Gene Panel Analysis Reveals Overlapping Genetic Causes of Inherited Cataracts and Other Ocular Phenotypes in Bulgarian Patients

Molecular Genetics &Genomic Medicine, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
We have identified 4 pathogenic/likely pathogenic changes and 2 variants of uncertain significance, 3 of which were novel. The identification of disease‐causing variants in the CRYAA, MYH9, RP2, and CLNC1 genes allowed us to establish an accurate genetic diagnosis of inherited cataract and to describe overlapping clinical phenotypes.

A Diagnostic Pitfall of Primary Aldosteronism Presenting as Recurrent Quadriparesis: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Quadriparesis refers to weakness affecting all four limbs. While most cases are neurogenic in origin, stemming from central or peripheral nervous system pathology, non‐neurogenic causes are less common and often under‐recognized. These include systemic or metabolic conditions that secondarily impair neuromuscular function.
