Abstract
Epigenetic mechanisms play an important role in the early stages of carcinogenesis. Moringa isothiocyanate (MIC-1) is a major bioactive component derived from Moringa oleifera that has considerable antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. However, how MIC-1 influences epigenomic alterations in TPA-mediated JB6 cell carcinogenic transformation has not been evaluated. In this study, DNA and RNA isolated from TPA-induced JB6 cells in the presence or absence of MIC-1 were subjected to DNA Methyl-seq and RNA-seq to identify differentially methylated regions (DMRs) and differentially expressed genes (DEGs), respectively. When JB6 cells were challenged with TPA alone, there was a significant alteration of DEGs and DMRs; importantly, MIC-1 treatment reversed the patterns of some of the DEGs and DMRs. Transcriptome and CpG methylome profiling was performed in Ingenuity® Pathway Analysis (IPA) software to analyze the altered signaling pathways. Several anti-inflammatory responses, antioxidative stress-related pathways, and anticancer-related pathways were identified to be affected by MIC-1. These pathways included NF-kB, IL-1, LPS/IL-1-mediated inhibition of RXR function, Nrf2-mediated oxidative stress response, p53, and PTEN signaling pathways. Examination of correlations between transcriptomic and CpG methylome profiles yielded a small subset of genes, including the cancer-related genes Tmpt, Tubb3, and Muc2; the GTPases Gchfr and Igtp; and the cell cycle-related gene Cdc7. Taken together, our results show the potential contributions of epigenomic changes in DNA CpG methylation to gene expression to molecular pathways active in TPA-induced JB6 cells and demonstrate that MIC-1 can reverse these changes, supporting the potential preventive/treatment effects of MIC-1 against skin carcinogenesis.

Abstract
Of individuals with Amyoplasia, 16.8% (94/560) involve only the upper limbs (Upper Limb Amyoplasia-ULA) and 15.2% (85/560) involve only the lower limbs (Lower Limb Amyoplasia-LLA). The accompanying paper deals with other forms of Amyoplasia [Hall et al., 2013] and discusses etiology. An excess of one of monozygotic (MZ) twins is seen in both groups (ULA 4/94 (4.3%), LLA 5/85 (5.9%)), gastrointestinal (GI) abnormalities thought to be of vascular origin (bowel atresia and gastroschisis) (ULA 16/94 (17%), LLA 4/85 (4.7%)), small or partial absence of digits (ULA 6/94 (6.2%), LLA 8/85 (9.4%)), and umbilical cord wrapping around the limbs at birth (ULA 3/94 (3.2%), LLA 7/85 (8.2%)) (severe enough to leave a permanent groove). Pregnancy complications occurred in 42/60 (70%) of ULA and 36/54 (67%) of LLA. Prenatal diagnosis, after ultrasound usage became routine, occurred in only 7/25 (28%) of ULA and 5/12 (12%) of LLA. This series may represent an over estimate of the complications and associations occurring in ULA and LLA. Differential diagnoses separating LLA from the genetic forms of "lower limb only" arthrogryposis and ULA from "upper limb only" genetic forms of arthrogryposis and Erb's palsy is provided.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The retinoic acid (RA)-catabolizing enzyme Cyp26a1 plays an important role in protecting tailbud tissues from inappropriate exposure to RA. Cyp26a1-null animals exhibit caudal agenesis and spina bifida, imperforate anus, agenesis of the caudal portions of the digestive and urogenital tracts, and malformed lumbosacral skeletal elements. This phenotype closely resembles the most severe form of caudal agenesis in humans. In view of these findings, we investigated a potential involvement of the human CYP26A1 gene in the pathogenesis of caudal regression syndrome (CRS). METHODS Mutational screening of 49 CRS patients and 132 controls was performed using denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography and sequencing. Differences in the genotype and allele frequency of each SNP were evaluated by chi(2) analysis. The biological significance of the intronic variants was investigated by transfection assays of mutant constructs and by analysis of the splicing patterns with RT-PCR. RESULTS Mutational screening allowed us to identify 6 SNPs, 4 of which (447 C>G, 1134 G>A, IVS 1+10 G>C, and IVS 4+8 AG>GA) are new. In addition, we describe a novel 2-site haplotype consisting of the 2 intronic SNPs. Both single-locus and haplotype analyses revealed no association with increased risk for CRS. The consequences of the 2 intronic polymorphisms on the mRNA splicing process were also investigated. Moreover, using functional and computational methods we demonstrated that both of these intronic polymorphisms affect the intron splicing efficiency. CONCLUSIONS Our research did not provide evidence that CYP26A1 has implications for the pathogenesis of human CRS. However, the relationship between CRS risk and the CYP26A1 genotype requires further study with a larger number of genotyped subjects.

Abstract
Heterotaxy results from failure of the developing embryo to establish normal left-right asymmetry. Typical manifestations include abnormal symmetry and malposition of the thoraco-abdominal organs and vessels, complex congenital heart disease and extracardiac defects involving midline-associated structures. The spleen is almost always affected, and there is syndromic clustering of the malformations corresponding to the type of splenic abnormality present. This review outlines the embryologic and genetic background of the heterotaxy syndrome as well as the characteristic anatomic features, clinical manifestations, and diagnostic clues of its two main presentations with asplenia or polysplenia.

Abstract
Many internal organs in the vertebrate body are asymmetrically oriented along the left-right (L-R) body axis. Organ asymmetry and some components of the molecular signaling pathways that direct L-R development are highly conserved among vertebrate species. Although individuals with full reversal of organ L-R asymmetry (situs inversus totalis) are healthy, significant morbidity and mortality is associated with perturbations in laterality that result in discordant orientation of organ systems and complex congenital heart defects. In humans and other vertebrates, genetic alterations of L-R signaling pathways can result in a wide spectrum of laterality defects. In this review we categorize laterality defects in humans, mice, and zebrafish into specific classes based on altered patterns of asymmetric gene expression, organ situs defects, and midline phenotypes. We suggest that this classification system provides a conceptual framework to help consolidate the disparate laterality phenotypes reported in humans and vertebrate model organisms, thereby refining our understanding of the genetics of L-R development. This approach helps suggest candidate genes and genetic pathways that might be perturbed in human laterality disorders and improves diagnostic criteria.

Abstract
Lateralization defect is a heterogeneous condition with different modes of transmission (autosomal recessive, dominant or X-linked). Here, we report on 3 additional families that contribute to the description of phenotypic anomalies of the autosomal dominant type. Phenotypic anomalies include: lateralization defects, cardiac malformations, diaphragmatic hernia, urologic and neurologic anomalies. We suggest calling this sequence BGD1 for blastogenesis dominant 1 because the deleterious effect probably occurs during blastogenesis and involves not only lateralization but other defects as well.

Abstract
Opitz [BD:OAS XXIX(1):3-37, 1993] has postulated that during early blastogenesis the entire embryo represents a single morphogenetic unit, the primary field. During this period, beginning gastrulation, the most important events are the formation of the midline and the mesoderm. Consequently, one could expect that dysmorphogenetic reactions of the primary field are likely to disturb more than one of the essential events of blastogenesis, such as fusion, lateralization, decussation, segmentation, morphogenetic movements, asymmetry formation, etc. I have used the 20,891 liveborn malformed infants identified by the Spanish Collaborative Study of Congenital Malformations (ECEMC) to analyze the concept of the primary field defect (DFD). The malformed children were separated into 4,679 children with only midline defects, 1,592 children with midline plus other non-midline anomalies, and 14,620 babies without midline defects. Sex, twinning, neonatal death, parental consanguinity, and other malformed first degree relatives in the family were analyzed in each group. Different defects were selected as indicators of specific morphogenetic events of blastogenesis. Cardiac and neural tube defect were selected as indicators of fusion anomalies; agenesis/hypoplasia of the corpus callosum were included as example of decussation defect; cyclopia as representation of the alteration of lateralization; vertebral defects as indicators of anomalies of segmentation; intestinal malrotation and omphalocele as representatives of the alteration of the morphogenetic movement; and, finally, infants with asplenia, polysplenia, dextrocardias, transposition of great vessels, visceral transposition, and situs inversus totalis were grouped to allow an analysis of alteration of the normal body asymmetry.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Lubinsky [Am J Med Genet 3:23-28, 1987] has suggested that the properties of the midline involve early determinative informational processes and are related to the midline's position and definition of the body's plane of symmetry. Opitz [Am J Med Genet 21:175-176, 1985, BD: OAS XXIX(1):3-37 1993] has pointed out that the laterality sequences represent a midline developmental field complex. Thus, bilateral left-sidedness (with asplenia) and bilateral right-sidedness (with asplenia) have been considered laterality sequences or syndromes if cause is known. Using the malformed infants registered by the Spanish Collaborative Study of Congenital Malformations (ECEMC), we performed a clinical/epidemiological analysis of the relationship between midline defects and alteration of normal body asymmetry and symmetry. The results support the assumption that both conditions could be consequence of disturbances in the midline primary developmental field.

Abstract
X-linked laterality sequence (XLLS) consists of situs inversus, complex cardiac defects, and alterations in the development of the spleen. We describe a family in which two male cousins had XLLS with caudal manifestations. In our family, the obligate carrier females had uterine septum and hypertelorism, which may be gene carrier manifestations.
