Craniofacial Microsomia in Cat-Eye Syndrome: Rethinking the formation mechanism through cytogenetic clues
The wide spectrum of clinical and morphological manifestations turns the diagnosis of Craniofacial microsomia tricky, even more so having the overlap of phenotype with other comorbidities such as Cat-eye Syndrome. The distinction is established...
Severe neonatal Costello syndrome caused by a de novo HRAS p.Gly12Cys variant: the role of whole-exome sequencing in differential diagnosis
Background: Costello syndrome is an ultra-rare RASopathy caused by gain-of-function mutations in the HRAS proto-oncogene, leading to constitutive activation of the RAS/MAPK signaling pathway and characterized by distinctive cra...
Deletion of chromosome 22q11.2 and its origin
Deletion of chromosome 22q11.2 is a common disorder and a constant subject of inquiry due to its variable expressivity. Independently of severity, ranging from severe (DiGeorge syndrome) to milder manifestations, carriers may have children with...
