Genomic identification of founding haplotypes reveals the history of the selfing species Capsella rubella [PDF]

arXiv, 2013
The shift from outcrossing to self-fertilization is among the most common transitions in plants. Until recently, however, a genome-wide view of this transition has been obscured by a dearth of appropriate data and the lack of appropriate population genomic methods to interpret such data.

Identification of Genetic Variants Causing Paediatric Cataract in Myanmar

Clinical Genetics, EarlyView.
Up to 60% of children with cataract in Myanmar have a causative variant in a known cataract gene. This is a similar rate to other populations screened to date, but highlights that there are more cataract genes left to identify. ABSTRACT Genetic testing for paediatric cataract detects a cause in 50%–70% of affected children but is as low as 20% in some ...

Rubella transmission and the risk of congenital rubella syndrome in Liberia: a need to introduce rubella-containing vaccine in the routine immunization program

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2019
Background Rubella is an RNA virus in the genus Rubivirus within the Matonaviridae family. Rubella remains a leading vaccine-preventable cause of birth defects. Most African countries including Liberia do not currently provide rubella-containing vaccine (

Characterizing the dynamics of rubella relative to measles: the role of stochasticity [PDF]

Journal of the Royal Society Interface 10, 20130643 (2013), 2012
Rubella is a completely immunizing and mild infection in children. Understanding its behavior is of considerable public health importance because of Congenital Rubella Syndrome, which results from infection with rubella during early pregnancy and may entail a variety of birth defects.

Pathogenic variants in chromatin‐related genes: Linking immune dysregulation to neuroregression and acute neuropsychiatric disorders

Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
Chromatin machinery influences how DNA is ‘wrapped’ around histones in the nucleosome of immune and brain cells. Plain language summary: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/dmcn.16299 Abstract We report eight children with de novo pathogenic DNA variants in chromatin‐related genes: MORC2, CHD7, KANSL1, KMT2D, ZMYND11, HIST1HIE, EP300, and KMT2B.

SIR model with local and global infective contacts: A deterministic approach and applications [PDF]

arXiv, 2015
An epidemic model with births and deaths is considered on a two dimensional LxL lattice. Each individual can have global infective contacts according to the standard SIR model rules or local infective contacts with its nearest neighbors. We propose a deterministic approach to this model and verified that there is a good agreement with the stochastic ...

Cranial ultrasound in neonatal brain infections

Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
Abstract Infection of the neonatal central nervous system (CNS) can cause irreversible brain damage. Cranial ultrasound is an important neuroimaging modality in the neonatal period for detecting brain injury. Several types of organism can cause neonatal CNS infection.

How useful is a history of rubella vaccination for determination of disease susceptibility? A cross-sectional study at a public funded health clinic in Malaysia

BMC Family Practice, 2013
Background Identification of pregnant women susceptible to rubella is important as vaccination can be given postpartum to prevent future risks of congenital rubella syndrome.

The fetal neurologist: Strategies to improve training, practice, and clinical care

Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
Abstract Fetal neurology addresses counselling parents on the clinical significance of brain anomalies encountered in their fetus, including disruptive lesions (i.e. stroke, periventricular haemorrhagic infarction, and infection), and genetically based cortical (i.e.

Rubella epidemiology in the Central African Republic, 2015-2016 and molecular characterization of virus strains from 2008-2016

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2022
Purpose: The Central African Republic (CAF) has not yet introduced immunization against rubella in its national immunization program. In addition, neither rubella nor congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) are integrated into the epidemiological surveillance ...
