Patient Preferences in Neuromuscular Diseases: Insights for Future Drug Development
ABSTRACT Incorporating patient preferences into drug development is crucial, particularly, for rare diseases with significant unmet needs. This study used Best‐Worst Scaling type 2 (BWS‐2) to explore benefit–risk trade‐offs for patients and caregivers in two rare neuromuscular diseases (NMDs), myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1), and mitochondrial myopathy

Heterozygous OGDH Variants Are Involved in Peripheral Neuropathy With Ataxia and Optical Atrophy
ABSTRACT 2‐oxyglutarate dehydrogenase (OGDH) encodes an E1 component of α‐ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex that plays a pivotal role in the Krebs cycle. Biallelic variants in OGDH have been reported to cause an early‐onset neurodevelopmental and mitochondrial disorder.

Fat/Water Separation at 7 T Using a 3D Radial Sequence With Quasi‐Continuous Echo Times
ABSTRACT Purpose To achieve a reliable fat/water separation (FWS) at 7 T using a new 3D radial sequence and reconstruction workflow with quasi‐continuous TE sampling. Methods A 3D radial density‐adapted sequence with quasi‐continuous TE sampling was developed for a 7 T whole‐body MRI system.
