Adult Survival in SMA Type 1: A 23‐Year Journey With Home Ventilation and Multidisciplinary Support

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
Diffuse brain atrophy and calvarial hyperostosis in a long‐term survivor of very early onset SMA type 1. ABSTRACT Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) type 1 is a severe autosomal recessive neuromuscular disorder caused by loss‐of‐function variants in the SMN1 gene, typically leading to death within the first two years without intervention. Long‐term survival

Integrating Chain‐of‐Thought and Retrieval Augmented Generation Enhances Rare Disease Diagnosis From Clinical Notes

Medicine Bulletin, Volume 2, Issue 2, Page 167-183, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Several studies show that large language models (LLMs) struggle with phenotype‐driven gene prioritization for rare diseases. These studies typically use Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) terms to prompt foundation models such as GPT and LLaMA to predict candidate genes.

Flexible intramedullary nailing for distal femoral fractures in patients with myopathies

Journal of Children's Orthopaedics, 2012
Purpose Distal femoral fractures are quite common in nonambulating patients with myopathies, as they present marked osteoporosis. The deterioration of preexisting knee flexion contracture is a known problem, as these fractures are usually angulated ...

Dystonia Scales for Children: Challenges and Obstacles in DBS Practice

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, Volume 13, Issue 3, Page 795-799, March 2026.
Abstract Background Dystonia in pediatric patients often coexists with other movement disorders and neurodevelopmental issues. Current rating scales for evaluating pediatric deep brain stimulation (DBS) candidates are not universally applicable and often require a non‐validated combination of the existing scales.

Concurrent Sporadic Late‐Onset Nemaline Myopathy and an Excessive Glycogen Accumulation Associated With Monoclonal Gammopathy

European Journal of Neurology, Volume 33, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Monoclonal gammopathy‐associated myopathies (MGAMs) include light chain (AL) amyloid myopathy, sporadic late‐onset nemaline myopathy (SLONM), and vacuolar myopathy with monoclonal gammopathy and stiffness (VAMMGAS). These subtypes usually occur separately, although rare overlap has been described. We report a patient with monoclonal

Spinal Deformity in Congenital Myopathies

Indian Spine Journal
Congenital myopathy (CM) is a group of rare genetic disorders characterized by hypotonia, hyporeflexia, and weakness present at birth. The condition is estimated to affect between 0.7 and 4.4 per 100,000 children.

Incidence and Prevalence of Congenital Myopathies ‐ A Population‐Based Study From Western Sweden

Annals of Neurology, Volume 99, Issue 2, Page 382-392, February 2026.
Objective Congenital myopathies are a group of rare genetic muscle disorders. Previous studies have estimated point prevalences which only include surviving individuals. Our aim was to perform an epidemiological study with strict inclusion criteria, using modern diagnostic technology to present both incidences and prevalences, and to describe the ...

Mechanistic Insights Into NFIX‐Mediated DNA Recognition and Transcriptional Regulation in Skeletal Muscle

Smart Medicine, Volume 5, Issue 1, February 2026.
An atomic view of the NFIX–DNA complex reveals recognition of the TGGCA motif and links sequence‐specific binding to the transcriptional programs governing skeletal muscle development and disease. ABSTRACT Skeletal muscle is essential for voluntary movement and exhibits a remarkable capacity for regeneration following injury.
