Clinical &Experimental Ophthalmology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Higher past sun or ultraviolet radiation exposure increases the risk of skin cancer and three common ocular findings: pterygium, conjunctival ultraviolet autofluorescence (CUVAF) and myopia. We investigated whether ocular markers of past sun exposure are associated with a history of skin cancer.

Two Novel ACTC1 Variants Cause Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita
Clinical Genetics, EarlyView.We report on two individuals with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita who were heterozygous for ACTC1 missense variants (NM_005159.5; c.325G>A, p.Glu109Lys and c.650A>C, p.Lys217Thr) and provide a characterization of these variants through in vitro studies.

Surviving Males With PORCN Variants: Expanding the Clinical, Molecular, and Mechanistic Spectrum
Clinical Genetics, EarlyView.Pathogenic PORCN variants are compatible with male survival in both mosaic and non‐mosaic states, expanding the FDH/PONGOS spectrum and improving diagnosis and genetic counseling. ABSTRACT Pathogenic variants in PORCN cause focal dermal hypoplasia (FDH/Goltz syndrome), an X‐linked dominant disorder historically considered lethal in males, with milder ...
