Autosomal recessive nonsyndromic congenital retinal nonattachment (NCRNA) comprises congenital insensitivity to light, massive retrolental mass, shallow anterior chamber, microphthalmia, and nystagmus in otherwise normal individuals. Polymerase chain reaction-based linkage analyses of polymorphic microsatellite markers in the 10q21 region on DNA samples from 106 individuals provide evidence that the NCRNA locus is within an interval of approximately 0.6-1.5 cM, flanked by the markers D10S522 and D10S1418. Haplotype analysis demonstrated a unique founder haplotype shared by 100% of the NCRNA chromosomes. These results indicate a founder effect and the strong possibility of a single mutation as the cause of the disease in the affected population. Based on these findings, it is now possible to provide relatively accurate carrier detection and prenatal diagnostic testing for families with NCRNA based on close flanking markers and the capacity to identify NCRNA chromosomes by their haplotypes.

Objective: To estimate the global prevalence of neurodevelopmental impairment in children with Robin sequence (RS) at one year or more of age.
Study Design: Electronic databases such as PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, APA PsycInfo, Emcare, MedNAR and Cochrane library were searched systematically from inception to 31st May 2024. Studies reporting on the neurodevelopmental (global, cognitive, or motor) outcomes in children with RS were included.

Orofacial clefting (OFC) is a frequent congenital anomaly and can occur either in the context of underlying syndromes or in isolation (nonsyndromic). The two common OFC phenotypes are cleft lip with/without cleft palate (CL/P) and cleft palate only (CPO). In this study, we searched for penetrant CL/P genes, by evaluating de novo copy number variants (CNV) from an exome sequencing dataset of 50 nonsyndromic patient-parent trios.

Background: Simple syndactyly is a common congenital upper extremity difference. Traditional reconstructive approaches utilize skin grafts; however, recent studies suggest skin graftless techniques may improve outcomes. We hypothesized that patients who underwent reconstruction with a skin graftless dorsal metacarpal island VY advancement flap would have fewer postoperative complications compared to those released with a dorsal rectangular flap with skin grafts.
