The integration of genetic information in current clinical routine has raised a need for tools to exploit family genetic knowledge. On the clinical side, an application for managing and visualizing pedigree diagrams could provide genetics specialists...
The potential for genetic discovery in human DNA sequencing studies is greatly diminished if DNA samples from a cohort are mislabeled, swapped, or contaminated or if they include unintended individuals. Unfortunately, the potential for such errors is...
Adenocarcinomas of Vater's papilla (PVAC) may originate from either the pancreatic duct or the intestinal epithelium. Conflicting data have been reported about the frequency of the 2 anatomical entities and their influence on patients' prognosis. To ...
Intracoronal resorption of the permanent dentition in cases of amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a rare finding which poses an added complication to the already complex management of this condition. This paper presents three cases of AI associated with...
