SPG4 Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia: From Etiology to Therapy
Abstract Hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSPs) comprise a heterogeneous group of heritable neurodegenerative disorders resulting from mutations in a wide variety of genes. HSP locomotor symptoms include lower limb weakness and spasticity that arise from progressive degeneration of corticospinal axons projecting from the motor cortex to the distal ...

Review of Congenital Myasthenic Syndrome Caused by Pathogenic Variants in GFPT1
ABSTRACT Glutamine:fructose‐6‐phosphate transaminase 1 (GFPT1) catalyzes the first and rate‐limiting step of the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway (HBP) to generate UDP‐GlcNAc. GFPT1 exon 9 is specifically spliced in in striated muscles, which makes a long isoform of GFPT1 (GFPT1‐L).

Presynaptic Congenital Myasthenic Syndromes
ABSTRACT Presynaptic congenital myasthenic syndromes (CMS) encompass a large number of rare neurologic disorders caused by impaired release of acetylcholine (ACh) from motor nerve terminals. There are two main groups of presynaptic CMS: one in which the amount of ACh in synaptic vesicles (SV) is diminished and another in which the mechanism of synaptic

ABSTRACT Objectives Partial gene duplications (PGDups) are a significant contributor to genetic disease. The precise genomic location and structure of PGDups are often unresolved using conventional methods, so prenatal diagnosis for PGDups is challenging, especially without ultrasound abnormalities.

Development of a High‐Throughput Microarray Platform for Rapid, Low‐Cost Expanded Carrier Screening
ABSTRACT Objective To develop a customized expanded carrier screening (ECS) solution for 8271 variants of 265 genes. Based on a microarray platform, this solution demonstrates comparable accuracy to next‐generation sequencing (NGS) platform; however, it has a lower cost, a faster speed, and a simplified data—analysis process.
