Clinical and functional characterization of a long survivor congenital titinopathy patient with a novel metatranscript-only titin variant

Acta Neuropathologica Communications, 2023
Congenital titinopathies are an emerging group of a potentially severe form of congenital myopathies caused by biallelic mutations in titin, encoding the largest existing human protein involved in the formation and stability of sarcomeres.

Clinical, manometric, genetic, and histologic associations in pediatric intestinal pseudo‐obstruction: A case series

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Pediatric intestinal pseudo‐obstruction (PIPO) is a severe bowel motility disorder characterized by impaired propulsion of gastrointestinal contents without mechanical obstruction. PIPO encompasses congenital and acquired disorders, including neuropathies, myopathies, and mesenchymopathies.

Variability in Disease Severity in Siblings With Homozygous Missense Variant of ADSSL1: Clinical Genetic Study and Review of Literatures

Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine
Background Distal myopathies are genetic muscle disorders caused by mutations in various genes. A study found that mutations in adenylosuccinate synthetase‐like 1 (ADSSL1) are associated with distal myopathy in nine patients from six unrelated families ...

Glycoprotein hyposialylation gives rise to a nephrotic-like syndrome that is prevented by sialic acid administration in GNE V572L point-mutant mice. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Mutations in the key enzyme of sialic acid biosynthesis, UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase/N-acetyl-mannosamine kinase, result in distal myopathy with rimmed vacuoles (DMRV)/hereditary inclusion body myopathy (HIBM) in humans.
