We present a kindred of 29 persons affected with erythromelalgia (erythermalgia) in 5 generations. This paper updates the family reported by Burbank et al. [1966]. Patients have symptoms of intermittent intense burning limb pain related to increased skin temperature. No successful treatment has been identified, and the pathogenetic mechanism has not been established. Most affected individuals are female.

Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders affecting approximately 50 million people worldwide. It impacts people of all genders and ages, but evidence suggests a higher incidence rate in children and the elderly. Given that childhood epilepsy has the risk of causing developmental epileptic encephalopathy, which is associated with intellectual, behavioral, and/or motor disabilities, proper assessment of children with new-onset epilepsy at an early stage is essential to prevent threats affecting neurodevelopmental processes.

Introduction: Osteogenesis imperfecta is a rare inherited connective tissue disorder that results in excessive bone fragility due to defects in collagen production. The majority of osteogenesis imperfecta cases are inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, and 17 genetic causes have been identified. Diagnosis is usually based on clinical presentation and low bone mineral density scores, while treatment involves a multidisciplinary approach using medical therapies such as bisphosphonates, vitamin C, and pamidronate.

DFNA1 (deafness, nonsyndromic autosomal dominant 1), initially identified as nonsyndromic sensorineural hearing loss, has been associated with an additional symptom: macrothrombocytopenia. However, the timing of the onset of hearing loss (HL) and thrombocytopenia has not been investigated, leaving it unclear which occurs earlier. Here, we generated a knock-in (KI) DFNA1 mouse model, diaphanous-related formin 1 (DIA1), in which Aequorea coerulescens green fluorescent protein (AcGFP)-tagged human DIA1(p.

Lynch syndrome is a genetic condition predisposing to cancer, particularly colorectal cancer and endometrial cancer, due to germline mutations in MisMatch Repair genes. More rarely, Lynch syndrome is the result of a constitutional promoter methylation. This review summarizes the current knowledge about the role of this epigenetic mechanism in the Lynch syndrome.

Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy CADASIL) is a rare inherited disorder in which thickening of the walls of small and medium-sized blood vessels blocks blood flow to the brain. Diagnosis of CADASIL is based on clinical presentation, neuroimaging findings, and genetic predisposition. This disease is uncommon in children; typically, symptoms manifest in individuals between the ages of 20 and 40, though some may exhibit symptoms later in life.
