deficiency defines a distinct neurodegenerative disorder with a conserved autophagy‐lysosome defect [PDF]
International audienceOBJECTIVE:Several small case series identified KCTD7 mutations in patients with a rare autosomal recessive disorder designated progressive myoclonic epilepsy (EPM3) and neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (CLN14).

Role of alternative splicing signatures in the prognosis of glioblastoma
Background Increasing evidence has validated the crucial role of alternative splicing (AS) in tumors. However, comprehensive investigations on the entirety of AS and their clinical value in glioblastoma (GBM) are lacking.

Genetic epilepsies with myoclonic seizures: Mechanisms and syndromes
Abstract Genetic epilepsy with myoclonic seizures encompasses a heterogeneous spectrum of conditions, ranging from benign and self‐limiting forms to severe, progressive disorders. While their causes are diverse, a significant proportion stems from genetic abnormalities.

Abstract Carrier screening for genetic conditions performed preconception or during pregnancy allows identification of fetal risk for inherited autosomal recessive and X‐linked conditions. The goal is to identify at‐risk patients/couples and offer them reproductive options such as preimplantation genetic diagnosis, prenatal testing, or targeted newborn

Abstract Background Progressive myoclonic epilepsy is a heterogeneous neurodegenerative disorder characterized by early‐onset myoclonus, epilepsy, generalized tonic–clonic seizures, and progressive neurological deterioration. Recently, a CGG repeat expansion and increased CSNK1E DNA methylation have been shown to be associated with developmental and ...

KCTD: A new gene family involved in neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders. [PDF]
International audienceThe underlying molecular basis for neurodevelopmental or neuropsychiatric disorders is not known. In contrast, mechanistic understanding of other brain disorders including neurodegeneration has advanced considerably.

Abstract The cerebellum, a subcortical structure, is traditionally linked to sensorimotor integration and coordination, although its role in cognition and affective behavior, as well as epilepsy, is increasingly recognized. Cerebellar dysfunction in patients with epilepsy can result from genetic disorders, antiseizure medications, seizures, and seizure‐

Background: Mutations in the KCTD7 gene have been associated with progressive myoclonus epilepsy and, in a single patient, with the so-called "Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis 14" (characterised by myoclonic seizures, cognitive regression, optic atrophy ...

Abstract Background and Purpose Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a progressive, adult‐onset neurodegenerative disorder clinically characterized by combinations of autonomic failure, parkinsonism, cerebellar ataxia and pyramidal signs. Although a few genetic factors have been reported to contribute to the disease, its mutational profiles have not been ...

Abstract Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL) are among the most prevalent neurodegenerative disorders of early life in humans. Disease‐causing variants have been described for 13 different NCL genes. In this study, a refined pathological characterization of a female rabbit with progressive neurological signs reminiscent of NCL was performed ...
