Identification of a de novo Mutation in TMEM106B in a Saudi Child Causes Hypomyelination Leukodystrophy

open access: yesGlobal Medical Genetics, 2023
Hypomyelinating leukodystrophies are one of the white matter disorders caused by a lack of myelin deposition in the central nervous system (CNS). Here, we report the first case of hypomyelinating leukodystrophy in the Middle East and Saudi Arabia.

Golabi-Ito-Hall syndrome results from a missense mutation in the WW domain of the PQBP1 gene [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Background: Golabi, Ito, and Hall reported a family with X linked mental retardation (XLMR), microcephaly, postnatal growth deficiency, and other anomalies, including atrial septal defect, in 1984.Methods: This family was restudied as part of our ongoing

Bovine viral diarrhoea virus 1b infection associated with congenital tremor and hypomyelination in Holstein calves

open access: yesVeterinary Microbiology, 2021
Hypomyelination is a rare consequence of in utero bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV) infection. We describe a BVDV outbreak in a naïve Holstein dairy herd in northern Italy, with an unusually high prevalence of calves with neurological signs, generalised tremors and ataxia.

A Novel Gain‐of‐Function ITPR1 Variant Associated With a Movement Disorder Characterized by Tremor and Dystonia

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The 1,4,5‐trisphosphate receptor type 1 (ITPR1) gene encodes an endoplasmic reticulum calcium release channel, in which loss‐of‐function mutations have been associated with spinocerebellar ataxias and related neurological phenotypes. Only one gain‐of‐function mutation in the highly conserved suppressor domain of ITPR1 has been previously ...

A Core Head, Neck, and Neuroanatomy Syllabus for Physical Therapy Student Education

open access: yesClinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Head, neck, and neuroanatomy are essential components of physical therapy education due to their broad clinical applications. Detailed syllabi exist for medical students, yet none have been developed for physical therapy. This study aimed to produce an International Federation of Associations of Anatomists core head, neck, and neuroanatomy ...

Epilepsy Phenotypic Spectrum of NUS1‐Related Disorder: A Case Series

open access: yesAnnals of the Child Neurology Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Epilepsy with myoclonic and atonic seizures (EMAtS), also known as Doose syndrome, accounts for 1%–2% of childhood epilepsies, and various genes have been implicated in causing this epilepsy syndrome. NUS1 encodes for Nogo‐B receptor (NgBR), which stabilizes the dehydrodolichyl‐diphosphate synthase complex in the endoplasmic ...

Generation of Oligodendrocyte Progenitor Cells From Mouse Bone Marrow Cells. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) are a subtype of glial cells responsible for myelin regeneration. Oligodendrocytes (OLGs) originate from OPCs and are the myelinating cells in the central nervous system (CNS).

Altered splicing of the BIN1 muscle-specific exon in humans and dogs with highly progressive centronuclear myopathy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Amphiphysin 2, encoded by BIN1, is a key factor for membrane sensing and remodelling in different cell types. Homozygous BIN1 mutations in ubiquitously expressed exons are associated with autosomal recessive centronuclear myopathy (CNM), a mildly ...

Genetic epilepsies with myoclonic seizures: Mechanisms and syndromes

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Genetic epilepsy with myoclonic seizures encompasses a heterogeneous spectrum of conditions, ranging from benign and self‐limiting forms to severe, progressive disorders. While their causes are diverse, a significant proportion stems from genetic abnormalities.
