AKT1 -related Proteus syndrome is an ultra-rare mosaic overgrowth disorder with tumour predisposition. We conducted a systematic review to determine the range and characteristics of these tumours. A systematic review was conducted to identify clinical reports and clinical series of Proteus syndrome published between 1983 and 2023. Affected individuals were selected based on existing Proteus ...

Background Pathogenic variants in TGFB3 may lead to a syndromic genetic aortopathy. Heritable thoracic aortic disease (HTAD) and arterial events may occur in TGFB3 -related disease but there are limited outcomes data on vascular events in this condition. Methods Clinical data, phenotypical features and aortic outcomes in individuals with pathogenic/likely pathogenic (P/LP) TGFB3 variants ...

We begin 2025 by looking back at the contribution of Charis Eng, a distinguished cancer geneticist and former North American editor of the Journal of Medical Genetics ( JMG ). In this issue, readers will find an obituary written by former coeditors and colleagues.1 In addition, the second invited commentary in our Six at Sixty series2 focuses on a paper coauthored by Charis Eng and published ...

Feb 11, 2025 · An exciting new partnership will strengthen the exchange of knowledge and innovation in genetic and genomic medicine; As of 1 January 2025, the Journal of Medical Genetics (JMG) has become the official journal of the British Society for Genetic Medicine (BSGM).This collaboration will enhance the dissemination of clinical advancements and research to a broad international audience.

Background Pathogenic variants in the DMD gene are associated with dystrophinopathy including Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD/BMD). Targeted DMD gene, gene panels, exomes and genome sequencing have advanced genetic diagnostics, yet some cases remain elusive. Methods We performed total RNA sequencing (RNAseq) on muscle biopsy from 13 male patients with a clinical diagnosis of DMD/BMD.

Inbreeding has been shown in almost all species to be associated with impairment of function because of homozygosity of recessive alleles. This occurs across a wide range of traits and suggests a large number of deleterious alleles in the human genome. This has been predicted from the reduced early survival of offspring in first cousin marriages and from similar results in other organisms.1 ...
