COX14 Variants Are Associated With Mitochondrial Complex IV Deficiency Nuclear Type 10 (MC4DN10)

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT COX14 encodes a transmembrane protein essential for cytochrome c oxidase (COX) complex assembly. A homozygous missense variant in COX14 was reported in three siblings from a single consanguineous family with severe, fatal infantile mitochondrial complex IV deficiency nuclear type 10 (MC4DN10; MIM# 619053).

Longitudinal Echocardiographic Surveillance of Aortic Dilation in a Phenotype‐Enriched Turner Syndrome Cohort

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Turner syndrome (TS) is associated with thoracic aortopathy and increased risk for aortic dissection, yet the natural history of aortic dilation is not well understood. We performed a retrospective longitudinal study of individuals with TS who participated in the TS Society of the United States Healthy Heart Project between 2003 and 2023 ...

Revisiting paravertebral muscles in European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) and European brown hares (Lepus europaeus) (Leporidae; Lagomorpha)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Domesticated European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) have long been chosen as laboratory model organisms. Despite this, there has been no definitive study of the vertebral musculature of wild rabbits. Relevant descriptions of well‐studied veterinary model mammals (such as dogs) are generally applicable, but not appropriate for a species ...
