Four genes-DAND5, PKD1L1, MMP21, and CIROP-form a genetic module that has specifically evolved in vertebrate species that harbor motile cilia in their left-right organizer (LRO). We find here that CIROZ (previously known as C1orf127) is also specifically expressed in the LRO of mice, frogs, and fish, where it encodes a protein with a signal peptide followed by 3 zona pellucida N domains, consistent with extracellular localization. We report 16 individuals from 10 families with bi-allelic CIROZ inactivation variants, which cause heterotaxy with congenital heart defects.

Objectives: This study aimed to determine the dimensions and differences in distances from several anatomical structures to the mental foramen (MtF) in Pakistani participants using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).

Methods: For this cross-sectional study, retrospective CBCT data of Pakistani individuals from both genders were assessed using the Mimics software (Materialise NV, Leuven, Belgium). The participants were selected from the Mahajir and Pukhtoon ethnic groups in Pakistan.

Objectives: This study aims to compare differences in mandibular canal (MC) location between dentate and edentulous ridges, in the second premolar region as well as the first, second, and third molar regions using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) of Arabic and Kurdish Iraqi populations.

Materials And Methods: CBCT images of 400 subjects (200 Arabs, 200 Kurds) were collected from radiological archives. RadiAnt DICOM software (Medixant, Poland) was used for image analyses.
