International research symposium on ankyloblepharon-ectodermal defects-cleft lip/palate (AEC) syndrome

Open access

Abstract

Ankyloblepharon‐ectodermal defects‐cleft lip/palate (AEC) syndrome (Hay–Wells syndrome, MIM #106220) is a rare autosomal dominant ectodermal dysplasia syndrome. It is due to mutations in the TP63 gene, known to be a regulatory gene with many downstream gene targets. TP63 is important in the differentiation and proliferation of the epidermis, as well as many other processes including limb and facial development. It is also known that mutations in TP63 lead to skin erosions. These erosions, especially on the scalp, are defining features of AEC syndrome and cause significant morbidity and mortality in these patients. It was this fact that led to the 2003 AEC Skin Erosion Workshop. That conference laid the groundwork for the International Research Symposium for AEC Syndrome held at Texas Children's Hospital in 2006. The conference brought together the largest cohort of individuals with AEC syndrome, along with a multitude of physicians and scientists. The overarching goals were to define the clinical and pathologic findings for improved diagnostic criteria, to obtain tissue samples for further study and to define future research directions. The symposium was successful in accomplishing these aims as detailed in this conference report. Following our report, we also present 11 manuscripts within this special section that outline the collective clinical, pathologic, and mutational data from 18 individuals enrolled in the concurrent Baylor College of Medicine IRB‐approved protocol: Characterization of AEC syndrome. These collaborative findings will hopefully provide a stepping‐stone to future translational projects of TP63 and TP63‐related syndromes. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • AEC syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by mutations in the N-terminal domain of TP63.

    “Ankyloblepharon-ectodermal defects-cleft lip/palate syndrome, also known as Hay–Wells syndrome, is an autosomal dominant disorder that is caused by mutations in the N-terminal domain of TP63.[54]”

    From Ectodermal Dysplasia – An Overview and Update (2024) · cites this paper as [54]

    The Abstract identifies AEC as an autosomal dominant disorder caused by p63 mutations. But the symposium presentation “AEC syndrome, Rapp-Hodgkin Syndrome and the Tail of p63” places the AEC-associated mutations mainly in the SAM domain within the tail region of p63, contrary to the claimed N-terminal location. Page numbers are not provided in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.90)

    Checked by a reasoning model — may be wrong.

  • The characteristic feature of AEC syndrome is ankyloblepharon filiforme adnatum (fusion of the eyelids).

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
