Variable Clinical Features in a Large Family With Diamond Blackfan Anemia Caused by a Pathogenic Missense Mutation in RPS19
Discussion: This large family with DBA demonstrates the heterogeneity of phenotypes that can be seen within the same genotype. Most family members presented with steroid-responsive anemia in infancy and subtle congenital malformations, findings consistent with recent genotype-phenotype studies of RPS DBA. However, two family members were relatively unaffected, underscoring the importance of further studies to assess modifier genes, and epigenetic and/or environmental factors which may result in normal erythropoiesis despite underlying ribosome dysfunction. This large, multigenerational family highlights the need for indivi...

Can Quantitative Muscle Strength and Functional Motor Ability Differentiate the Influence of Age and Corticosteroids in Ambulatory Boys with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy?
Conclusion The baseline data analysis of this natural history study indicates that the outcomes measures utilized in this study were sensitive to the age related differences in strength and motor function that are characteristic of disease progression boys with DMD; however treatment effects were less likely to be identified. These findings reflect the difficulty inherent in obtaining the statistical power needed to substantiate intervention efficacy in the small, heterogeneous samples sizes that are characteristic of DMD clinical studies. Isokinetic dynamometry revealed variability in the muscles affected, which has been ...
