Genotype–phenotype correlations and novel molecular insights into the DHX30-associated neurodevelopmental disorders

We aimed to define the clinical and variant spectrum and to provide novel molecular insights into the DHX30-associated neurodevelopmental disorder. Clinical and genetic data from affected individuals were collected through Facebook-based family support group, GeneMatcher, and our network of collaborators.

Interpretation of urinary 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine is adversely affected by methodological inaccuracies when using a commercial ELISA

The DNA lesion 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG), a urinary marker of oxidative stress, is produced from reactions of reactive oxygen

The transient value of classifying preschool wheeze into episodic viral wheeze and multiple trigger wheeze

A recently proposed method for classifying preschool wheeze is to describe it as either episodic (viral) wheeze or multiple trigger wheeze.

Apolipoprotein E genotype is associated with serum C-reactive protein but not abdominal aortic aneurysm

We assessed the association between ApoE genotype with AAA presence and growth, and serum C-reactive protein (CRP).
