Prognostic Value of Serum Insulin‐Like Growth Factor‐1 in Patients With Anal Fistula Treated by Incision‐Thread‐Drawing Surgery

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
IGF‐1 levels above 174.9 ng/mL were associated with better wound healing and lower postoperative inflammation. Higher IGF‐1 levels correlated with improved anal function at 7 and 14 days post‐surgery. ABSTRACT Background Anal fistula is a chronic condition characterized by an abnormal tract between the anal canal and perianal skin, often leading to ...

Expanding the SIAH1‐Associated Phenotypic Spectrum: Insights From Loss‐of‐Function Variants

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT SIAH1 encodes for a RING‐type E3 ubiquitin ligase involved in protein ubiquitination. More specifically, it positively regulates Wnt signaling through promoting the accumulation of β‐catenin and mediates ubiquitination and degradation of Akt3 in neural development.

Exploring Oral Health Related Quality of Life in Rett Syndrome Using Directed Content Analysis

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT No validated oral health‐related quality of life (OHRQOL) instrument currently exists for those with severe intellectual and developmental disabilities and who communicate non‐verbally. This qualitative study aimed to explore the domains that were important to the oral health‐related quality of life in individuals with Rett syndrome (RTT).

Survivorship of Individuals With Double Heterozygosity for Achondroplasia and Type 2 Collagenopathy

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Historically, double heterozygosity, or a diagnosis of two separate, dominant genetic conditions, was often thought to be lethal in individuals with autosomal dominant skeletal dysplasias. In previously published studies of individuals with dual dysplasia diagnoses of achondroplasia and type 2 collagenopathy, infants died of respiratory ...
