Foxl2 functions in sex determination and histogenesis throughout mouse ovary development

TL;DR: In the absence of Foxl2, expression changes affecting a large fraction of pathways were opposite those observed in Wnt4-null ovaries, reinforcing the notion that these genes have complementary actions in ovary development.
Journal ArticleDOI

SMCHD1 mutations associated with a rare muscular dystrophy can also cause isolated arhinia and Bosma arhinia microphthalmia syndrome

TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that SMCHD1 mutations cause facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy type 2 (FSHD2) via a trans-acting loss-of-function epigenetic mechanism.

SMCHD1 mutations associated with a rare muscular dystrophy can also cause isolated arhinia and Bosma arhinia microphthalmia syndrome (vol 49, pg 238, 2017)

TL;DR: Mutations in SMCHD1 contribute to distinct phenotypic spectra, from craniofacial malformation and reproductive disorders to muscular dystrophy, which are speculated to be consistent with oligogenic mechanisms resulting in pleiotropic outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mutational screening of CHX10, GDF6, OTX2, RAX and SOX2 genes in 50 unrelated microphthalmia–anophthalmia–coloboma (MAC) spectrum cases

TL;DR: A comprehensive mutational analysis of the CHX10, GDF6, RAX, SOX2 and OTX2 genes was performed in 50 MAC subjects, highlighting the importance of genotyping large groups of patients from distinct ethnic origins for improving the estimation of the global involvement of particular MAC-causing genes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dynamics of the Ovarian Reserve and Impact of Genetic and Epidemiological Factors on Age of Menopause

TL;DR: The first quantitative graph of follicle numbers, distinguished from oocyte counts, across the reproductive lifespan is shown, and the current state of information about genetic and epidemiological risk factors in relation to possible preservation of reproductive capacity is reviewed.
