Most human birth defects are highly variable. Our ability to diagnose, treat and prevent defects relies on our understanding of this variability. Mutation of the transcription factor GATA3 in humans causes the highly variable Hypoparathyroidism, sensorineural Deafness and Renal dysplasia (HDR) syndrome. Although named for a triad of defects patients with HDR can also exhibit craniofacial defects. Through a forward genetic screen for craniofacial mutants, we isolated a zebrafish mutant in which the first cysteine of the second zinc finger of Gata3 is mutated. Because mutation of the homolgous cysteine causes HDR in humans, these zebrafish mutants will be a rapid and effective animal model for understanding the role of gata3 in the HDR disease spectrum. We demonstrate that, unexpectedly, the chaperone proteins Ahsa1 and Hsp90 promote severe craniofacial phenotypes in our zebrafish model of HDR Syndrome. The strengths of the zebrafish system, including rapid development, genetic tractability and ...

Frontonasal dysplasia is a condition that results from abnormal development of the head and face before birth. People with frontonasal dysplasia have at least two of the following features: widely spaced eyes (ocular hypertelorism); a broad nose; a slit (cleft) in one or both sides of the nose; no nasal tip; a central cleft involving the nose, upper lip, or roof of the mouth (palate); incomplete formation of the front of the skull with skin covering the head where bone should be (anterior cranium bifidum occultum); or a widow's peak hairline.. Other features of frontonasal dysplasia can include additional facial malformations, absence or malformation of the tissue that connects the left and right halves of the brain (the corpus callosum), and intellectual disability.. There are at least three types of frontonasal dysplasia that are distinguished by their genetic causes and their signs and symptoms. In addition to the features previously described, each type of frontonasal dysplasia is associated ...

The Childhood Arthritis & Rheumatology Research Alliance (CARRA) began in 2000 as a grassroots initiative among a small number of pediatric rheumatologists in the U.S. and Canada seeking to establish an inclusive, collaborative research network. The overall mission and supporting guiding principles that outlined scientific, leadership and operational elements were crafted at a meeting in 2001, and the initial scientific agenda and criteria for studies to be undertaken by the network were established in 2002.. CARRA was envisioned as a network that would enable widespread research participation, thereby ensuring the future of academic pediatric rheumatology, which was endangered at the time. Three crucial components were identified at the meeting that continue to form the bedrock of the current organization:. ...

Dentin hypersensitivity (DH) is a common problem encountered in clinical practice. The purpose of this study was to identify the management approaches for DH among United States dentists. One hundred eighty five National Dental Practice-Based Research Network clinicians completed a questionnaire regarding their preferred methods to diagnose and manage DH in the practice setting, and their beliefs about DH predisposing factors. Almost all dentists (99%) reported using more than one method to diagnose DH. Most frequently, they reported using spontaneous patient reports coupled with excluding other causes of oral pain by direct clinical examination (48%); followed by applying an air blast (26%), applying cold water (12%), and obtaining patient reports after dentist's query (6%). In managing DH, the most frequent first choice was desensitizing, over-the-counter (OTC), potassium nitrate toothpaste (48%), followed by fluorides (38%), and glutaraldehyde/HEMA (3%). A total of 86% of respondents reported using a

The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research of the National Institutes of Health indicates that 10.8 million people in the United States suffer from temporomandibular joint (TMJ) problems at any given time. While both men and women experience Temporomandibular joint problems, 90% of those seeking treatment are women in their childbearing years.. Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD) are one of the many causes of headache, facial pain, neck pain, and related symptoms. The Temporomandibular joint differs from any other joints in the body in that it has a hinge action similar to the movements of the knees, and a sliding action similar to movements of the wrists.. To locate the Temporomandibular joint, place your fingers on each side of your face, just in front of your ears and gently open and close your mouth. Upon opening the mouth, the rounded end of bone at the top of the lower jaw, known as the condyle, will glide along a groove in the bone on the temple area (known as the ...

Objectives: Longitudinal studies considering social disparities in the utilization of dental services are scarce. Repeated measures should be accounted for by the use of appropriate statistical methods. The purpose of this study was first to describe the patterns of less frequent dental attendance (less than once a year) over time from the age of 65-70 in Norwegian and Swedish 1942 cohorts. Second, this study estimated the influence of predisposing, enabling and need-related social predictors using marginal model with robust variance estimators and random intercept model, RIM, to account for the clustered structure of the repeated observations. Third, the study aimed to compare the estimates of associations between social predictors and less frequent dental attendance derived from marginal and random intercept models.. Methods: In 2007 and 2012, all residents born in 1942 in selected counties of Norway and Sweden were invited to participate in a questionnaire survey. In Norway, the response rate ...

Exciting opportunity in Washington, DC for American Dental Education Association as a Director, Diversity, Equity and Inclusive Learning

About 20% of cases of fibrous dysplasias are polyostotic. In polyostotic fibrous dysplasia, the distribution of lesions is unilateral in up to 90% of cases; monomelic and widespread distribution are less frequent. Most bony lesions occur in the lower extremities, including the pelvis, legs, and feet. Rib, spine, or skull lesions are also often seen. Common deformities include leg-length discrepancy (lesions are in the longer leg) and bowing of the weight-bearing bones due to the weakened structural integrity of the bone. This bowing phenomenon can lead to a varus angulation of the proximal femur, the shephard's crook deformity.. The polyosttotic form is associated with McCune-Albright syndrome - sexual precocity in girls, polyostotic fibrous dysplasia, and cafe-au-lait spots with serpiginous borders ("rocky coast of Maine"). Up to 30% of women with polyostotic fibrous dysplasia may have the full spectrum of the McCune-Albright syndrome.. The clinical course ranges from asymptomatic to multiple ...

Oculodentodigital dysplasia (ODDD) is caused by mutations in the GJA1 gene, which encodes Gap junction alpha-1 protein also known as connexin-43. The majority of cases are autosomal dominant (MIM 164200), but ODDD can also be autosomal recessive (MIM 257850). ODDD is characterized by abnormalities of the face, eyes, dentination, and digits of hands and feet. Typical findings include long, narrow nose, hypoplastic nasal alae, microcornea, microphthalmia, short palpebral fissures, cataract, iris anomalies, and syndactyly of 4th - 5th fingers. Additional findings may include cardiac defects, conductive hearing loss, anomalies of the skin, hair and nails, and neurological manifestations such as paraparesis, ataxia, spasticity, dysarthria, seizures and neurogenic bladder.. Autosomal recessive mutations in the GJA1 gene can also cause hypoplastic left heart syndrome 1 (HLHS1; MIM 241550), which results from defective development of the aorta proximal to the entrance of the ductus arteriosus. ...

McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS) is a rare, heterogenous, clinical condition caused by a rare genetic mutation. The disorder is more common in females and is characterized by a triad of cutaneous, bone and endocrine abnormalities. We describe a girl patient with MAS having precocious puberty and multiple cafe-au-lait macules and deforming polyostotic fibrous dysplasia of bone. Clinical presentation and X-ray finding were strongly diagnostic for MAS, Patients with McCune-Albright syndrome reach the adult age with a significant burden of the disease that continuously reduces their quality of life. Skeletal deformities, fractures, hyperthyroidism, and hyperestrogenism are just few of the many challenges in the management of these patients. These disorders with close observation and early detection can be controlled.

What is needed to take this forward?. Essential to the development of practice-based research networks in Australia is commitment and funding from the Department of Health and Ageing. A national research network was mentioned in the evaluation of the first phase of the PHCRED Strategy,6 but without a clear rationale for what such a network would do. As stated above, we believe practice-based research networks are vital to the capacity to conduct larger-scale clinical, epidemiological and health-services research to answer questions of relevance to the health of the Australian community. Given the focus of the Research Capacity Building Initiative on building a sustainable workforce, and the focus of the Australian Primary Health Care Research Institute (APHCRI) on policy-relevant health-services research, we believe that clinical research needs greater support; practice-based research networks are an important facilitating structure. While the hub-and-spoke model of APHCRI-funded projects is ...

The joints between the craniofacial bones (sutures) are vital for proper brain and craniofacial development and have recently been identified as a niche for stem cells. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Birth Defects Study has published data suggesting that "environmental" exposures including maternal thyroid diseases, maternal nicotine use, and use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) in pregnant mothers may exacerbate incidence and or severity of craniofacial anomalies including craniosynostosis. Craniosynostosis is a birth defect defined as the premature fusion of the suture(s) of the skull occurring in 1:1800-2500 births. A proposed mechanism of craniosynostosis is the disruption of the balance of proliferation and differentiation of cells in the perisutural area leading to bone overgrowth. The newly identified stem cell population characterized as Gli1+ may be the target of pharmacological exposures that result in aberrant craniofacial growth. For these ...

Facial features of children with Smith-Magenis syndrome include a broad and square face, deep-set eyes, large cheeks, and a prominent jaw, as well as a flat nose bridge (in the young child; as the child ages it becomes more ski-jump shaped). Eyes tend to be deep-set and appear close together there is also a slant upwards. Eyebrows are heavy with lateral extension. The mouth is the most noticeable feature, both upper and lower lips are full, the mouth is wide. The mouth curves downwards and the upper lip curves outwards, due to a fleshy philtrum. These facial features become more noticeable as the individual ages, as Mandible growth outstrips that of the maxilla leading to a clear midface hypoplasia. There is also a mild brachycephaly.[3]. Disrupted sleep patterns are characteristic of Smith-Magenis syndrome, typically beginning early in life. Affected people may be very sleepy during the day, but have trouble falling asleep and awaken several times each night, due to an inverted circadian rhythm ...

Mutations in the pyrophosphate (PPi) transporter ANKH cause the autosomal dominant form of craniometaphyseal dysplasia (CMD), a rare disorder characterized by hyperostosis of craniofacial bones and widened metaphyses in long bones. We have generated a knock-in (KI) mouse model expressing a deletion mutation (Phe377del) in the Ank gene, the most common mutation found in our CMD patients. AnkKI/KI mice replicate many CMD features including increased radiopacity of craniofacial bones; undertrabeculated metaphyses in club-shaped femurs; narrowing of cranial neural foramina; fusion of middle ear bones. In vivo skeletal analyses show that AnkKI/KI mice have increased osteoblast and ostseoclast numbers, increased bone turnover serum markers, however, no changes in bone formation and mineral apposition rate.
