A Rare Case of Severe Congenital RYR1-Associated Myopathy

open access: yesCase Reports in Genetics, 2018
Congenital myopathies are a group of rare inherited diseases, defined by hypotonia and muscle weakness. We report clinical and genetic characteristics of a male preterm newborn, whose phenotype was characterized by severe hypotonia and hyporeactivity ...

Voice Fundamental Frequency Variation and Statin Therapy

open access: yesClinical Otolaryngology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Statins are considered a first‐line treatment for dyslipidaemia, being the most frequently prescribed medicine worldwide. However, statin therapy has been associated with several adverse effects, including statin‐associated myopathy, which may manifest with symptoms such as myalgia, muscle stiffness, and cramps.

Congenital myopathy is caused by mutation of HACD1

open access: yesHuman Molecular Genetics, 2013
Congenital myopathies are heterogeneous inherited diseases of muscle characterized by a range of distinctive histologic abnormalities. We have studied a consanguineous family with congenital myopathy.

Eosinophilia and Hypereosinophilia: A Practical Approach to Navigating a Broad Differential Diagnosis

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Eosinophilia, defined as an absolute eosinophil count (AEC) of ≥ 0.5 × 109/L, is a frequently encountered finding with a vast spectrum of potential underlying etiologies. Hypereosinophilia (HE) is defined as AEC > 1.5 × 109/L and may become life‐threatening when eosinophil‐induced organ damage occurs, defining the hypereosinophilic syndrome ...

Knockdown of cathepsin D in zebrafish fertilized eggs determines congenital myopathy

open access: yesBioscience Reports, 2013
CD (cathepsin D) is a ubiquitous lysosomal hydrolase involved in a variety of pathophysiological functions, including protein turnover, activation of pro-hormones, cell death and embryo development.

Caenorhabditis elegans as an in vivo model system for human inherited primary arrhythmia syndromes

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Most genes involved in inherited primary arrhythmia syndromes (IPAS) are conserved in Caenorhabditis elegans, where genetic manipulation enables functional characterization of variants, identification of regulatory proteins, and in vivo drug testing.

Two Novel ACTC1 Variants Cause Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita

open access: yesClinical Genetics, Volume 110, Issue 5, Page 584-589, November 2026.
We report on two individuals with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita who were heterozygous for ACTC1 missense variants (NM_005159.5; c.325G>A, p.Glu109Lys and c.650A>C, p.Lys217Thr) and provide a characterization of these variants through in vitro studies.

Uncovering the Genetic Landscape of Pediatric Hearing Loss Along the Texas–Mexico Border

open access: yesClinical Genetics, Volume 110, Issue 5, Page 627-636, November 2026.
Project GIVE provided evaluations and genome sequencing to 23 children with hearing loss along the Texas–Mexico border. Seventy percent received a molecular diagnosis and 56% of those diagnosed had changes to medical management. In this region, underdiagnosis of genetic hearing loss is due to care barriers rather than lower genetic burden.
