Understanding and Modeling the Pathophysiology of Hydrocephalus: In Search of Better Treatment Options

Physiologia
Hydrocephalus is caused by an overproduction of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), an obstruction of fluid movement, or improper reabsorption. CSF accumulation in the brain’s ventricles causes ventriculomegaly, increased intracranial pressure, inflammation, and ...

KDM2B‐Related Neurodevelopmental Disorder A Case‐Series Supporting the CxxC Domain Phenotype With Emphasis on Ocular and Dermatologic Features

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 200, Issue 5, Page 1098-1104, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The KDM2B‐related neurodevelopmental disorder is a recently identified Mendelian disorder of the epigenetic machinery associated with pathogenic variants in KDM2B. Global developmental delay, intellectual disability, congenital anomalies, and systemic manifestations characterize the disorder.

Expanding the Genotype–Phenotype Correlation of Marden–Walker Syndrome due to PIEZO2 Gene Variants: A Case Report From Brazil

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 200, Issue 5, Page 1156-1161, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Marden–Walker syndrome (MWS; OMIM 248700) is an extremely rare congenital disorder characterized by multiple joint contractures, craniofacial dysmorphism, neurological abnormalities, and multisystem involvement. Although historically diagnosed on clinical grounds, only a few cases have been molecularly confirmed.

The Clinical Spectrum and Neurodevelopmental Pathogenesis of KPTN‐Related Disorder in a Mouse Model

Annals of Neurology, Volume 99, Issue 5, Page 1287-1302, May 2026.
Objective Pathogenic variants in Kaptin (KPTN) cause KPTN‐related disorder (KRD). KPTN modulates mTOR signaling activation within the KICSTOR complex in response to cellular amino acid levels. We define the clinical spectrum and investigate the developmental pathogenesis of KRD.

Long-time effects of an experimental therapy with mesenchymal stem cells in congenital hydrocephalus [PDF]

, 2019
Introduction: Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSC) are a potential therapeutic tool due to their ability for migrating and producing neuroprotector factors when they are transplanted in other neurodegenerative diseases.

Diverse Genetic Etiologies of Unilateral Polymicrogyria

Annals of Neurology, Volume 99, Issue 5, Page 1277-1286, May 2026.
Objective Polymicrogyria (PMG) is one of the most common human malformations of cortical development and is often classified by its radiographic pattern of distribution. Unilateral polymicrogyria (uPMG) is a subtype of PMG affecting a portion or all of one cerebral hemisphere.

Antenatal Presentation of MRPS22‐Related Mitochondrial Disease Confirmed With Rapid Proteomics

JIMD Reports, Volume 67, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT MRPS22‐related mitochondrial disease (MIM#611719) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by defects in the mitochondrial ribosomal protein S22, a component of the small mitoribosomal subunit essential for mitochondrial translation. Of the few reported cases, most present antenatally with a severe phenotype, conveying a poor prognosis ...

Pathways to enhancing prenatal diagnosis of skeletal dysplasias

Pregnancy, Volume 2, Issue 3, May 2026.
Abstract Skeletal dysplasias are a group of Mendelian disorders that variably alter the development of the musculoskeletal system and phenotypically range from mild short stature syndromes to severe perinatal or neonatal morbidity. Prenatal diagnosis of these conditions can be challenging due to the lack of precision with ultrasound imaging compared to

The Management of Congenital Cytomegalovirus Infection in an Era of Universal Newborn CMV Screening

Reviews in Medical Virology, Volume 36, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The most common infectious disease responsible for paediatric developmental disability is congenital infection with human cytomegalovirus (cCMV). Many serious sequelae are caused by cCMV, including microcephaly, intracranial calcifications, neuronal migration defects, seizure disorders, developmental delay, and sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL)
