ABSTRACT Multisystemic smooth muscle dysfunction syndrome (MSMDS) is an ultra‐rare, ACTA2‐related disorder characterized by severe cerebrovascular disease, aortic aneurysms, and smooth muscle dysfunction. Using molecular dynamics simulations and in silico drug screening, we identified that sapropterin dihydrochloride (Kuvan) is a candidate capable of ...

Glucocorticoids transcriptionally activate LCN2 expression via GR nuclear translocation. Secreted LCN2 binds MMP9 to degrade skeletal muscle ECM collagen, blocks integrin‐mediated mechanotransduction, bidirectionally disrupts muscle protein homeostasis, and reveals a novel target for steroid‐induced muscle atrophy.

Expanding the Utility of Exome Sequencing in Preventive and Population Genetics
ABSTRACT Carrier screening is a long‐standing genetic testing process offered to at‐risk couples, with or without a family history, who might have pregnancies affected by an autosomal recessive (AR) or X‐linked (XL) disorder. A total of 276 unrelated individuals, initially referred for rare disorder screening by clinicians, were enrolled in this study ...

A Case of Multiple Mitochondrial Dysfunctions Syndrome 1 and Review of the Literature
ABSTRACT Multiple mitochondrial dysfunctions syndrome 1 (MMDS1, MIM #605711) due to NFU1 gene defects is an ultra‐rare autosomal recessive inborn error of metabolism associated with reduced function of NFU1 iron–sulfur cluster (ISC) scaffold protein.

Revisiting Inherited Metabolic Diseases (IMDs) Through the Lens of Selective Autophagy
ABSTRACT Selective autophagy is increasingly recognized as a fundamental quality‐control mechanism that complements bulk autophagy by enabling the targeted degradation of specific intracellular cargos, including mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum (ER), lipid droplets, glycogen, peroxisomes, ferritin, ribosomes, and protein aggregates.

ABSTRACT Newborn screening (NBS) has significantly improved early detection and survival in fatty acid oxidation disorders (FAODs). However, the expanding phenotypic spectrum challenges prognostic stratification, and long‐term morbidity remains incompletely characterized.

ABSTRACT Late‐onset Pompe disease (LOPD), also known as late‐onset glycogen storage disease Type II, is caused by a genetic deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme acid α‐glucosidase (GAA). LOPD typically results in progressive weakness of the limb‐girdle and respiratory muscles and is often accompanied by the involvement of other systems, such as skeleton,

ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Children and adolescents with neuromuscular diseases often demonstrate muscle weakness and mobility limitations, which may increase perceived exertion during functional tasks. The OMNI scale was developed to assess perceived exertion in pediatric populations; however, its measurement properties in neuromuscular conditions ...
