From Misdiagnosis to Genetic Confirmation: A Brazilian Familial Report of Camptodactyly–Arthropathy–Coxa Vara–Pericarditis Syndrome—A Case‐Based Review [PDF]
Background Camptodactyly–arthropathy–coxa vara–pericarditis (CACP) syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by PRG4 mutations that impair lubricin production. Resulting noninflammatory hyperplasia produces congenital or early‐onset camptodactyly and noninflammatory arthropathy, affecting large joints.

Abstract Among genetic disorders of vesicular trafficking, there are three causing recurrent acute liver failure (RALF): NBAS, RINT1, and SCYL1‐associated disease. These three disorders are characterized by liver crises triggered by febrile infections and account for a relevant proportion of RALF causes. While the frequency and severity of liver crises

An update on autophagy disorders
Abstract Macroautophagy is a highly conserved cellular pathway for the degradation and recycling of defective cargo including proteins, organelles, and macromolecular complexes. As autophagy is particularly relevant for cellular homeostasis in post‐mitotic tissues, congenital disorders of autophagy, due to monogenic defects in key autophagy genes ...

Unifying biology of neurodegeneration in lysosomal storage diseases
Abstract There are currently at least 70 characterised lysosomal storage diseases (LSD) resultant from inherited single‐gene defects. Of these, at least 30 present with central nervous system (CNS) neurodegeneration and overlapping aetiology. Substrate accumulation and dysfunctional neuronal lysosomes are common denominator, but how variants in 30 ...
