Associations of Essential and Non-Essential Trace Elements' Levels in the Blood, Serum, and Urine in Women with Premature Ovarian Insufficiency
Kek T, Gersak K, Kuzelicki N, Sturm D, Mazej D, Tratnik J, et al.
Biol Trace Elem Res . 2025 Jan; PMID: 39789351
Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is poorly understood, with causes identified in only 25% of cases. Emerging evidence suggests links between trace elements (TEs) and POI. This study is the first...

Higher Incidence of Common Polymorphisms in the Genes of Folate and Methionine Cycles in Children With Orofacial Clefs and Congenital Heart Defects Compared to their Unaffected Siblings
Kuzelicki N, Smid A, Vidmar Golja M, Kek T, Eberlinc A, Gersak B, et al.
Birth Defects Res . 2024 Oct; 116(11):e2408. PMID: 39473220
Background: Uninterrupted folate metabolism plays a vital role in embryonic development, ensuring a supply of one-carbon-activated folate cofactors for essential processes. Folate deficiency has been implicated in the development of...

Recommendations from the 2024 Australian evidence-based guideline for unexplained infertility: ADAPTE process from the ESHRE evidence-based guideline on unexplained infertility
Costello M, Norman R, Rombauts L, Farquhar C, Bedson L, Kong M, et al.
Med J Aust . 2024 Sep; 221(8):438-446. PMID: 39277816
Introduction: The 2024 Australian evidence-based guideline for unexplained infertility provides clinicians with evidence-based recommendations for the optimal diagnostic workup for infertile couples to establish the diagnosis of unexplained infertility and...

Peak amplitude of the normalized power spectrum of the electromyogram of the uterus in the low frequency band is an effective predictor of premature birth
Pirnar Z, Jager F, Gersak K
PLoS One . 2024 Sep; 19(9):e0308797. PMID: 39264880
The current trends in the development of methods for non-invasive prediction of premature birth based on the electromyogram of the uterus, i.e., electrohysterogram (EHG), suggest an ever-increasing use of large...

Exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals (bisphenols, parabens, and triclosan) and their associations with preterm birth in humans
Kek T, Gersak K, Virant-Klun I
Reprod Toxicol . 2024 Mar; 125:108580. PMID: 38522559
Preterm birth in humans (PTB), defined as birth prior to 37 weeks of gestation, is one of the most important causes of neonatal morbidity and mortality and is associated with...

Circadian characteristics of term and preterm labors
Moskon M, Kovac U, Raspor DallOlio L, Gersak K, Kavsek G, Bojc Smid E, et al.
Sci Rep . 2024 Feb; 14(1):4033. PMID: 38369585
The labor is a physiological event considered to have its own circadian (diurnal) rhythm, but some of the data remain conflicting, especially for preterm births. In this retrospective study, we...

A Comprehensive Genetic Analysis of Slovenian Families with Multiple Cases of Orofacial Clefts Reveals Novel Variants in the Genes , , and
Slavec L, Gersak K, Eberlinc A, Hovnik T, Lovrecic L, Mlinaric-Rascan I, et al.
Int J Mol Sci . 2023 Mar; 24(5). PMID: 36901693
Although the aetiology of non-syndromic orofacial clefts (nsOFCs) is usually multifactorial, syndromic OFCs (syOFCs) are often caused by single mutations in known genes. Some syndromes, e.g., Van der Woude syndrome...
