Genetic epilepsies with myoclonic seizures: Mechanisms and syndromes
Abstract Genetic epilepsy with myoclonic seizures encompasses a heterogeneous spectrum of conditions, ranging from benign and self‐limiting forms to severe, progressive disorders. While their causes are diverse, a significant proportion stems from genetic abnormalities.

New variant in the FBXL4 gene – leading to mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome
Defects in the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) cause mtDNA depletion syndrome (MTDPS), a subclass of mitochondrial disorders that are genetically and phenotypically heterogeneous.

Clinical manifestations of dual‐gene variants in retinitis pigmentosa
Abstract Purpose Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is an inherited retinal disease (IRD), whereby each affected individual typically harbours pathogenic variants in a single causative gene, yet the disorder exhibits marked genetic heterogeneity, with more than 100 genes reported to underlie RP.

Non‐Alzheimer Aβ deposits in the human CNS: Implications with hypoxia and related conditions
An Aβ deposit in a non‐Alzheimer's brain from an individual who experienced hypoxia/energy failure. Abstract We recently reported the deposition of Aβ in the frontal cortex of individuals who died of acute coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19), or who did not have COVID‐19 but had respiratory distress, or infants with severe cardiac malformations.

Two novel SUCLA2 variants cause mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome, type 5 in two siblings
Mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome (MDS), characterized by succinate-CoA ligase deficiency and loss of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), is caused by specific variants in nuclear genes responsible for mtDNA maintenance.

Perianesthetic Complications in Genetic Mitochondrial Disease: A Review of Case Reports
ABSTRACT Background Genetic mitochondrial diseases (GMDs) are a large group of genetically and clinically heterogeneous disorders caused by defects in genes encoding mitochondrial components. GMDs are grouped into named syndromes based on clinical presentation, for example, Leigh syndrome (LS).

Altered stimulus frequency and intensity dependence of the somatosensory evoked potential in rats after acute application of two mitochondrial toxins [PDF]
Mitochondrial toxins are a special group of toxicants with nervous system ef TRACT - fects. The resulting nervous system damage could be detected and followed-up by means of functional biomarkers but these still have to be worked out.

Metabolic effects of bezafibrate in mitochondrial disease
Mitochondrial disorders affect 1/5,000 and have no cure. Inducing mitochondrial biogenesis with bezafibrate improves mitochondrial function in animal models, but there are no comparable human studies. We performed an open‐label observational experimental
