Pathogenesis and morphogenesis of craniofacial developmental anomalies.
نویسنده
چکیده
A condensed review of the morphogenetic mechanisms of facial fabrication, providing insights into developmental anomalies of clinical concern. Genetics, epigenetics and regulation of molecular, cellular, tissue and organ formation are being elucidated in normal and dysmorphological patterns. The pathogenesis of craniosynostosis is related to fibroblast growth factor expression. Analysis of a 28-month-old-child's dysmorphic synostotic skull explores possible mechanisms of malformation and deformation.

Syndromic Intellectual Disability Caused by a Novel Truncating Variant in AHDC1: A Case Report
Mutations in the AHDC1 gene are associated with the Xia-Gibbs syndrome (XGS), a sporadic genetic disorder characterised by developmental delay, intellectual disability, hypotonia, obstructive sleep apnoea, dysmorphic facial features, and cerebral malformations with plagiocephaly. Here we report the case of a 13-year-old Colombian female patient with a history of developmental delay, speech dela...
متن کاملA Case Report: Nager Acrofacial Dysostosis
Introduction: Nager syndrome is a malformation resulting from problems in the development of the first and second branchial arches and limb buds. The cause of the abnormal development of the pharyngeal arches in Nager syndrome is unknown. It is also unclear why affected individuals have bone abnormalities in their arms and legs. Nager syndrome is thought to have an autosomal recessive inherita...

Holoprosencephaly is a common developmental disorder in humans characterised by incomplete brain hemisphere separation and midface anomalies. The etiology of holoprosencephaly is heterogeneous with environmental and genetic causes, but for a majority of holoprosencephaly cases the genes associated with the pathogenesis could not be identified so far. Here we report the generation of knockout mi...
متن کاملMaturation of ureter-bladder connection in mice is controlled by LAR family receptor protein tyrosine phosphatases.
Congenital anomalies affecting the ureter-bladder junction are frequent in newborns and are often associated with other developmental defects. However, the molecular and morphological processes underlying these malformations are still poorly defined. In this study, we identified the leukocyte antigen-related (LAR) family protein tyrosine phosphatase, receptor type, S and F (Ptprs and Ptprf [als...
متن کاملTaspase1-dependent TFIIA cleavage coordinates head morphogenesis by limiting Cdkn2a locus transcription.
Head morphogenesis requires complex signal relays to enable precisely coordinated proliferation, migration, and patterning. Here, we demonstrate that, during mouse head formation, taspase1-mediated (TASP1-mediated) cleavage of the general transcription factor TFIIA ensures proper coordination of rapid cell proliferation and morphogenesis by maintaining limited transcription of the negative cell...
