Introduction: -related neurodevelopmental disorder (related NDD) is caused by pathogenic variants in the gene and is characterized by a distinctive facial appearance, intellectual disability, speech delay, seizures, feeding difficulties, cryptorchidism, hernias, and structural anomalies of the brain, heart, eye, and kidney. There is a marked facial resemblance and a common multisystem affectation with patients carrying pathogenic variants in the and genes, although they vary in terms of severity and eye involvement.
Case Presentation: Here, we describe 4 individuals with -related NDD from Mexico, all of them carrying a de novo variant c.
Asthma is an etiologically heterogeneous disease resulting from a complex interaction between genetic. The genetic aspects involved in asthma, which were analyzed from the perspective of the traditional model of multifactorial inheritance, were susceptibility, host factors, and environmental exposures. In the present paper, studies on their family aggregation, concordance in twins, and heritability were analized; as well as the current knowledge about candidate genes, genome wide association studies, and epigenomics contributions and other omic studies that have increased our knowledge about their pathophysiology and environmental interactions.
