    Title translation Dyggve-Melchior-Clausen syndrome: presentation of a case with a mutation of possible Spanish origin.
    Abstract Background and objective: The Dyggve-Melchior-Clausen syndrome is a progressive spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia characterized by a short trunk dwarfism, barrel chest, sternal protrusion, kyphoscoliosis, severe platyspondyly, with a central constriction, irregular iliac wings with a lacy appearance, rhizomelic shortening of the limbs, microcephaly, coarse face, and variable mental retardation. This condition is extremely rare and the diagnosis is difficult without any previous experience on it. It is inherited as an autosomal recessive condition, its gene (DYM) having been mapped in the 18q12-21.1 chromosomal region. At least 21 different mutations of this gene have been reported.
    Material and methods: We describe an affected Spanish child and include his molecular analysis. We also review the current knowledge on this syndrome.
    Results: The diagnosis of this patient, based on his clinical and radiological features, was later confirmed by analysis of the DYM gene mutations. The patient had two different mutations, one inherited from the mother and the other inherited from the father.
    Conclusions: One of the mutations of this patient (exon 8) is extremely rare and has mostly been reported in patients with Spanish ancestors (from Chile, Argentina, Guam islands and a French patient with Spanish ancestors). These observations, together with that of the patient described here, led us to consider this mutation as having a possible Spanish/Portuguese origin. This condition may be more frequent in Spain than previously thought, especially due to misdiagnosis. This is important in order to undertake quaternary prevention, which is quite necessary for rare syndromes with polysystemic affectation.

    Abstract Social inequalities in health and their early-life origins have been extensively documented. Although the complex direct and intermediate mechanisms linking early-life disadvantage to later health are not yet fully understood, new findings on biological markers distinctly related with early-life experiences suggest a causal relationship. In this issue, Fuller-Rowell et al. (Am J Epidemiol. 2021:190(11):2284-2293) step back to examine the role of childhood disadvantage in the United States in different periods, observing that the relationship with later health seems to have strengthened over time. The main explanation the authors bring up has to do with increased income segregation and changes in labor market composition that limit opportunities for persons with low educational attainment. In other words, while the rich get richer, the poor get poorer, the middle class shrinks, and there are fewer interactions across different socioeconomic groups and the social ladder is blocked. Other evidence suggests that investments in children, through early education and academic support programs, could help reduce the consequences of childhood disadvantage on long-term health.

    Abstract Introduction: Suicide rates are higher in prison than in the general population in most countries. The proximity of some suicides to prison events has only received little attention in comparative studies. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between suicide and four prison events: conviction, disciplinary solitary confinement, nondisciplinary solitary confinement and inter-prison transfer, in a national retrospective cohort study of people in prison.
    Methods: All incarcerations in France that occurred during 2017-2020 were eligible. Data were collected from an administrative database of the National Prison Service. Survival bivariate and multivariate analyses were performed with a Cox regression model.
    Results: Of 358,522 incarcerations were included, among which 469,348 events and 449 suicides occurred. In multivariate analysis, suicide risk was higher the first day of disciplinary solitary confinement (HR = 42.1 [21.5-82.7] and HR = 119.0 [71.5-197.9], before and after a government decree on the disciplinary system, respectively. It was higher within 2 weeks after a transfer (HR = 3.5 [2.3-5.2])) or entry in nondisciplinary solitary confinement (HR = 6.7 [3.4-13.3]) and lower within 2 weeks after a conviction (HR = 0.6 [0.4-1.0]).
    Conclusion: Solitary confinement and transfer were found to be precipitating factors of suicide in people who are incarcerated. These results offer interesting perspectives on prevention.

    Abstract Purpose: Suicide is a leading cause of death in prison and the suicide rates are several times higher in the prison population than in the general population in most countries. Of the studies that have investigated risk factors for suicide in prison, few have controlled for possible confounding factors. The aim of this study is to identify risk factors of suicide among people in French prisons, over a four-year period.
    Methods: All incarcerations that occurred in France during 2017-2020 were eligible. Sociodemographic, criminal and prison characteristics were collected for each incarceration from data of the National Prison Service. Survival univariate and multivariate analyses were performed with a Cox regression model.
    Results: 358,522 incarcerations were included, of which 449 ended in suicide during the follow-up. The median length of prison stay was 5.1 months. The median age at prison entry was 30 years and 95.8% of incarcerations involved men. The overall suicide rate was 173 [157-189] per 100,000 person-years. Factors associated with suicide in the multivariate model (p < 0.05) were the early stage of incarceration and in particular the first week (HR = 7.6 [5.4-10.8]), violent offences and in particular homicide (HR = 3.0 [2.1-4.2]), French (HR = 1.7 [1.2-2.4]) and other European nationalities (HR = 2.1 [1.4-3.3]), age above 40 (HR = 2.0 [1.5-2.6]), pre-trial incarceration (HR = 1.8 [1.4-2.3]), being separated (HR = 1.6 [1.1-2.3] and having a high school diploma (HR = 1.4 [1.0-1.8]).
    Conclusions: Factors associated with suicide in prison are complex and involve individuals' criminal history as well as conditions of incarceration. These characteristics may be relevant to focus suicide prevention efforts.
