    Case Report: A Rare Case of Right-Sided Papillary Fibroelastoma in a 1-Year-Old With Congenital Heart Disease
    (Frontiers Media, 2021-01-27) Ahmad, Ali; El-Am, Edward A.; Kurmann, Reto D.; Hagler, Donald J.; Bois, Melanie C.; Maleszewski, Joseph J.; Klarich, Kyle W.; Medicine, School of Medicine
    Introduction: Cardiac papillary fibroelastomas (PFEs) are the most common primary benign cardiac tumors, although they are somewhat unusual in children and typically seen on the left-sided cardiac valves. Case summary: A 10-week-old patient was found to have a partial atrioventricular canal defect, with associated tricuspid and mitral regurgitation. He was medically managed until 1 year of age, when surgical correction was done. During the procedure, a PFE was found incidentally on the TV. Conclusion: This is one of the youngest patients to be reported with PFE, thus adding to the literature of these unusual cases in children.

    Little is known about how genetic variation contributes to neuroanatomical variability, and whether particular genomic regions comprising genes or evolutionarily conserved elements are enriched for effects that influence brain morphology. Here, we examine brain imaging and single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) data from ~2,700 individuals. We show that a substantial proportion of variation in cortical surface area is explained by additive effects of SNPs dispersed throughout the genome, with a larger heritable effect for visual and auditory sensory and insular cortices (h2~0.45). Genome-wide SNPs collectively account for, on average, about half of twin heritability across cortical regions (N=466 twins). We find enriched genetic effects in or near genes. We also observe that SNPs in evolutionarily more conserved regions contributed significantly to the heritability of cortical surface area, particularly, for medial and temporal cortical regions. SNPs in less conserved regions contributed more to occipital and dorsolateral prefrontal cortices.
