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

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.

WHY IS THERE A LIMIT TO THE CHANGES IN MYOFILAMENT Ca2+-SENSITIVITY ASSOCIATED WITH MYOPATHY CAUSING MUTATIONS? [PDF]
Mutations in striated muscle contractile proteins have been found to be the cause of a number of inherited muscle diseases; in most cases the mechanism proposed for causing the disease is derangement of the thin filament-based Ca2+-regulatory systemof ...
