Study Notes
Cleft Lip
- Occurs due to failed fusion of the maxillary prominence with the intermaxillary segment during early gestation
Tuberous Sclerosis
- Individuals with this condition present with ash leaf macules and malar angiofibromas.
- The underlying cause is an abnormal tuberin-hamartin complex, leading to enhanced mTOR signaling.

- Characterized by crypt hyperplasia, villous atrophy, and intraepithelial lymphocyte infiltration.
Parathyroid Hormone (PTH)
- Increases bone resorption, leading to elevated serum calcium levels.
- Increases renal phosphate excretion.
