  • - Orofacial clefts (OFCs) are the second most prevalent birth defect globally, caused by a mix of genetic and environmental factors.
  • - The study analyzed the relationship between specific genetic variants (SNPs) and non-syndromic OFCs in a Polish sample of 209 affected individuals and 418 healthy controls.
  • - A significant link was found between the rs7078 SNP and the likelihood of OFCs, while other SNPs (rs1081131, rs13041247, rs3769817) showed no significant correlation.

Article Abstract

Orofacial clefts (OFCs) are the second most common birth defect worldwide. The etiology of OFCs involves complex interactions between genetics and environment. Advances in genomic technologies have identified gene variants associated with OFCs. This study aimed to investigate whether selected SNPs in the , , , and genes influence the occurrence of non-syndromic OFCs in the Polish population. The study included 209 individuals with non-syndromic OFCs and 418 healthy controls. Saliva and umbilical cord blood samples were collected for DNA extraction. Four SNPs in the , , , and genes were genotyped using real-time PCR-based TaqMan assays. Statistical analysis was performed using logistic regression to assess the association between SNPs and OFCs. A significant association was found between the rs7078 CC polymorphism and OFCs (OR = 3.22, CI 1.68-6.17, < 0.001). No significant associations were identified for the rs1081131, rs13041247, and rs3769817 polymorphisms. The research indicates that the rs7078 polymorphism significantly influences the occurrence of orofacial cleft palate in the Polish population, whereas the rs3769817, rs1801131, and rs13041247 SNPs do not show such a correlation.

Objective: The aim was to establish the validity and reliability of the English version of MisoQuest, a 14-item misophonia questionnaire initially validated in the Polish language.

Design: Reliability was examined through internal consistency, measurement error, and test-retest reliability. Validity was evaluated with confirmatory factor analysis, convergent, and discriminant validity.

Purpose: Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental condition that affects approximately 5% of the pediatric population, with increased prevalence among those with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Reports suggest that unrecognized and untreated ADHD impairs T1D control and that ADHD may be underdiagnosed in the Polish population. The International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes recommends neurodevelopmental assessments in children with T1D, but specific guidelines on procedures and implementation are lacking.

Small ruminant lentiviruses (SRLVs) infect sheep, causing a multiorganic disease called maedi-visna or ovine progressive pneumonia, which significantly affects the production and welfare of sheep, generating serious economic losses. Although not all infected animals develop fully symptomatic disease, they constantly spread the virus in the flock. Since the infection is incurable and no vaccine is available, another approach is necessary to control SRLV infections.

: The Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) is a 10-item self-report measure of two emotion regulation strategies, cognitive reappraisal (CR) and expressive suppression (ES). This study aimed to (1) examine the latent structure of the Polish version of the ERQ, and (2) use it to explore different profiles of emotion regulation strategy use and their links with mental health outcomes. : Our sample was 1197 Polish-speaking adults from the general community in Poland.

Myo-inositol plays a vital role in human health, functioning as a second messenger of FSH and facilitating the transport of glucose into the cell. Consequently, myo-inositol is regularly utilized in the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), wherein it acts upon metabolic factors, improving insulin sensitivity and reducing total androgen levels. Patients with PCOS frequently suffer from infertility; thus, the use of myo-inositol has been explored in improving assistive reproductive technique (ART) procedures.
