Article Synopsis
- Fontaine progeroid syndrome (FPS) is a newly identified genetic disorder linked to mutations in the SLC25A24 gene, resulting in severe physical abnormalities such as craniosynostosis and growth restrictions.
- The first documented prenatal cases during the second trimester show different phenotypic features, including encephalocele and nephromegaly, while lacking some typical signs of FPS seen after birth.
- The study highlights the importance of genetic testing methods like exome/genome sequencing for diagnosing rare syndromes, suggesting that FPS may involve a novel inheritance pattern.
Objectives: A valid measurement of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) incubation period is needed for case definitions and for adapting appropriate isolation measures but is challenging in an emergency context. Our objective was to systematically review recent literature reporting estimates of the distribution of the incubation period of SARS-CoV-2 and describe the distribution and its variability and dispersion through a meta-analysis.
Methods: A systematic review was carried out on studies published from 1 January 2020 to 10 January 2021 reporting the SARS-CoV-2 incubation period.
