Background: Many vascular anomalies harbor postzygotic somatic variants in GNAQ and GNA11; however, the phenotype of specific G-protein variants has not been well described. We report the clinical characteristics of 17 patients with a GNA11 R183C variant.

Methods: This case series is derived from a multinational cohort of vascular anomaly patients whose pathogenic mutations were identified using high-depth next generation sequencing.

Introduction And Importance: Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis in children severely impacts mouth opening, orofacial growth, airway space, and overall quality of life. While costochondral grafts (CCG) are the gold standard for end-stage TMJ reconstruction in children, their unpredictable growth poses challenges, including potential overgrowth, undergrowth, resorption, and reankylosis. However, recent reports have suggested the feasibility of alloplastic TMJ in pediatric patients.

Background: Chromatinopathies are a heterogeneous group of genetic disorders caused by pathogenic variants in genes coding for chromatin state balance proteins. Remarkably, many of these syndromes present unbalanced postnatal growth, both under- and over-, although little has been described in the literature. Fetal growth measurements are common practice in pregnancy management and values within normal ranges indicate proper intrauterine growth progression; on the contrary, abnormalities in intrauterine fetal growth open the discussion of possible pathogenesis affecting growth even in the postnatal period.

Article Synopsis
  • The PI3K enzymes are important in regulating cell growth and differentiation, and variants in these enzymes are linked to cancer and related disorders.
  • Genetic variants in PI3K can lead to either undergrowth or overgrowth conditions, with differing impacts on protein interactions that influence cell activity.
  • The study uses molecular dynamics simulations to analyze these variants, revealing that variants causing undergrowth destabilize important protein interactions, while those linked to overgrowth enhance them, providing insights that could inform future therapies.

Comparing population-based fetal growth standards in a US cohort.

Am J Obstet Gynecol

September 2024

Epidemiology Branch, Division of Population Health Research, Division of Intramural Research, Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, Bethesda, MD. Electronic address:

Background: No fetal growth standard is currently endorsed for universal use in the United States. Newer standards improve upon the methodologic limitations of older studies; however, before adopting into practice, it is important to know how recent standards perform at identifying fetal undergrowth or overgrowth and at predicting subsequent neonatal morbidity or mortality in US populations.

Objective: To compare classification of estimated fetal weight that is <5th or 10th percentile or >90th percentile by 6 population-based fetal growth standards and the ability of these standards to predict a composite of neonatal morbidity and mortality.
