The first time being officially published and credited in a medical journal! Published in The American Journal of Medical Genetics by Paul Mark, FACMG in conjunction with Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital on January 11th, 2022, this was a paper discussing the effects of NAD+ deficiency on congenital malformations and miscarriage. The most prominent issue is surrounding the yolk sac being fully absorbed before closure of the bellybutton.
