PAPSS2-Related Brachyolmia: Clinical and Radiographic Features and Growth Hormone Therapy of One Chinese Case. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Brachyolmia type 4 (BCYM4, OMIM 612847) is a rare skeletal dysplasia characterized by mild epiphyseal and metaphyseal abnormalities. We report a Chinese boy with brachyolmia caused by a novel compound heterozygous mutation in the PAPSS2 gene.

The Phenotypic Spectrum of Miller Syndrome: Insight From a French Cohort
This study expands the clinical spectrum of Miller syndrome by reporting novel features including preaxial defects, facial nevus simplex, and optic atrophy. It also includes the first patients with homozygous DHODH variants, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and the variability of presentations, from severe prenatal to mild adult phenotypes.

Molecular Landscape in Limb Anomalies: Diagnostic Yield and New Candidate Genes
In 132 individuals with limb anomalies, diagnostic yield was 36% (47/132), including 25 novel variants, three cases with new phenotypes, and two candidate loci, HOXA11 and a small 2q31.1 deletion. Mouse data and exome‐wide analysis, key in identifying the candidate loci, represent an important opportunity for gene discovery.

Piezo2 in Mechanosensory Biology: From Physiological Homeostasis to Disease‐Promoting Mechanisms
Piezo2 channels are essential mechanotransducers regulating touch, proprioception and visceral mechanosensation across physiological systems, emerging as therapeutic targets for pathological mechanical hypersensitivity and neurogenic disorders. ABSTRACT Piezo2, a mechanically activated ion channel, serves as the key molecular transducer for touch ...
