RNA Sequencing Resolves Cryptic Pathogenic Variants in Mitochondrial Disease
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Mitochondrial diseases are the most common inherited metabolic disorders, characterized by pronounced clinical and genetic heterogeneity that complicates molecular diagnosis. Although DNA‐based sequencing approaches have become standard in genetic testing, up to half of patients remain without a definitive diagnosis.

Deposition of the Membrane Attack Complex of Complement in Bullous Pemphigoid
Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 1984 Bullous pemphigoid is associated with deposition of IgG and C3 at the dermal-epidermal junction. In order to see whether complement activation in bullous pemphigoid resulted in deposition of membrane attack complex (MAC) at the basement membrane zone, skin biopsies from patients with bullous pemphigoid were examined using a direct immunofluorescence ...

Sertraline Treatment Can Mimic Niemann‐Pick Type C Biomarker Profile: A Diagnostic Pitfall
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Oxysterols (cholestane‐3β,5α,6β‐triol and 7‐ketocholesterol) and N‐palmitoyl‐O‐phosphocholineserine (PPCS) are sensitive biomarkers for Niemann‐Pick disease type C (NPC) screening. However, false‐positive results occur, with a biomarker profile suggestive of NPC despite the absence of pathogenic variants in genes involved in NPC or ...

Cell Reports, 2016 Pore formation in membranes is important for mammalian immune defense against invading bacteria. Induced by complement activation, the membrane attack complex (MAC) forms through sequential binding and membrane insertion of C5b6, C7, C8, and C9.

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective To characterize the demographic, clinical, and laboratory features of the Chinese patients of genetic Creutzfeldt‐Jakob disease with T188K variant (T188K‐gCJD), the most common subtype of genetic prion diseases (gPrDs) in China. Methods In this nationwide retrospective study, data from 98 genetically confirmed T188K‐gCJD patients ...

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Variants in SLC6A1, encoding the GABA transporter 1 (GAT‐1), cause epilepsy, autism spectrum disorder, and developmental delay via loss of GABA uptake, impaired trafficking, and ER retention. We previously found that 4‐Phenylbutyrate (PBA), an FDA‐approved drug, restores GABA uptake and reduces seizures in SLC6A1‐related disorders ...

Peripheral Neutrophil Activation and Extracellular Trap Formation in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.Markers of neutrophil activation are increased in plasma during ALS, and markers of NET formation associate with ALS survival. ABSTRACT Objectives Peripheral neutrophil levels in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) inversely correlate with survival, suggesting a role for neutrophils in disease progression.
