KCTD7-related progressive myoclonic epilepsy: report of three Indian families and review of literature [PDF]
Epilepsy, progressive myoclonic 3, with or without intracellular inclusions (MIM# 611726) is a rare autosomal recessive condition associated with pathogenic variants in KCTD7, which encodes the BTB/POZ domain-containing KCTD7 protein.

Genome-wide joint SNP and CNV analysis of aortic root diameter in African Americans: the HyperGEN study [PDF]
Background Aortic root diameter is a clinically relevant trait due to its known relationship with the pathogenesis of aortic regurgitation and risk for aortic dissection. African Americans are an understudied population despite a particularly high burden

The prevalence of diseases caused by lysosome-related genes in a cohort of undiagnosed patients
Lysosomal diseases (LD) comprise a group of approximately 60 hereditary conditions caused by progressive accumulation of metabolites due to defects in lysosomal enzymes and degradation pathways, which lead to a wide range of clinical manifestations.

A novel myopathy with autophagic vacuoles associated with biallelic variants in CLN8. [PDF]
We describe a novel adult‐onset myopathy with autophagic vacuoles and characteristic features of ceroid lipofuscinosis associated with biallelic CLN8 variants, seizures, and muscle weakness. Autophagosomal/lysosomal deposition of curvilinear, autofluorescent material containing the mitochondrial adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthase membrane subunit c ...

Genome sequence analyses identify novel risk loci for multiple system atrophy. [PDF]
: Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is an adult-onset, sporadic synucleinopathy characterized by parkinsonism, cerebellar ataxia, and dysautonomia. The genetic architecture of MSA is poorly understood, and treatments are limited to supportive measures. Here,

Genetic Diversity and Expanded Phenotypes in Dystonia: Insights From Large-Scale Exome Sequencing. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Objective Dystonia is one of the most prevalent movement disorders, characterized by significant clinical and etiological heterogeneity. Despite considerable heritability (~25%), the etiology in most patients remains elusive. Moreover, understanding correlations between clinical manifestations and genetic variants has become increasingly ...
