No full textCephaloscyllium maculatum sp. nov. (Figs. 6, 5 b, 7 b, 10 b; Table 1) Type Series and Locality. Holotype, CAS 224877, immature male, 188 mm TL, collected from Su-ao, Taiwan, 24 ° 35.7 'N, 121 ° 50.7 'E, collected by David A. Ebert on 3 April 1988, in excellent condition. Diagnosis. Body comparatively slender, head short; pre-first dorsal length 48.9 % TL. Mouth wide, its width 0.33 in head length. Snout very short, moderately flattened, broadly rounded; anterior nasal flaps short and triangular, not overlapping mouth posteriorly; large internarial distance. First dorsal fin small; only slightly larger than second dorsal fin; first dorsal-fin origin opposite pelvic-fin insertion. Pectoral and anal fins relatively large and broad. Color pattern consists of eight angular dorsal saddles; including four pre-first dorsal fin saddles; angular, open, and dark-outlined lateral blotch present between the paired fins. Description. Proportional dimensions in percentage of TL are shown in Table 1. Head short, its length 0.29 times precaudal length, pre-pectoral length 19.7 % TL. Snout moderately flattened, broadly rounded, and short; preorbital length 0.29 times head length; 0.80 in interorbital width. Eye small, its horizontal eye length 0.14 times head length; cat-like. Spiracle small, its diameter 0.16 times horizontal eye length. Gill openings very small, vertical length of first gill opening 0.07 in head length. Mouth relatively small, its width 0.33 in head length; labial furrows absent. Nostrils large; internarial distance 0.54 times mouth width; anterior nasal flaps short and triangular, not overlapping mouth posteriorly. First dorsal-fin small; first dorsal-fin height 0.41 in length; origin about opposite or behind half of pelvic-fin base, pre-first dorsal length 48.9 % TL. Second dorsal fin small; only slightly smaller than first; second dorsal-fin height 0.30 in length; pre-second dorsal length 0.82 times precaudal length; second dorsal-fin height 0.57 in first dorsal-fin height. Pectoral fins relatively large and broad; anterior margin 0.52 times head length; base 0.68 times in anterior margin. Pelvic fin small; its length 0.10 in precaudal length; base 0.80 in length. Anal fin relatively large; its height 0.04 and its length 0.13 times precaudal length; larger than either dorsal fin; second dorsal-fin height 0.66 in anal-fin height; first dorsal-fin height about equal to anal-fin height. Caudal fin broad, asymmetrical, with subterminal notch; dorsal-lobe length 0.32 times precaudal length; ventral-lobe length 0.40 times dorsal-lobe length. Body firm, thick-skinned, with well calcified dermal denticles; no ridge of enlarged denticles along dorsal caudal fin margin. Teeth very small and numerous; similar in both jaws; three cusps in immature males. Total vertebrae 117, monospondylous 46, precaudal 79, and pre-caudal diplospondylous 33. Size and sexual maturity. Unknown at present. Coloration. Background color medium brown to beige dorsally, pale ventrally; without polka-dots, rosettes, random speckles, or light-colored spots; spots on snout absent; open, dark lateral blotch present between paired fins. Eight open dorsal saddles clearly defined; first behind orbitals, second in line with the gills, third behind pectoral-fin insertion, fourth just before pelvic-fin origin, then one at each dorsal-fin base, one at caudal-fin origin, and dorsal-caudal lobe; saddles open, outline dark brown and solid. Angular open blotches present laterally above pectoral fins between second and third dorsal saddles, and spanning gill series; each paired fin has one angular blotch placed dorsally, larger blotches on larger fins. Comparison with other species. Morphometric data are presented in Table 1. Cephaloscyllium maculatum sp. nov. differs from C. pardelotum sp. nov. in lacking a lobate anterior nasal flap, and possessing a color pattern of dark outlined dorsal saddles. Cephaloscyllium maculatum sp. nov. has open saddles, but the borders are dark and solid and not H-shaped. Cephaloscyllium maculatum sp. nov. is separate from C. circulopullum in lacking a closed circular lateral blotch between the pectoral and pelvic fins, and having a greater internarial distance, and smaller mouth width. Cephaloscyllium maculatum sp. nov. differs from C. fasciatum in lacking a lobate anterior nasal flap (Fig. 7), having a less-variegated color pattern, and a smaller mouth width. Furthermore, the mouth length is shorter in the new species than C. fasciatum; 3.7 % TL and 5.1–6.2 % TL respectively. In addition, the internarial width is greater in C. maculatum sp. nov., at 4.0% TL, compared to C. fasciatum at 2.0– 3.2 % TL. Cephaloscyllium maculatum sp. nov. is separate from C. sarawakensis in lacking a vertically elongated closed lateral blotch between the paired fins, and having a greater internarial distance. The internarial space of C. maculatum sp. nov. is 4.0% TL; in C. sarawakensis, this measurement is 1.9–2.8 % TL (Fig. 8). The mouth width is smaller in the new species, at 7.4 % TL, whereas this measurement is consistently greater than 8.0% TL C. sarawakensis (Fig. 9). Cephaloscyllium maculatum sp. nov. differs from adult C. umbratile in lacking light colored spots. Cephaloscyllium umbratile does not have open saddles, as observed in the new species. Remarks Figure 10 shows similarly-sized specimens of C. maculatum sp. nov., C. sarawakensis, and C. umbratile in dorsal view. In this figure, it is fairly easy to conclude that these three specimens represent distinct species of Cephaloscyllium. Although the color pattern of adult C. maculatum sp. nov. is unknown at present, the juvenile markings are unique. Distribution. Cephaloscyllium maculatum sp. nov. is only known from off the east coast of Taiwan. Etymology. The species is named after the Latin maculata for spotted, referring to the lateral spots. Common name. Spotted swellshark.Published as part of Schaaf-Da, Jayna A. & Ebert, David A., 2008, A revision of the western North Pacific swellsharks, genus Cephaloscyllium Gill 1862 (Chondrichthyes: Carcharhiniformes: Scyliorhinidae), including descriptions of two new species, pp. 1-28 in Zootaxa 1872 on pages 7-12, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18398

The phenotypic spectrum of Schaaf-Yang syndrome: 18 new affected individuals from 14 families
No full textPurpose: Truncating mutations in the maternally imprinted, paternally expressed gene MAGEL2, which is located in the Prader-Willi critical region 15q11-13, have recently been reported to cause Schaaf -Yang syndrome, a Prader-Willi-like disease that manifests as developmental delay/intellectual disability, hypotonia, feeding difficulties, and autism spectrum disorder. The causality of the reported variants in the context of the patients' phenotypes was questioned, as MAGEL2 whole -gene deletions seem to cause little or no clinical phenotype. Methods: Here we report a total of 18 newly identified individuals with Schaaf-Yang syndrome from 14 families, including 1 family with 3 individuals found to be affected with a truncating variant of MAGEL2, 11 individuals who are clinically affected but were not tested molecularly, and a presymptomatic fetal sibling carrying the pathogenic MAGEL2 variant. Results: All cases harbor truncating mutations of MAGEL2, and nucleotides c.1990-1996 arise as a mutational hotspot, with 10 individuals and 1 fetus harboring a c.1996dupC (p.Q666fs) mutation and 2 fetuses harboring a c.1996deIC (p.Q666fs) mutation. The phenotypic spectrum of Schaaf-Yang syndrome ranges from fetal akinesia to neurobehavioral disease and contractures of the small finger joints. Conclusion: This study provides strong evidence for the pathogenicity of truncating mutations of the paternal allele of MAGEL2, refines the associated clinical phenotypes, and highlights implications for genetic counseling for affected families
The Correspondence of William Henry Fox Talbot
No full textThe Correspondence of William Henry Fox Talbot project has published online full transcriptions of all the known letters to and from this important 19th century figure. The transcriptions are annotated and searchable in a flexible, freeform manner that has proved intuitive for a wide range of users.
Talbot (1800-1877) is best known for his invention of photography, a pervasive art/science that changed the way that we see and record the world. However, Talbot was an important figure in many spheres. A member of an influential and widely-connected family, he was an MP in the first Reform Parliament, a pioneering mathematician, a serious botanist, an author, the holder of patents on railway propulsion, twice the recipient of Royal Society medals for his work on light and crystallography and a pioneer in the field of Assyriology. His diverse correspondence with more than a thousand figures ranges over all these fields. The first recorded letter is from him as an eight year old and the letters continue uninterrupted until just days before his death. As such, they provide a sweeping panorama of the social, political, technical and scientific changes through a good part of the 19th century.
This project had its roots in Schaaf’s research from two decades ago. From 1999 till September 2003, it was hosted at Glasgow University. Schaaf continued to answer enquiries from his office in Baltimore, Maryland, where he has extensive research resources and files on Talbot and his period. In 2005, a British Academy grant allowed the creation of a remote editor, enabling Schaaf to add newly discovered letters (about fifty to date) and to revise and update the existing transcriptions (about 600 have been updated). Enquiries come daily from all over the world, from academics and interested parties, ranging over subject areas as diverse as Talbot’s interests

Two new cases with novel pathogenic variants reflecting the clinical diversity of Schaaf-Yang syndrome
No full textSchaaf-Yang syndrome (SHFYNG) is a rare pleiotropic disorder, characterized by hypotonia, joint contractures, autism spectrum disorders (ASD), and developmental delay/intellectual disability. Although it shares some common features with Prader-Willi Syndrome, joint contractures, and ASD were more commonly detected in in this syndrome. Recently, it was shown that truncating variants in the paternal allele of the MAGEL2 gene cause SHFYNG. Here, we present two patients diagnosed with SHFYNG syndrome having two different novel truncating variants in the MAGEL2 gene, one paternally inherited and one de novo. One patient had obesity, brachydactyly and dysmorphic features, and the other patient presented with contractures, severe hypotonia and early death. This is the first report of Turkish SHFYNG syndrome cases presented to emphasize the phenotypic diversity of the syndrome
