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

open access: yesAmerican 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

open access: yesAmerican 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.

Multiple Genomic Technologies Validate Rare Novel Variant and Direct Medical Care in Vascular Anomalies

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Some vascular anomalies, such as hamartomas associated with PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome (PHTS) and fibroadipose vascular anomaly (FAVA, often due to PI3KCA variants), share similar clinical, radiological, and histopathological presentations that challenge clinicians to provide an accurate diagnosis.

Gastrointestinal Issues in CHARGE Syndrome: Prevalence, Patterns, and Constipation‐Related Quality of Life

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms are common in CHARGE syndrome, but their frequency and characteristics remain poorly documented due to the complex nature of CHARGE syndrome. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of GI issues in CHARGE syndrome and their impact on quality of life (QoL).

Outcomes from a Novel Approach to Studying Consumer Genetic Testing for Germline Cancer and Cardiovascular Risk

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite the growing availability of consumer genetic testing for serious disease risks, outcomes data remain limited for individuals undergoing testing for high‐ and moderate‐penetrance genes. To address this gap, we evaluated the feasibility of the Consumer Genetic Testing Outcomes Evaluation Paradigm (CGT‐OEP), a novel approach for studying ...

Speech and Language Disorders Associated With 7q31 Deletions Implicating FOXP2

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Some 7q31 deletions encompass FOXP2, a gene long associated with speech and language disorders. Intragenic pathogenic FOXP2 variants cause FOXP2‐related speech and language disorder, which has been well characterized in the literature. Conversely, the phenotype associated with 7q31 deletions is neglected.
