Shear Wave Elastography to Assess Respiratory Muscle Function in Congenital Myopathies

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Respiratory muscle dysfunction is prevalent in congenital myopathies and often leads to respiratory failure. Ultrasound shear wave elastography (SWE) measures tissue elasticity and has been proposed as an alternative to invasive measures of respiratory muscle contractility.

The Diagnostic Odyssey of a Biochemically Confirmed Case of ML II: The First Western Patient With LYSET Deficiency

Clinical Genetics, EarlyView.
We identify a female patient with a homozygous nonsense variant (p.Gln38Ter) in the LYSET gene. This is the first western report of a challenging case of an extensive diagnostic odyssey and demonstrates that the LYSET gene must be considered in the differential diagnosis when M6P‐labeled lysosomal enzymes are altered.
