Role of genes in oro-dental diseases

open access: yesIndian Journal of Dental Research, 2010
In oral cavity, the spectrum of diseases due to genetic alterations ranges from developmental disturbances of teeth to the pre-cancerous and cancerous lesions. Of late, significant progress has been made in the molecular analysis of tumors.

Chromosome 3q22.2‐q26.2 Interstitial Deletion in a Patient With Wisconsin Syndrome, Blepharophimosis‐Ptosis‐Epicanthus Inversus Syndrome, Dandy‐Walker Malformation, Pierre Robin Sequence, and Recurrent Infections

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wisconsin syndrome is a very rare genetic condition characterized by coarse facies, prominent nasal tip, bushy high arched/upsweeping eyebrows, and a full/everted lower lip. Deletion of chromosome 3q24q25 region is considered critical for its manifestation.

Severe Nerve Enlargement in SOS2‐Related Noonan Syndrome

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Noonan syndrome is a genetic multisystem congenital disorder, caused by pathogenic variants in genes that encode components of the RAS/MAPK signaling pathway. Pathogenic variants in SOS2 represent less than 2% of cases with NS. The phenotype includes a particularly high prevalence (65%) of lymphatic disease. Recently, severe nerve enlargements

Associations between aging and second molar diseases in patients having adjacent impacted third molar extraction

open access: yesJournal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2021
Purpose: There is limited evidence available regarding when the best time to extract impacted lower third molars (iLM3). Thus, the current study is aimed to examine the association between the age of patients during the time of extraction of their iLM3 ...

Autosomal Recessive Cerebellar Ataxias: Translating Genes to Therapies

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxias are disabling neurodegenerative genetic conditions affecting balance and coordination. Advancements in genomic testing have improved diagnosis, leading to a new focus on the development of targeted precision therapeutics addressing cellular, biochemical, and genetic disease mechanisms with a resulting emphasis on ...

Bayesian Nonparametric Policy Search with Application to Periodontal Recall Intervals [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2018
Tooth loss from periodontal disease is a major public health burden in the United States. Standard clinical practice is to recommend a dental visit every six months; however, this practice is not evidence-based, and poor dental outcomes and increasing dental insurance premiums indicate room for improvement.

Finite element analysis of feeding in red and gray squirrels (Sciurus vulgaris and Sciurus carolinensis)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Invasive gray squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) have replaced the native red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) across much of Great Britain over the last century. Several factors have been proposed to underlie this replacement, but here we investigated the potential for dietary competition in which gray squirrels have better feeding performance than ...
