Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified over 300 loci associated with the inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), but putative causal genes for most are unknown. We conducted the largest disease-focused expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) analysis using colon tissue from 252 IBD patients to determine genetic effects on gene expression and potential contribution to IBD. Combined with two non-IBD colon eQTL studies, we identified 194 potential target genes for 108 GWAS loci.

- First branchial cleft anomalies are rare issues in the head and neck area that some kids are born with, and there's not much info on how to classify or treat them properly.
- * Expert doctors worked together to come up with better ways to identify and manage these anomalies using a method called the Delphi method.
- * They created a new classification system and treatment guidelines to help doctors give better care to kids with these conditions.
Congenital Pyriform Aperture Stenosis: Not All Patients Require Open Repair.
Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg
September 2024
Objective: Evaluate the management options for congenital nasal pyriform aperture stenosis (CNPAS).
Study Design: Case series.
Setting: Tertiary referral children's hospital.
Background And Purpose: Morning glory disc anomaly (MGDA) is a congenital malformation characterized by a funnel-shaped optic disc excavation with radiating vessels and a central glial tuft. Imaging is essential to evaluate associated cephalocele and steno-occlusive vasculopathy. The goal of this study was to assess optic nerve, chiasmatic, and sphenoid bone morphology in MGDA.
