Rare syndromes of the head and face: mandibulofacial and acrofacial dysostoses [PDF]
Craniofacial anomalies account for approximately one-third of all congenital birth defects reflecting the complexity of head and facial development. Craniofacial development is dependent upon a multipotent, migratory population of neural crest cells ...

Variants in Genes Associated with Hearing Loss in Children: Prevalence in a Large Canadian Cohort
This study assessed the prevalence of genetic variants associated with hearing loss in a large cohort of children. A total of 485 children underwent genetic testing, which identified 923 variants, most of which were of uncertain significance. A genetic cause of hearing loss was found in 15% of children which is lower than typically reported.

The restitution of an oxalate-damaged epithelium [PDF]
The renal inner medulla is responsible for the hydro-saline equilibrium maintenance through water and electrolyte excretionin urine. The collecting ducts, which are involved in the urine concentration, are immersed in an extracellular matrix with ...

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is an extremely harmful malignant tumor in the world. Since the energy metabolism and biosynthesis of HCC cells are closely related to amino acids, it is necessary to further explore the relationship between amino acid‐related genes and the prognosis of HCC to achieve individualized treatment.

Microtia: A Combined Approach by Genetics and Audiology
En Abstract Introduction Microtia is a condition in which the external portion of the ear (the auricle) is malformed. In the strictest definition, there is also narrowing or absence of the external auditory canal (external auditory meatus).

Aurora at the pole and equator: overlapping functions of Aurora kinases in the mitotic spindle [PDF]
The correct assembly and timely disassembly of the mitotic spindle is crucial for the propagation of the genome during cell division. Aurora kinases play a central role in orchestrating bipolar spindle establishment, chromosome alignment and segregation.

Animal models for studying neural crest development: is the mouse different? [PDF]
The neural crest is a uniquely vertebrate cell type and has been well studied in a number of model systems. Zebrafish, Xenopus and chick embryos largely show consistent requirements for specific genes in early steps of neural crest development.

Associations between variants of FADS genes and omega-3 and omega-6 milk fatty acids of Canadian Holstein cows [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Fatty acid desaturase 1 (FADS1) and 2 (FADS2) genes code respectively for the enzymes delta-5 and delta-6 desaturases which are rate limiting enzymes in the synthesis of polyunsaturated omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids (FAs). Omega-3 and-6 FAs

Alcohol exposure induces chick craniofacial bone defects by negatively affecting cranial neural crest development [PDF]
Excess alcohol consumption during pregnancy could lead to fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS). However, the molecular mechanism leading to craniofacial abnormality, a feature of FAS, is still poorly understood.
