Update on Genetic Chorea. [PDF]
This review provides an updated clinical and genetic framework for the differential diagnosis of hereditary chorea. It guides neurologists through the interpretation of phenomenology, ancillary tests, and appropriate genetic techniques to achieve an accurate and timely diagnosis.

Congenital Insensitivity to Pain With Anhidrosis: First Reported Case in Nepal. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by anhidrosis, self‐mutilation, and insensitivity to pain and temperature. While genetic testing confirms the diagnosis, it is not always feasible, making clinical recognition crucial in resource‐limited settings.

Case report: Whole exome sequencing identifies a novel variant in the HPRT1 gene in a male with developmental delay [PDF]
Lesch-Nyhan syndrome (LNS, OMIM #300322) is a rare X-linked genetic disorder caused by variants in the HPRT1 gene, which codes for the Hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGPRT).

The Role of Metabolic Testing in the Diagnostic Evaluation of Adult NORSE: A Retrospective, Single‐Centre Study [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background New‐onset refractory status epilepticus (NORSE) is a diagnostically challenging and severe epileptic presentation in which aetiology is an important predictor of outcome. This retrospective study aimed to investigate the utility of metabolic screening to determine the underlying cause in 42 patients with suspected NORSE, admitted to

Epigenetic modulation of human neurobiological disorders: Lesch-Nyhan disease as a model disorder [PDF]
Epigenetics is the study of how cells control gene activity without changing the DNA sequence. Epigenetic changes affect how genes are turned on and off or expressed, and thus help regulate how cells in different parts of the body use the same genetic ...
