Performance outcomes of the PEDI‐CAT for assessing functional ability in the population with leukodystrophy

Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim To describe the use of the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Index‐Computer Adapted Test (PEDI‐CAT), a parent‐reported outcome, and determine functional performance in a cohort with leukodystrophy. Method This was a cross‐sectional observational study.

Vitamin‐Responsive Disorders: From Molecular Basis to Clinical Presentation and Therapy

Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, Volume 49, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Vitamin‐dependent cofactors are essential for numerous metabolic reactions, and defects affecting their uptake, conversion, utilisation, or regeneration constitute a heterogeneous group of inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs). Although dietary vitamin intake is sufficient to sustain coenzyme synthesis in healthy individuals, it is insufficient

Liver Transplantation and Other Hepatically Directed Therapies Do Not Change the Biochemical Phenotype nor Halt Progression of Leukodystrophy due to Biallelic HMBS Variants: A Case Report

JIMD Reports
Leukodystrophy due to biallelic HMBS variants is a rare condition distinct from acute intermittent porphyria (AIP). It is characterised by progressive leukoencephalopathy rather than acute attacks of neurovisceral symptoms. We report the ongoing clinical

Heterozygous OGDH Variants Are Involved in Peripheral Neuropathy With Ataxia and Optical Atrophy

JIMD Reports, Volume 67, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT 2‐oxyglutarate dehydrogenase (OGDH) encodes an E1 component of α‐ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex that plays a pivotal role in the Krebs cycle. Biallelic variants in OGDH have been reported to cause an early‐onset neurodevelopmental and mitochondrial disorder.

Overview of genetic variants in a cohort of Iranian patients with leukodystrophy

Scientific Reports
Leukodystrophies are a number of rare genetic disorders that influence the white matter of the brain. The current study aimed to identify the underlying genetic cause of leukodystrophy in 14 Iranian cases, mainly presented by hypomyelinating ...

Linking neurogenesis, oligodendrogenesis, and myelination defects to neurodevelopmental disruption in primary mitochondrial disorders

FEBS Letters, Volume 600, Issue 12, Page 1699-1716, June 2026.
Mitochondrial remodeling shapes neural and glial lineage progression by matching metabolic supply with demand. Elevated OXPHOS supports differentiation and myelin formation, while myelin compaction lowers mitochondrial dependence, revealing mitochondria as key drivers of developmental energy adaptation.

Fluid and Neuroimaging Biomarkers in Microgliopathy Colony‐Stimulating Factor‐1 Receptor‐Related Disorders

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, Volume 13, Issue 6, Page 1236-1248, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective This study aims to identify both fluid and neuroimaging biomarkers for CSF1R‐RD that can inform the optimal timing of treatment administration to maximize therapeutic benefit, while also providing sensitive quantitative measurements to monitor disease progression.

Characterization of Clinical Phenotype to Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein Concentrations in Alexander Disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, Volume 13, Issue 6, Page 1206-1221, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective To determine the concentration of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma in Alexander disease (AxD) and whether GFAP levels are predictive of disease phenotypes. Methods CSF and plasma were collected (longitudinally when available) from AxD participants and non‐AxD controls.

Evidence of Iron Accumulation in Cerebral Adrenoleukodystrophy: A Potential Novel Disease Mechanism

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, Volume 13, Issue 6, Page 1276-1282, June 2026.
ABSTRACT In this first application of Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping Source Separation to cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy, we uncovered alterations in iron and myelin within lesions and normal appearing white matter. As validation, we demonstrate abnormal iron accumulation in those same compartments within primary brain tissue.
