Artificial Intelligence Software Changes Rare Disease Testing Strategy in Real Time: An International Case Series Using Face2Gene

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Genetic disorders commonly share features such as developmental delays, cognitive impairment, and behavioral challenges, yet many conditions also present unique dysmorphic features that distinguish them. Performing a thorough medical and family history and a detailed physical exam with attention to dysmorphic features is often the first step ...

Management of Cardiovascular Health Issues in Turner Syndrome: Expert Insights and Expanded Recommendations From the 2024 Guideline Development Team

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Turner syndrome (TS) is frequently complicated by congenital heart disease (CHD). While left‐sided lesions such as bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) and coarctation of the aorta are the most common structural heart lesions in TS, other anomalies, such as aortic arch malformations, hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), persistent left superior vena
