Congenital nemaline myopathies are rare genetic disorders that typically manifest at birth or in childhood, with muscle weakness and respiratory distress. They are characterized by the presence of rod‐like structures on the muscle biopsy, or a mix of rods with cores, focal areas with disorganization of oxidative activity. Pathogenic variants in the NEB

Constitutional epimutations of the MLH1 gene are an alternative cause of Lynch syndrome, in which inactivation of an allele of a mismatch repair (MMR) gene results from MLH1 promoter methylation, rather than a pathogenic genetic variant. These epimutations are often mosaic, and methylation levels ranging from ~50% monoallelic methylation to low‐level ...

Sub-acute presentation of Morvan's syndrome after thymectomy [PDF]
A 70 year old male presented in February 2000 with persistent cough. Chest radiograph revealed a mediastinal abnormality. A computed tomography (CT) scan of the thorax confirmed an anterior mediastinal mass. CT guided mediastinal biopsy was performed but proved inconclusive. The patient declined further invasive investigation for 2 years.

The gut microbiome associated with LGI1‐antibody encephalitis
Abstract Objective Autoimmune encephalitis is a cause of brain inflammation characterized by auto‐antibodies, which target cell surface neuronal proteins and lead to neuronal dysfunction. The most common form is associated with auto‐antibodies to leucine‐rich glioma‐inactivated 1 (LGI1) protein, the presentation of which includes frequent focal ...

We review the non‐motor symptoms of MG and their potential pathogenesis, hoping to contribute to personalized diagnosis and treatment. ABSTRACT Background Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disorder affecting the neuromuscular junction (NMJ), driven by T cells, mediated by B cells, and dependent on autoantibodies.

ABSTRACT Background Kleine‐Levin Syndrome (KLS) is a neurological disorder of unknown pathophysiology. It is characterized by relapsing–remitting episodes of hypersomnia, with cognitive symptoms and behavioral disturbances. The diagnosis relies on clinical criteria, which require further standardization.

Autoimmune encephalitis and sleep disorders
Research shows that autoimmune encephalitis is associated with sleep disorders. Paraneoplastic neurological syndrome (PNS) with Ma2 antibodies can cause sleep disorders, particularly narcolepsy and rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD). Limbic

Abstract The cerebellum, a subcortical structure, is traditionally linked to sensorimotor integration and coordination, although its role in cognition and affective behavior, as well as epilepsy, is increasingly recognized. Cerebellar dysfunction in patients with epilepsy can result from genetic disorders, antiseizure medications, seizures, and seizure‐

ABSTRACT Gaucher disease (GD) is a rare autosomal‐recessive lysosomal disorder caused by glucocerebrosidase deficiency. In this study, we described the epidemiology of GD in France over more than three decades. The French GD registry (FGDR) includes all known patients with GD in France.
