ABSTRACT Distal hereditary motor neuronopathy‐7 (HMNR7) is an autosomal recessive VWA1‐related disorder characterized predominantly by distal motor involvement. A 41‐year‐old man with a history of childhood orthopedic surgery for foot deformities exhibited progressive distal weakness and muscle atrophy with lower limb predominance. Electrophysiological

FIG4 is essential for lysosomal homeostasis. FIG4‐related disorders present as a continuous spectrum from the juvenile lethality in Yunis‐Varon syndrome to an increased risk of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in adult life. FIG4‐related disorders comprise a novel group of disorders of lysosomal homeostasis and can be classified into severe ...

Genetic testing in paediatric neurological disorders
In this study 390 paediatric patients with neurological disorders underwent genetic testing via exome sequencing, commercial panel, in‐house epilepsy, and movement disorder gene panels. Exome sequencing provides the highest diagnostic yield, and severe developmental delay and hypotonia predicted pathogenic variants in the exome sequencing cohort ...

A Practical Guide to Chromosome Microarray Interpretation for Paediatricians
ABSTRACT Introduction Chromosome microarray (CMA) is a test commonly ordered by general paediatricians. It has diagnostic yield between 10%–15% in individuals with neurodevelopmental delay, autism and/or multiple congenital abnormalities. CMA identifies copy number variants (CNV) including deletions and duplications, which may be pathogenic, variants ...

ABSTRACT The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is responsible for innervating all regions of the body outside of the central nervous system (CNS), the latter consisting of the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. While myelin is an essential component for the efficient functioning of both CNS and peripheral nerve cells, it is particularly important for ...
