A New Case of Lethal Congenital Contracture Syndrome Type 3 With Hyperinsulinism and Optic Atrophy. [PDF]
PIP5K1C‐related lethal congenital contracture syndrome with hyperinsulinism and optic atrophy. ABSTRACT Lethal congenital contracture syndrome 3 (LCCS3, MIM #611369) is a rare autosomal recessive neuromuscular disorder caused by biallelic loss‐of‐function (LOF) variants in PIP5K1C, reported in only two families to date.

Expert consensus on neuro-musculoskeletal functional reconstruction for post-stroke spastic hemiplegia. [PDF]
This expert consensus proposes a patient‐centered pathway for functional reconstruction after post‐stroke spastic hemiplegia: “patient goal–pathophysiologic component–treatment target–functional reassessment.” Treatment selection and sequencing across motor retraining, brain–computer interfaces, peripheral nerve surgery, and tendon/soft‐tissue ...

Clinical Variability and Genotype-Driven Outcomes in CHRND-Related Congenital Myasthenic Syndrome. [PDF]
Clinical variability in CHRND‐related congenital myasthenic syndrome ranges from isolated ocular involvement to severe neonatal‐onset disease with respiratory insufficiency. In a multicenter cohort of nine patients, ocular symptoms represented the core phenotype, while disease severity was influenced by genotype and presumed residual acetylcholine ...

Rare Biallelic CTU2 Variants in an Individual With CAKUT: Clinical Characterization and Minigene Splicing Analysis. [PDF]
Exome sequencing in 200 CAKUT patients identified compound heterozygous rare CTU2 variants in one renal‐predominant case. Minigene splicing assays showed c.913C>T partially increased exon 9 skipping, supporting further case collection and kidney‐relevant studies to clarify the role of CTU2 in renal developmental phenotypes.
