USP34 Haploinsufficiency as a Cause of Neurodevelopmental Phenotypes
Heterozygous loss‐of‐function variants in USP34 cause a novel neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by global developmental delay, speech impairment, autism, hypotonia, craniofacial dysmorphism, and distal limb anomalies. Disrupted Wnt/β‐catenin signaling via reduced Axin stabilization refines gene‐specific contributions within 2p15p16.1 ...

Opticus atrophy—Genetic testing with WES/WGS in 62 patients with optic atrophy provided a genetic diagnosis in 21 patients (33.9%). 42.9% of these involved non‐OPA1 genes, including WFS1, ACO2, NR2F1, UCHL1, CACNA1F, and COQ2, where the genetic diagnosis prompted additional clinical evaluation, surveillance, or therapeutic intervention.

Neuropathy With Demyelinating Features in a Patient With Biallelic HARS1 Variants
ABSTRACT Background and Aims The HARS1 gene encodes cytoplasmic histidyl‐tRNA synthetase, which catalyzes the ligation of histidine to tRNAHIS in the cytoplasm as an early step in protein biosynthesis and is essential for cell viability. Pathogenic variants in HARS1 have been associated with three phenotypes: autosomal dominant Charcot–Marie–Tooth (CMT)

In this study we show for the first time that the human basilar membrane contains elastin produced by the so‐called tympanic covering layer. It is believed to play an important functional role in human cochlear tuning, particularly low frequencies linked to our remarkable speech and music perception.

m.10010T>C Mitochondrial Disease: A Case Report With Hypoparathyroidism and Review of the Literature
ABSTRACT Mitochondria are essential intracellular organelles that play a critical role in cellular metabolism, including the regulation of intracellular calcium signaling. Advances in genomic sequencing have facilitated the identification of rare pathogenic mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) genetic variants in patients with unexplained endocrine disorders.

Expanding the Phenotype of TUFM ‐Related Combined Oxidative Phosphorylation Deficiency 4
ABSTRACT Combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 4 (COXPD4) is a rare mitochondrial condition caused by biallelic deleterious variants in the nuclear‐encoded gene TUFM. To date, most individuals with COXPD4 have presented with encephalopathy, hypotonia, and abnormal brain imaging. Many of the reported individuals died in infancy. We aim to expand
