Journal ArticleDOI

ACTH receptor mutation in a girl with familial glucocorticoid deficiency

TL;DR: It is suggested that mutation analysis of the ACTH receptor gene be considered in children with clinical features of FGD and tall stature, and it is described a girl born to consanguineous Pakistani parents who is homozygous for the R146H mutation of the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) receptor gene.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome type 2: report of nine new cases that extend the phenotypic and genotypic spectrum.

TL;DR: The findings support previous observations that microcephaly, maternal pre-eclampsia, mild growth restriction and a mild to moderate intellectual disability are key pointers to the diagnosis of EP300-related RTS.
Journal ArticleDOI

Metopic and sagittal synostosis in Greig cephalopolysyndactyly syndrome: five cases with intragenic mutations or complete deletions of GLI3

TL;DR: A recently proposed association of intragenic GLI3 mutations with metopic synostosis is extended and confirmed, and the three individuals with complete deletion ofGLI3 were previously considered to have Carpenter syndrome are highlighted, highlighting an important source of diagnostic confusion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clinical delineation, sex differences, and genotype-phenotype correlation in pathogenic KDM6A variants causing X-linked Kabuki syndrome type 2.

TL;DR: In this article, the variant spectrum and the phenotype of X-linked Kabuki syndrome type 2 (KS2) are poorly understood and the variability of the KS2 phenotypic depends on sex and the variant type.
Journal ArticleDOI

Germline mutations affecting the histone H4 core cause a developmental syndrome by altering DNA damage response and cell cycle control.

TL;DR: It is shown that the histone H4 alterations cause genomic instability, resulting in increased apoptosis and cell cycle progression anomalies during early development, and indicates an important role for the ubiquitination of H4K91 in genomic stability during embryonic development.
