We identified a recurrent heterozygous MAX c.179G>A:p.Arg60Gln variant in two unrelated females affected with the emerging phenotypes of MAX‐associated polydactyly‐macrocephaly syndrome. We propose that genitourinary abnormalities, including Mayer–Rokitanski–Kuster–Hauser syndrome in one individual, are an expansion of the known phenotypes associated ...

Expanding the Genotype and Phenotype Diversity in a Chinese Cohort With TRPV4‐Related Dysplasia
Exploring the genotype and phenotype diversity in a Chinese cohort with TRPV4‐related dysplasia. ABSTRACT Dominant mutations in the calcium permeable ion channel TRPV4 (transient receptor potential vanilloid 4) typically result in skeletal dysplasia or peripheral neuromuscular disease.

FAM20A variants cause AI1G, marked by enamel defects, gingival overgrowth and ectopic calcifications. RNA sequencing of patient‐derived gingival fibroblasts showed dysregulated genes in adhesion, proliferation and signalling pathways. Functional assays revealed increased cell proliferation, impaired ECM interactions and osteogenesis, suggesting FAM20A ...

Kdf1 Regulates Molar Cusp Morphogenesis via the PI3K/AKT/mTOR Signalling Axis
Epithelial Kdf1 knockout disrupts molar cusp morphogenesis by promoting inner enamel epithelium proliferation and invagination via PI3K/AKT/mTOR signalling. ABSTRACT Keratinocyte differentiation factor 1 (Kdf1) reportedly plays a significant role in enamel formation.

Piezo2 in Mechanosensory Biology: From Physiological Homeostasis to Disease‐Promoting Mechanisms
Piezo2 channels are essential mechanotransducers regulating touch, proprioception and visceral mechanosensation across physiological systems, emerging as therapeutic targets for pathological mechanical hypersensitivity and neurogenic disorders. ABSTRACT Piezo2, a mechanically activated ion channel, serves as the key molecular transducer for touch ...
