In Brief: This manuscript was prepared from presentations given at the ESPE New Inroads for Child Health (NICHe) conference held in May 2009 in Marstrand, Sweden. It reviewed the concept of plasticity in developmental programming and evidence for the role of epigenetic mechanisms. It became widely accepted as a leading reference on this topic with currently >750 citations in Google Scholar.Comment: Zeev Hochberg had a brilliant, creative mind. ...

PMID: 32273272TransientNeonatalDiabetes (TNDM) develops in the first six months of life, and then remits only to relapse again during adolescence and adulthood. The three main genetic causes of TNDM are: 1) 6q24 abnormalities, 2) activating mutations in genes encoding the ATP-sensi...

PMID 31700171.These authors sequenced the gene for melanocortin-2 receptor accessory protein (MRAP2 ) in 9418 blood DNA samples from several population studies. They detected 23 rare heterozygous variants, which were significantly associated with an increased risk of obesity (OR 3.8 in children and 2.9 in adults)....

To read the full abstract: EMBO Mol Med 2018;e9569:118TUBB1 encodes a member of the beta-tubulin protein family. Beta-tubulins and alpha-tubulins form dimers, which assemble into microtubules belonging to the intracellular cytoskeleton structure.The authors identified three different mutations in TUBB1 by whole exome sequencing in a large co...
