Novel MYL1 Intron Variant With Expanded Phenotype

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Congenital myopathy‐14 (CMYO14) is an ultrarare autosomal recessive disorder caused by biallelic variants in MYL1, with only four patients reported to date. We describe what is likely the fifth reported patient, a neonate with severe hypotonia, respiratory insufficiency, and skeletal anomalies showing distinct histological changes of skeletal ...

Epilepsy characteristics in patients with muscle‐eye‐brain disease: A systematic review of electroclinical features

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives Muscle‐Eye‐Brain disease (MEB) is a dystroglycanopathy that belongs to the congenital muscular dystrophies. Central nervous system manifestations include congenital brain abnormalities, neurodevelopmental delay, and epilepsy, making it a rare but important cause of developmental and epileptic encephalopathy.

Neonatal developmental and epileptic encephalopathy with movement disorder and arthrogryposis: A shared phenotype across brain‐expressed sodium channelopathies

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Neonatal developmental and epileptic encephalopathy with movement disorder and arthrogryposis (NDEEMA) represents the most severe end of the gain‐of‐function (GOF) SCN1A disorder spectrum. Sporadic cases of congenital arthrogryposis have also been reported in individuals with SCN2A‐, SCN3A‐, and SCN8A‐related developmental and ...
