Growth Standards for Children With Smith–Magenis Syndrome (SMS)

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Smith–Magenis syndrome (SMS, OMIM 182290) is a complex syndromic diagnosis marked by neurobehavioral differences and distinct facial dysmorphisms, caused by haploinsufficiency of the retinoic acid‐1 (RAI1) gene either by a pathogenic sequence variant or deletion at chromosome 17p11.2 involving a portion or all of this gene.

Association between preterm births and socioeconomic development: analysis of national data

BMC Public Health, 2022
Background The increasing prevalence of preterm birth, which is a global phenomenon, is attributable to the increased medical indications, artificial gestations, and some socioeconomic factors. This study was conducted to identify whether development and

Growth Hormone Treatment in Patients With KBG Syndrome: Novel Insights, Challenges and Recommendations From Six New Patients and Literature Review

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT KBG syndrome is one of the most frequent neurodevelopmental disorders and is caused by ANKRD11 variants. Postnatal short stature is observed in ~50% of patients. Recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) has become a valuable treatment for patients with growth hormone deficiency (GHD) along with Prader–Willi and Turner syndrome. Limited evidence

Trisomy 5p: Long Recognized, Rarely Published‐ Three New Cases and Review of the Literature

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Complete trisomy 5p is a rare chromosomal disorder caused by a duplication of the short arm of chromosome 5. Current data suggest that complete trisomy 5p presents as a distinct clinical syndrome including but not limited to seizures, developmental delays, facial dysmorphisms, failure to thrive, and recurrent respiratory infections.

Intestinal Atresia in PPP1R12A‐Related Urogenital and Brain Malformation Syndrome

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT PPP1R12A‐related urogenital and brain malformation syndrome (UBMS) is a newly described disorder characterized by congenital anomalies primarily involving the urogenital system and the brain. We describe a preterm female neonate with multiple congenital anomalies, including type IIIb jejunal atresia, incomplete intestinal rotation, imperforate

A Confirmatory Case of Severe Spondylocostal Dysostosis Caused by Biallelic Loss‐of‐Function of DMRT2

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Spondylocostal dysostosis (SCDO) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by abnormal development of the axial skeleton, resulting in malformations of the vertebrae and ribs that often impair lung development and lead to significant respiratory morbidity.

Genomics of Preterm Birth [PDF]

Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine, 2015
The molecular mechanisms controlling human birth timing at term, or resulting in preterm birth, have been the focus of considerable investigation, but limited insights have been gained over the past 50 years. In part, these processes have remained elusive because of divergence in reproductive strategies and physiology shown by model organisms, making ...

Management of Cardiovascular Health Issues in Turner Syndrome: Expert Insights and Expanded Recommendations From the 2024 Guideline Development Team

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Turner syndrome (TS) is frequently complicated by congenital heart disease (CHD). While left‐sided lesions such as bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) and coarctation of the aorta are the most common structural heart lesions in TS, other anomalies, such as aortic arch malformations, hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), persistent left superior vena
