The experience of migrant mothers of African origin in Spain: A human rights‐based approach to mental health

American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Migrant mothers of African origin (MMAO) face multiple situations of vulnerability in receiving societies, with implications for their right to the highest level of mental health. This study examines the intersecting social determinants that shape the experiences of suffering and well‐being expressed by MMAO engaged in transnational motherhood

Abnormal DNA Methylation Profile Suggests the Extension of the Clinical Spectrum of the SETD2‐Related Disorders to a Syndromic Multiple Tumor Phenotype

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT SETD2 has an essential role in epigenetic regulation. SETD2 pathogenic variants cause neurodevelopmental disorders (SETD2‐NDDs) that most commonly include various degrees of intellectual disability and behavioral disorders, macrocephaly, brain malformations, and generalized overgrowth.

SLEEPNET: Automated Sleep Staging System via Deep Learning [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
Sleep disorders, such as sleep apnea, parasomnias, and hypersomnia, affect 50-70 million adults in the United States (Hillman et al., 2006). Overnight polysomnography (PSG), including brain monitoring using electroencephalography (EEG), is a central component of the diagnostic evaluation for sleep disorders.

A Case of Prader‐Willi Syndrome With a Deletion Including MAGEL2, NDN, and MKRN3, but Excluding SNRPN and SNORD116

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Prader‐Willi syndrome (PWS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder typically caused by large deletions or imprinting defects on chromosome 15q11.2, encompassing multiple genes. While the contribution of individual genes to the PWS phenotype remains unclear, previous studies suggested that isolated deletions of MAGEL2, NDN, and MKRN3, excluding the ...

Worth the Effort: Lessons for Discovery and Care From an Unusual Case of Gorlin Syndrome

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gorlin‐Goltz Syndrome (GGS) is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder encompassing a diverse range of clinical manifestations, including congenital anomalies and predisposition to cancer. Pathogenic variants in PTCH1 and SUFU account for up to 79% and 6% of cases, respectively. Currently, an estimated 15%–27% of individuals with a clinical

Resolving the Diagnostic Odyssey in Inherited Retinal Dystrophies Through Long‐Read Genome Sequencing

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Inherited retinal dystrophies (IRDs) inherited are visually disabling monogenic diseases with remarkable genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity. Mutations in more than 300 different genes have been identified as disease‐causing. The genetic diagnosis of IRDs has significantly advanced with the integration of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS ...

Harnessing the Web for Population-Scale Physiological Sensing: A Case Study of Sleep and Performance [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
Human cognitive performance is critical to productivity, learning, and accident avoidance. Cognitive performance varies throughout each day and is in part driven by intrinsic, near 24-hour circadian rhythms. Prior research on the impact of sleep and circadian rhythms on cognitive performance has typically been restricted to small-scale laboratory-based

Robo‐compliance in Australian employment services

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
Abstract Since the late 1990s, Australia's employment services have enforced mutual obligation compliance as part of a transition to a disciplinary regime of conditional welfare. In recent years, the digitisation of employment services has extended the disciplinary approach to self‐activation.
