Background: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common genetic cause of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) and occurs without racial predilection. In general, non-White ESKD patients have less access to transplantation, especially living donor transplantation. We examined long-term outcomes of ADPKD-ESKD patients by self-reported race, with attention to the trajectory of Estimated Post-Transplant Survival (EPTS) scores over time.

Introduction: Marie-Unna hereditary hypotrichosis (MUHH) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by a specific pattern of hair loss. Initially described in 1925 by Marie-Unna in a German family spanning over seven generations, MUHH represents a previously unidentified form of congenital hypotrichosis. It typically presents as sparse hair at birth with a coarse texture, followed by regrowth during childhood then, finally, gradual hair loss at puberty, resembling pattern of androgenetic alopecia.

Background: Nineteen-year follow-up after initial examination on patients with Axenfeld-Rieger anomaly or syndrome (ARAS) and coexisting Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy (FED). All individuals had previously been tested positive for the PITX2 (g.20 913 G>T) mutation.

Loss of PKD2L1 expression results in seizure-susceptibility and autism-like features in mice, whereas variants in PKD2 cause autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. Despite decades of evidence clearly linking their dysfunction to human disease and demonstrating their physiological importance in the brain and kidneys, the polycystin pharmacophore remains undefined.

Neutrophil elastase () mutations are the most common cause of cyclic (CyN) and congenital neutropenia (SCN), two autosomal dominant disorders causing recurrent infections due to impaired neutrophil production. Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) corrects neutropenia but has adverse effects, including bone pain and in some cases, an increased risk of myelodysplasia (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is an alternative but is limited by its complications and donor availability.
