Biallelic FGF4 Variants Linked to Thoracic Dystrophy and Respiratory Insufficiency
We report three people from two unrelated families with a clinical diagnosis of thoracic dystrophy characterized by short or missing ribs, narrow chest, and respiratory insufficiency. Affected people each have rare, biallelic, predicted deleterious missense substitutions in FGF4, a gene known to be essential for the formation of the thoracic skeleton ...

ATAD3 duplications bridge mitochondrial diseases and Aicardi–Goutières syndrome
ATAD3 locus duplications cause a severe neonatal mitochondrial disorder with neuroimaging features resembling interferonopathies, and suggest a mitochondrial nucleic acid‐triggered interferon response. Abstract A recurrent 68‐kb heterozygous duplication of the ATAD3 locus has been implicated in a mitochondrial disorder characterized by prenatal or ...

Clinical value of high‐frequency ultrasound and serum miR‐92a‐3p in diabetic peripheral neuropathy
Serum miR‐92a‐3p and CSAs of median, ulnar, and tibial nerves are elevated in DPN patients. Their combination has high diagnostic significance in identifying DPN in T2DM patients and assessing its severity. ABSTRACT Aims/Introduction Cross‐sectional area (CSA) by high‐frequency ultrasound (HF‐US) detects morphologic changes in neuropathy. microRNA (miR)
