Oral malformation with complete maxillomandibular bone fusion (Congenital Syngnathia)
We present an unusual case of fetal facial malformation in a 28 year old woman with no significant family or personal medical history. The patient came to the hospital in the week 35  + 1 with premature rupturing of the membrane. The gestation was terminated with a cesarean section because of the risk of fetal suffering. On delivery facial malformation was observed including fused lips, the presence of bilateral mouth corners and respiratory difficulty. An incision was made in the fused lips which revealed complete maxillomandibular bone fusion. (Source: Taiwanese Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology)

Associations between a single nucleotide polymorphism of stress-induced phosphoprotein 1 and endometriosis/adenomyosis
We have recently reported that stress-induced phosphoprotein 1 (STIP1) is over-expressed in endometriosis/adenomyosis tissues. STIP1 may also be involved in immune regulation, thus we attempted to study the association between STIP1 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and endometriosis/adenomyosis.

Clinical and genetic-epigenetic aspects of recurrent hydatidiform mole: A review of literature
Hydatidiform Mole (HM) is the most common form of Gestational Trophoblastic Disease (GTD), defined by hyper-proliferation of trophoblastic cells. HM is typified as abnormal proliferation of extraembryonic trophoblastic (placental) tissues and failure of embryonic tissues development and is the only GTD with Mendelian inheritance, which can reoccur in different pregnancies. Moles are categorized into Complete Hydatidiform Moles (CHM) or Partial Hydatidiform Moles (PHM) and a rare familial trait, which forms a CHM and despite having androgenetic pattern, shows normal biparental inheritance, conceived from one sperm and egg. ...
