Biallelic Variants in the DARS2 Gene as a Novel Cause of Axonal Charcot–Marie–Tooth Disease

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Charcot–Marie–Tooth (CMT) disease is a heterogeneous group of genetic neuropathies, with >90 genes identified. Several aminoacyl‐tRNA synthetases have been linked to CMT. DARS2, encoding the mitochondrial aspartyl‐tRNA synthetase, has been typically associated with leukoencephalopathy with brainstem and spinal cord involvement and lactate ...

TARDBP (TDP‐43) Knock‐in Zebrafish Display a Late‐Onset Motor Phenotype and Loss of Large Spinal Cord Motor Neurons

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Mutations in TARDBP (encoding TDP‐43) are associated with the neurodegenerative disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and include familial missense mutations where there are a lack of models and mechanisms examining how they are pathogenic.

Co‐Opting MBNL‐Dependent Alternative Splicing Cassette Exons to Control Gene Therapy in Myotonic Dystrophy

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a highly variable, multisystemic genetic disorder caused by a CTG repeat expansion in the 3′ untranslated region of DMPK. Toxicity is exerted by repeat‐containing DMPK transcripts that sequester muscleblind‐like (MBNL) proteins and lead to deleterious yet predictable changes in alternative splicing.

Resilience to Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Mitigates Membrane Hyperexcitability Underlying Late Disease Onset in a Murine Model of SCA6

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective An enduring puzzle in many inherited neurological disorders is the late onset of symptoms despite expression of function‐impairing mutant protein early in life. We examined the basis for onset of impairment in spinocerebellar ataxia type 6 (SCA6), a canonical late‐onset neurodegenerative ataxia which results from a polyglutamine expansion in ...
