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Natural History Studies can help inform clinician and caregiver expectations, form the basis of management guidelines, and provide a comparator for therapeutic intervention. In rare conditions, where collection of prospective longitudinal data is untimely and impractical, quasi‐natural history data—from multiple individuals of different ages ...

Genetic analysis of albinism caused by compound heterozygous mutations of the OCA2 gene in a Chinese family

Hereditas
Background Oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) is a group of rare genetic disorders characterized by a reduced or complete lack of melanin in the skin, hair, and eyes. Patients present with colorless retina, pale pink iris, and pupil, and fear of light.

Neuroaxonal Dystrophy With Osteopetrosis Associated With a Novel Biallelic Nonsense Homozygous Variant in BORCS5

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Neuroaxonal dystrophy (NAD) with osteopetrosis syndrome (OMIM # 600329) was first reported in a consanguineous Moroccan Jewish family. However, to date, no genetic variant has been linked to this disease. We report on sibs, born to consanguineous Pakistani parents identified prenatally with cerebral ventriculomegaly and agenesis of the corpus ...

A report of nine cases and review of the literature of infertile men carrying balanced translocations involving chromosome 5

Molecular Cytogenetics, 2018
Background Balanced translocations may cause the loss of genetic material at the breakpoints and may result in failure of spermatogenesis. However, carriers of reciprocal translocation may naturally conceive.
