![]() ![]() We describe rare and novel fetal anomaly syndromes and highlight the diagnostic utility of ES, but also its contribution to discovery. We identified variants likely causal after clinical and functional review (SMAD3, KIF4A, and PIGW) and propose novel candidate genes (PTK7, DNHD1, and TTC28) for early human developmental disease supported by functional and cross-species phenotyping evidence. Candidate variants were identified in 12 families (63%) in 6 of them a definite diagnosis was achieved including known or novel variants in recognized disease genes (MKS1, OTX2, FGFR2, and RYR1) and variants in novel disease genes describing new fetal phenotypes (CENPF, KIF14). We employed ES in a cohort of 19 families with one or more fetuses presenting with a distinctive anomaly pattern and/or phenotype recurrence at increased risk for lethal outcomes. Our objective was to use exome sequencing (ES) to increase our knowledge on causal variants and novel candidate genes associated with specific fetal phenotypes. ![]() The monogenic etiology of most severe fetal anomaly syndromes is poorly understood. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() Determined to make sure everyone has the perfect last trip, Harriet and Wyn resolve to fake their relationship for the week. ![]() Telling the truth about their breakup is out of the question, because the cottage is up for sale, and this is the group’s last hurrah. But (surprise!) Wyn is there too, and he and Harriet have to share a (very romantic) room and a bed. She’s ready for a vacation at her happy place-the Maine cottage she and her friends visit every summer. So they keep it a secret from their friends and families-in fact, Harriet barely even admits it to herself, focusing instead on her grueling hours as a surgical resident. They’ve been part of the same boisterous friend group since college, and they know that their breakup will devastate the others and make things more than a little awkward. Wyn Connor and Harriet Kilpatrick were the perfect couple-until Wyn dumped Harriet for reasons she still doesn’t fully understand. Exes pretend they’re still together for the sake of their friends on their annual summer vacation. ![]() ![]() ![]() Instead of telling them in words, I told them in pictures. All those facts - who cared what the principal products of Chile were? To me, writing reports was almost as boring as math.ĭespite my dislike of writing, I loved to make up stories. Requirements such as outlines, perfect penmanship, and following directions killed my interest in putting words on paper. I loved to read and draw but I hated writing reports. In elementary school, I was known as the class artist. In the summer, we went on day long expeditions into forbidden territory - the woods on the other side of the train tracks, the creek that wound its way through College Park, and the experimental farm run by the University of Maryland. We spent hours outdoors playing "Kick the Can" and "Mother, May I" as well as cowboy and outlaw games that usually ended in quarrels about who shot whom. ![]() I grew up in a small shingled house down at the end of Guilford Road in College Park, Maryland. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In 1978 he was awarded his doctorate degree in English and American Literature from Brandeis.
