Detection of the Heterozygous Recurrent MAX p.(Arg60Gln) Variant in Two Females Confirms and Expands the Phenotypic Spectrum of Polydactyly–Macrocephaly Syndrome

Clinical Genetics, Volume 109, Issue 4, Page 788-795, April 2026.
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 ...

Prenatal Diagnosis of Renal Anomalies Associated With a Novel Causative Variant in RAP1B Gene

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
A case of prenatal renal cystic disease and unilateral renal agenesis is reported. Molecular investigations including TRIO next‐generation sequencing analysis using the Clinical exome sequencing protocol identified the c.179G>T, p.(Gly60Val) “de novo” variant in a heterozygous state in the RAP1B gene.

Do Not Judge a Kidney by Its Pelvis: A Rare Case of an Unobstructed Dilated Renal Pelvis

Urology Case Reports, 2014
We present a rare case of an unobstructed dilated renal pelvis in a newborn female. Prenatal imaging documented a large abdominal cyst in a stable fetus. Postnatal imaging confirmed persistence of this large cyst but with an unclear etiology.

Avoiding the Pitfall: Ectopic Pelvic Kidney Mimicking a Pelvic Mass in a Patient With Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections. A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
A 55‐year‐old woman with recurrent UTIs and a fixed pelvic mass on examination was intially suspected of having a neoplasm. Contrast‐enhanced CT revealed an ectopic pelvic kidney (yellow arrow, adjacent to uterus U), confirming an asymptomatic congenital anomaly as the cause. Imaging is essential to avoid misdiagnosis and iatrogenic injury.

A Qualitative Review of Clinical Decision‐Making Using [99mTc]Tc‐Mercaptoacetyltriglycine Renal Scintigraphy in Patients With Malignant Ureteral Obstruction

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, Volume 73, Issue 1, Page 106-114, March 2026.
This case series evaluated the clinical utility of [99mTc]Tc‐MAG3 renal scintigraphy in managing malignant ureteral obstruction (MUO). Renal scintigraphy‐guided decision‐making allowed safe conservative management in selected patients, particularly those with a non‐functional excretion pattern, and helped avoid unnecessary urinary drainage.
