Digenic impairments of haploinsufficient genes in patients with craniosynostosis.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Craniosynostosis (CRS) is characterized by the development of abnormal cranial suture ossification and premature fusion. Despite the identification of several associated genetic disorders, the genetic determinants of CRS remain poorly understood. In this study, we conducted integrative analyses on 225 exomes, comprising 121 CRS probands and 104 parental exomes (52 trios). These analyses encompassed de novo and pathogenic variants, and digenic combinations within haploinsufficient genes harboring rare variants. Our analysis unveils a shared molecular network between genes associated with CRS and those linked to skeletal and neurodevelopmental disorders, with a notable enrichment of deleterious variants within haploinsufficient genes. Additionally, we identified a unique digenic pair (IL6ST and TRPS1) within haploinsufficient genes that was present in 2 patients with nonsyndromic CRS but absent in parents or 1,048 population controls. In vitro experiments provided evidence that the identified missense variants were hypomorphs, and accelerated bone mineralization could result from the additive effects of diminished IL6ST and TRPS1 activities in osteoblasts. Overall, our study underscores the important role of rare variations in haploinsufficient genes and suggests that in a subset of undiagnosed patients, the CRS phenotype may arise from multiple genetic variations.
