Cylindromas are cutaneous tumors first described in the medical literature over 150 years ago. They are now known to occur on an inherited basis as a result of mutations in the tumor-suppressor gene CYLD. The discovery of this gene has provided novel insights into this rare skin tumor syndrome. As well as enabling genetic counseling of affected patients, the knowledge of CYLD function has led to steps toward development of novel therapeutics, with CYLD-regulated signaling pathways as the target for this approach.

Kenny-Caffey syndrome 2 (KCS2) is a rare cause of hypoparathyroidism, inherited in an autosomal dominant mode, resulting from pathogenic variants of the gene, which is implicated in intracellular pathways regulating parathormone (PTH) synthesis and skeletal and parathyroid gland development. : The case of a boy is reported, presenting with the characteristic and newly identified clinical, biochemical, radiological, and genetic abnormalities of KCS2. : The proband had noticeable dysmorphic features, and the closure of the anterior fontanel was delayed until the age of 4 years.

Leucine, isoleucine, and valine are collectively known as branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) and are often discussed in the same physiological and pathological situations. The two consecutive initial reactions of BCAA catabolism are catalyzed by the common enzymes referred to as branched chain aminotransferase (BCAT) and branched chain α-keto acid dehydrogenase (BCKDH). BCAT transfers the amino group of BCAAs to 2-ketoglutarate, which results in corresponding branched chain 2-keto acids (BCKAs) and glutamate.

The Komodo dragon () is the largest extant lizard and is classified as an endangered species. Despite its rarity, anatomical studies on this species remain limited, hindering a comprehensive understanding of its biology and evolutionary traits. This research presents a detailed anatomical and histological examination of the pelvic limb of a female Komodo dragon, providing valuable insights into the musculoskeletal system of this species.
