Shoulder Rotation Test: A New Test for Discriminating Between Functional and Structural Weakness

open access: yesBrain and Behavior, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
We introduce the shoulder rotation test, a simple bedside test combining the MRC scoring of shoulder internal rotation (IR) and external rotation (ER), for discriminating between functional weakness (FW) and structural weakness (SW) of the upper limbs.

Impact of hematologic complete response in the treatment of sporadic late‐onset nemaline myopathy associated with monoclonal gammopathy

open access: yesClinical Case Reports, 2021
Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) may be associated with pathologies with severe neuromuscular manifestations such as sporadic late‐onset nemaline myopathy (SLONM).

CRISPR Activation Reveals the Spliceogenicity of an Intronic NEB Variant in Fetuses With Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita 6

open access: yesClinical Genetics, Volume 109, Issue 4, Page 772-777, April 2026.
CRISPR activation of NEB in fibroblasts, followed by RNA‐sequencing, documents spliceogenic effects of a NEB intronic variant. The assay enabled variant reclassification as likely pathogenic, providing molecular diagnosis in fetuses with Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita 6.

In Vivo Function of the Chaperonin TRiC in α-Actin Folding during Sarcomere Assembly

open access: yesCell Reports, 2018
Summary: The TCP-1 ring complex (TRiC) is a multi-subunit group II chaperonin that assists nascent or misfolded proteins to attain their native conformation in an ATP-dependent manner.

ACTA1‐Related Adult‐Onset Scapuloperoneal Myopathy With Cores and Rods

open access: yesNeuropathology and Applied Neurobiology, Volume 52, Issue 2, April 2026.
We report a patient with an adult‐onset, slowly progressive, ACTA1‐related scapuloperoneal myopathy with cores and rods, determined by the heterozygous variant NM_001100.4:c.1001C > T, p.(Pro334Leu). The scapuloperoneal phenotype could represent a distinct subcategory, and the characterisation of this patient with a less severe, different clinical ...

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

open access: yesClinical 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

open access: yesMedicine 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.
