Basal Metabolic Requirements, Biomarkers of Cardiometabolic Health, and Anthropometric Measures of Obesity in Women and Men With Restricted Growth Conditions

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Population‐specific thresholds have not been defined for the levels of adiposity and systemic biomarkers that predict chronic health risks in people with restricted growth conditions. Here, anthropometric measures of adiposity, basal metabolic requirements, and fasted blood samples were obtained from adults with restricted growth (age 41 ± 14 ...

The Etiological Spectrum OF Short Stature among Children Attending Endocrine Clinic at Tertiary Care Hospital [PDF]

Liaquat National Journal of Primary Care
Background: One of the most frequent reasons for referral to pediatric endocrinology units is short stature. Children’s short height has a complicated etiology that includes genetics, race, gender, nutrition, and several endocrine hormones.

Sacroiliac Joint Involvement: An Underreported Complication of NF1

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT NF1‐related bone dysplasia in children and young adults with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) involving the sacroiliac joint has been rarely described. We report four participants who underwent whole‐body magnetic resonance imaging (WB‐MRI) as part of a longitudinal imaging and plexiform neurofibroma (PN) biomarker study (NCT05238909) at Ann ...

TBX3‐ Related Disorder

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Heterozygous pathogenic variants in TBX3 cause Ulnar‐Mammary syndrome (UMS). The phenotype is classically characterized by upper limb defects, apocrine/mammary gland hypoplasia, hypogonadism, and various midline defects. However, the clinical spectrum is highly variable, and some individuals may present with a mild or atypical presentation ...

Contribution of VEGF polymorphism rs3025020 to short stature and hypertension in elderly Japanese individuals: a cross-sectional study

Journal of Physiological Anthropology, 2021
Background Recently, short stature has been revealed to be positively associated with hypertension, possibly because this indicates lower activity of vascular maintenance, such as angiogenesis.

The Head Circumference Height Index (HCH‐I) to Quantify Relative Macrocephaly and Aid Identification of Hypochondroplasia in Children

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hypochondroplasia (HCH) is a rare skeletal dysplasia caused by pathogenic variants in the FGFR3 gene. We hypothesized that the relative disproportion between head circumference and height in HCH might be diagnostically informative and generated a simple index of head‐stature disproportion to help pediatricians diagnose HCH.

Helical mutations in type I collagen that affect the processing of the amino-propeptide result in an Osteogenesis Imperfecta/Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome overlap syndrome [PDF]

, 2013
Background: Whereas mutations affecting the helical domain of type I procollagen classically cause Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI), helical mutations near the amino (N)-proteinase cleavage site have been suggested to result in a mixed OI/Ehlers-Danlos ...
