A Novel Variant in Presenting as 46,XY Difference of Sex Development.

Differences of sex development (DSDs) are a spectrum of congenital clinical conditions involving the development of gonadal, chromosomal, and anatomical sex. The physical presentation provides incomplete clues because underlying etiologies may present with similar findings. We describe an 8-year-old boy from the Dominican Republic originally diagnosed with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH).

Cholesterol twists the transmembrane Di-Gly region of amyloid-precursor protein.

Nearly 95% of Alzheimer's disease (AD) occurs sporadically without genetic linkage. Aging, hypertension, high cholesterol content, and diabetes are known nongenomic risk factors of AD. Aggregation of Aβ peptides is an initial event of AD pathogenesis.

Case report: Discovery of a pathogenic variant in a patient with an APECED-like clinical phenotype.

Introduction: Autoimmune polyendocrinopathy-candidiasis-ectodermal dystrophy (APECED) and poikiloderma in association with tendon contractures, myopathy, and pulmonary fibrosis (POIKTMP) are rare inherited syndromes resulting from biallelic pathogenic variants in and heterozygous pathogenic variants in , respectively. The clinical diagnosis of APECED and POIKTMP rely on the development of two or more characteristic disease manifestations that define the corresponding syndromes. We discuss the shared and distinct clinical, radiographic, and histological features between APECED and POIKTMP presented in our patient case and describe his treatment response to azathioprine for POIKTMP-associated hepatitis, myositis, and pneumonitis.
