2. <i>POLR1A</i> variants underlie phenotypic heterogeneity in craniofacial, neural, and cardiac anomalies

   AMERICAN JOURNAL OF HUMAN GENETICS, v.110, n.5, p.809-825, 2023

   Heterozygous pathogenic variants in POLR1A, which encodes the largest subunit of RNA Polymerase I, were previously identified as the cause of acrofacial dysostosis, Cincinnati-type. The predominant phenotypes observed in the cohort of 3 individuals were craniofacial anomalies reminiscent of Treac...

3. Small and large bowel anatomy is associated with enteral autonomy in infants with short bowel syndrome: A retrospective cohort study
