Otopalatodigital syndrome spectrum disorders are caused by Filamin A (FLNA) gene mutations. Otopalatodigital syndrome spectrum disorders are a group of rare congenital skeletal dysplasia, with specific craniomaxillofacial features including otopalatodigital syndrome type 1 and type 2, Melnick-Needles syndrome, frontometaphyseal dysplasia, terminal osseous dysplasia with pigmentary defects. The authors describe cases of a young girl with Melnick-Needles syndrome and a young boy with frontometaphyseal dysplasia treated in the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department. Both patients had FLNA gene mutation confirmed with molecular genetic analysis. The authors proposed a 4 step treatment of the malformations with good outcomes both aesthetically and functionally, without complication.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and fronto-temporal dementia (FTD) are part of a spectrum of diseases that share several causative genes, resulting in a combinatory of motor and cognitive symptoms and abnormal protein aggregation. Multiple unbiased studies have revealed that proteostasis impairment at the level of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a transversal pathogenic feature of ALS/FTD. The transcription factor XBP1s is a master regulator of the unfolded protein response (UPR), the main adaptive pathway to cope with ER stress.

Background: Multiple studies have demonstrated associations between psychiatric conditions and Parkinson's disease (PD) development; fewer have examined psychotic-spectrum disorders and PD development.
Objective: The objective was to assess the prevalence of psychotic-spectrum disorders with and without depression and anxiety preceding a PD diagnosis.
Methods: In this retrospective, case-control study of adults > 60 years of age, cases were identified by PD diagnosis and controls were identified in a 3:1 ratio by ambulatory encounter from 2015 to 2020.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how childhood trauma affects brain connectivity in patients experiencing their first episode of psychosis compared to healthy controls.
- Higher scores of sexual abuse and emotional neglect from childhood trauma were linked to increased functional connectivity between specific brain regions (like the amygdala and prefrontal cortex) in these patients.
- The findings suggest that different types of childhood trauma have distinct long-term effects on brain function, highlighting the complex relationship between trauma and psychosis.

Background: Aarskog-Scott syndrome (AAS) is a rare condition with multiple congenital anomalies, caused by hemizygote variants in the gene. Its description was based mostly on old case reports, in whom a molecular diagnosis was not always available, or on small series. The aim of this study was to better delineate the phenotype and the natural history of AAS and to provide clues for the diagnosis and the management of the patients.
