Article Synopsis
  • The DYNC2H1 gene is linked to short-rib polydactyly syndrome (SRPS) and other skeletal ciliopathies, with two unique cases highlighting distinct phenotypes caused by splicing variants.
  • The first case involved a 14-week-old fetus with severe malformations and two compound heterozygous variants that were initially uncertain but later deemed likely pathogenic after further testing.
  • The second case presented an 11-year-old boy with various physical abnormalities and identified variants in DYNC2H1, underscoring the gene's role in conditions like SRPS and orofaciodigital syndrome, enhancing understanding of splicing variants' impacts.

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are typically prescribed for treating major depressive disorder (MDD) due to their high efficacy. These drugs function by inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin [also termed 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)], which raises the levels of 5-HT in the synaptic cleft, leading to prolonged activation of postsynaptic 5-HT receptors. Despite the therapeutic benefits of SSRIs, this mechanism of action also disturbs the neuroendocrine response.
