Optimized Cas9‐Enriched Nanopore Sequencing and Analysis Workflow for Clinical Diagnosis of Repeat Expansion Disorders

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An optimized Cas9‐enriched nanopore sequencing workflow, combined with STRiker, enables simultaneous analysis of disease‐associated STR loci from patient blood. The nCATS–STRiker workflow detects repeat expansions, de novo repeat motifs, interruption patterns, and methylation in a single assay, improving the genetic diagnosis of previously undiagnosed ...

Social determinants of health and health-related quality of life in individuals with isolated dystonia

Dystonia
Background and objectivesDystonia is the third most common movement disorder. Motor and non-motor manifestations of dystonia may impact Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL), with lower HRQoL scores compared to the healthy population.

Patient‐Mounted Neuro Optical Coherence Tomography for Targeted Minimally Invasive Micro‐Resolution Volumetric Imaging in Brain In Vivo

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.
Herein, a patient‐mounted neuro optical coherence tomography system that integrates a 5 degrees‐of‐freedom skull‐mounted robot (Skullbot) with a 0.6 mm neuroendoscope for targeted, minimally invasive deep brain imaging, is developed. The system offers high‐resolution imaging with precise deployment, demonstrated through successful tumor imaging in a ...

Refining Domain‐Based Prognostication in DNM1 Encephalopathy: A Mild Phenotype Associated With a GTPase Domain Variant

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT DNM1 encephalopathy is a rare autosomal dominant genetic condition characterized by a range of neurological and developmental manifestations. The typical phenotype is severe, including profound intellectual disability, treatment‐resistant epilepsy, ataxia, and structural brain abnormalities. However, milder presentations have increasingly been

Severe ADEM‐Like Neuroinflammatory Disease and Cerebrovascular Fragility With Recurrent Pseudoaneurysms and Moyamoya in a Familial Germline CBL Mutation: Expanding the Clinical Phenotype

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Heterozygous germline variants in CBL disrupt its function as a negative regulator of the Ras/MAPK pathway, classically predisposing to Juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) and moyamoya. We describe two affected siblings carrying a paternally inherited CBL variant (c.1210 T> C, p.

Investigating the molecular and cellular basis of ε-sarcoglycan-associated myoclonus-dystonia in an iPSC-derived neuronal model [PDF]

, 2023
peer reviewedSGCE-related myoclonus-dystonia (M-D) underlies the epigenetic process of imprinting. This leads to the phenomenon of reduced penetrance upon maternal transmission of a pathogenic variant.

High Diagnosis Rate for Nonimmune Hydrops Fetalis With Prenatal Clinical Genome: Expanded Results From the Hydrops‐Yielding Diagnostic Results of Prenatal Sequencing (HYDROPS) Study

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nonimmune hydrops fetalis (NIHF) is characterized by abnormal fluid accumulation in ≥ 2 fetal compartments and may be genetic. The incremental diagnostic yield of prenatal exome sequencing (ES) for NIHF following a negative standard workup was previously explored on 22 cases.

REEP4 variant analysis in blepharospasm and other neurological disorders

Dystonia
Introduction: In preceding work, a deleterious REEP4 variant [GRCh38/hg38, NC_000008.11:g.22140245G>A, NM_025232.4:c.109C>T, p.Arg37Trp] was found to co-segregate with blepharospasm (BSP) in a large African-American pedigree.

A Novel Constitutional TUBB Variant Associated With Familial Malformations of Cortical Development

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Most pathogenic tubulin variants arise de novo in sporadic patients, causing severe brain malformations and significant neurodevelopmental impairment. The resulting reproductive disadvantage typically prevents these mutations from being transmitted to offspring.

Assessing vocal changes through spectral analyses of vocalizations in a cerebellar-specific dystonia mouse model

Dystonia
Vocal impairments are a debilitating but understudied feature of several dystonias, including generalized and early-onset genetic forms. Despite growing recognition that cerebellar dysfunction contributes to dystonic pathophysiology, the circuit ...
