The Diverse Neuromuscular Spectrum of VPS13A Disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, Volume 13, Issue 1, Page 157-169, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective VPS13A disease (chorea‐acanthocytosis) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder caused by biallelic variants in VPS13A, typically presenting with hyperkinetic movement disorders, while neuromuscular signs are often mild. The aim of the project was to investigate the frequency and severity of neuromuscular impairment in VPS13A disease ...
