Genetic and Mitochondrial Metabolic Analyses of an Atypical Form of Leigh Syndrome
In this study, we aimed to establish the mitochondrial etiology of the proband’s progressive neurodegenerative disease suggestive of an atypical Leigh syndrome, by determining the proband’s pathogenic variants.

Modulation of the GABAergic pathway for the treatment of fragile X syndrome. [PDF]
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is the most common genetic cause of intellectual disability and the most common single-gene cause of autism. It is caused by mutations on the fragile X mental retardation gene (FMR1) and lack of fragile X mental retardation ...

Defining an epidemic:The body mass index in British and American obesity research 1960-2000 [PDF]
Between the 1970s and the mid‐1990s the body mass index (BMI) became the standard means of assessing obesity both in populations and in individuals, replacing previously diverse and contested definitions of excess body weight.

Peripheral macrophages drive CNS disease in the Ndufs4(−/−) model of Leigh syndrome
Subacute necrotizing encephalopathy, or Leigh syndrome (LS), is the most common pediatric presentation of genetic mitochondrial disease. LS is a multi‐system disorder with severe neurologic, metabolic, and musculoskeletal symptoms.

Utility of Whole Blood Thiamine Pyrophosphate Evaluation in TPK1-Related Diseases [PDF]
TPK1 mutations are a rare, but potentially treatable, cause of thiamine deficiency. Diagnosis is challenging given the phenotypic overlap that exists with other metabolic and neurological disorders.

Exploring mTOR inhibition as treatment for mitochondrial disease
Leigh syndrome and MELAS (mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke‐like episodes) are two of the most frequent pediatric mitochondrial diseases. Both cause severe morbidity and neither have effective treatment.
