research Child with De Novo t(1;6)(p22.1;p22.1) translocation and features of ectodermal dysplasia with hypodontia and developmental delay
A chromosomal change may cause ectodermal dysplasia and developmental issues in a child.
research Pseudallescheria boydii infection associated with IgG4-related disease
This study focused on a family with Junctional epidermolysis bullosa (JEB), a rare genetic disorder, to confirm their diagnosis and identify the pathogenic variant. Researchers collected clinical data and DNA from family members, utilizing whole-exome sequencing and Sanger sequencing to detect gene variants. They discovered a novel splice-site variant (c.629-12T>G) in the LAMB3 gene present in all patients, confirming it as a pathogenic variant. The study concluded that diagnosing JEB should rely on gene sequencing, as splice site variants can also lead to the disease.

research SRD5A3 Is Required for Converting Polyprenol to Dolichol and Is Mutated in a Congenital Glycosylation Disorder
Mutations in the SRD5A3 gene cause a new type of glycosylation disorder by blocking the production of a molecule necessary for protein glycosylation.
research Expression of E6 and E7 papillomavirus oncogenes in the outer root sheath of hair follicles extends the growth phase and bypasses resting at telogen.
E6/E7 oncogenes in hair follicles cause continuous hair growth by skipping the resting phase.
research Hereditary Mucoepithelial Dysplasia and Autosomal-Dominant IFAP Syndrome Is a Clinical Spectrum Due to SREBF1 Variants
A mutation in the SREBF1 gene causes both hereditary mucoepithelial dysplasia and IFAP syndrome, which are related conditions.
