Article Synopsis
  • - Polydactyly, which refers to having extra fingers or toes, has been linked to some cancer predisposition syndromes, but the actual cancer risk in people with polydactyly is not well understood.
  • - A study analyzing data from over 6,600 individuals in Sweden found that those with polydactyly, particularly polydactyly+ (which includes additional birth defects), have a significantly increased risk of developing childhood and young adult cancers, especially kidney cancer and leukemia.
  • - The findings revealed that males with polydactyly+ had the highest cancer risk, and this association persisted even after accounting for other known cancer predisposition syndromes.

is a ubiquitously expressed forkhead transcription factor that plays a critical role during early development. Germline pathogenic variants in are associated with anterior segment dysgenesis and Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome (ARS, #602482), an autosomal dominant condition with ophthalmologic anterior segment abnormalities, high risk for glaucoma and extraocular findings including distinctive facial features, as well as dental, skeletal, audiologic, and cardiac anomalies. De Hauwere syndrome is an ultrarare condition previously associated with 6p microdeletions and characterized by anterior segment dysgenesis, joint instability, short stature, hydrocephalus, and skeletal abnormalities.

Towards achieving the goal of eliminating epidemic outbreaks of meningococcal disease in the African meningitis belt, a pentavalent glycoconjugate vaccine (NmCV-5) has been developed to protect against serogroups A, C, Y, W and X. MenA and X polysaccharides are conjugated to tetanus toxoid (TT) while MenC, Y and W polysaccharides are conjugated to recombinant cross reactive material 197 (rCRM), a non-toxic genetic variant of diphtheria toxin. This study describes quality control testing performed by the manufacturer, Serum Institute of India Private Limited (SIIPL), and the independent control laboratory of the U.
