Mutations in the Key Autophagy Tethering Factor EPG5 Link Neurodevelopmental and Neurodegenerative Disorders Including Early‐Onset Parkinsonism

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, Volume 98, Issue 5, Page 932-950, November 2025.
Objective Autophagy is a fundamental biological pathway with vital roles in intracellular homeostasis. During autophagy, defective cargoes including mitochondria are targeted to lysosomes for clearance and recycling. Recessive truncating variants in the autophagy gene EPG5 have been associated with Vici syndrome, a severe early‐onset neurodevelopmental

Foetal disruptive brain injuries: Diagnosing the underlying pathogenetic mechanisms with cranial ultrasonography

open access: yesDevelopmental Medicine &Child Neurology, Volume 67, Issue 11, Page 1383-1408, November 2025.
Plain language summary: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/dmcn.16431 Abstract Antenatal destructive events affecting the central nervous system of the foetus lead to disruptive brain lesions that are often associated with impaired neurodevelopment.

Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring in Patients With Marfan Syndrome Scoliosis

open access: yesOrthopaedic Surgery, Volume 17, Issue 11, Page 3109-3115, November 2025.
This study assessed intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) efficacy in patients with Marfan syndrome‐associated scoliosis during posterior spinal fusion, showing 89.8% SEP and 92.4% MEP success rates. MFS patients with larger Cobb angles of the main curve and larger DAR values at pre‐operation suffer a higher risk of failed IONM monitoring.

MyomiRs Expression in Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy

open access: yesIUBMB Life, Volume 77, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT This manuscript is a comprehensive review focused on the role of microRNAs (miRs)—short RNA molecules—in Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy (LGMD). LGMD encompasses various and heterogeneous rare genetic neuromuscular diseases, characterized by the progressive wasting and deterioration of muscle fibers, predominantly affecting the pelvic and ...

Lethal cutis laxa with contractural arachnodactyly, overgrowth and soft tissue bleeding due to a novel homozygous fibulin-4 gene mutation

open access: yes, 2009
Cutis laxa is characterised by redundant, inelastic skin with deep wrinkling and additional variable systemic involvement. Mutations in fibulin-4 (EFEMP2) and fibulin-5 (FBLN5) were described to be causative for autosomal recessive cutis laxa type 1 in a

Inclusion of joint laxity, recurrent patellar dislocation, and short distal ulnae as a feature of Van Den Ende-Gupta syndrome: a case report

open access: yesBMC Medical Genetics, 2018
Background Van Den Ende-Gupta Syndrome (VDEGS) is an extremely rare autosomal recessive syndrome with less than 20 reported families (approximately 40 patients) in the worldwide literature.

Humeroradial Synostosis: An Updated Classification and Differential Diagnosis Based on Genetic Aetiology

open access: yesClinical Genetics, Volume 108, Issue 4, Page 379-392, October 2025.
The proposed updated classification of humeroradial synostosis is based on the molecular pathways of the genes involved: (1) chondrogenesis and osteogenesis; (2) limb development and patterning; (3) genome regulation. Thus, pathologies belonging to the same molecular type may have overlapping clinical phenotypes, helping to structure the diagnostic ...

Infantile Cerebellar‐Retinal Degeneration Associated With Novel ACO2 Variants: Clinical Features and Insights From a Drosophila Model

open access: yesClinical Genetics, Volume 108, Issue 3, Page 266-278, September 2025.
Our Translational Loop integrates patient genetic data with Drosophila models to study disease mechanisms. We identified ACO2 variants in a patient linked to ICRD and show that our animal model mirrors key aspects of the disease. These insights help pinpoint therapeutic targets, advancing research toward treatments for rare genetic disorders.
