”Not always the magic bullet”—Insufficient seizure control by ketogenic dietary therapies in Glut1 Deficiency Syndrome

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Ketogenic dietary therapies (KDTs) are the treatment of choice for Glut1 Deficiency Syndrome (Glut1DS), providing dietary ketones as an alternative fuel to the brain and effectively controlling seizures. Recent evidence indicates insufficient seizure control in Glut1DS patients despite adequate KDT and ketosis.

A novel nonsense NBEAL2 gene mutation causing severe bleeding in a patient with gray platelet syndrome

Platelets, 2018
Gray platelet syndrome (GPS) is a rare, inherited bleeding disorder characterized by the defect of platelet α-granule. Up to date, these are only four studies identifying NBEAL2 gene correlated with GPS.

KCNQ2 neonatal epilepsy: Impact of prompt diagnosis and treatment, and early predictors of outcome severity

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
The impact of prompt diagnosis and treatment, and early predictors of outcome severity in this cohort. Abstract Objective To determine whether prompt genetic diagnosis in children with KCNQ2 neonatal epilepsy enabling targeted therapy is associated with improved outcomes, and identify early predictors of developmental outcomes.

Neurolathyrism in Sub‐Saharan Africa—Assessing the Neurotoxic Risks of Lathyrus sativus Amid Drought and Food Security Challenges

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Representation of grass pea consumption in drought‐stricken sub‐Saharan Africa sustains nutrition, but excess β‐ODAP exposure due to multiple reasons triggers neurolathyrism, a progressive neurotoxic disorder. ABSTRACT Neurolathyrism is a progressive motor neuron disease due to the consumption of Lathyrus sativus (grass pea) over long periods.

Gene signatures characterizing driver mutations in lung squamous carcinoma are predictive of the progression of pre‐cancer lesions

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? Lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) is more aggressive than lung adenocarcinoma, and is most often diagnosed at an advanced stage. Here, the authors evaluated gene expression data from LUSC tumors and came up with gene signatures for 34 genetic abnormalities whose expression changes throughout different precancerous stages. Several of these

Digenic CHD7 and SMCHD1 inheritance Unveils phenotypic variability in a family mainly presenting with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism

Heliyon
Objectives: CHARGE syndrome is a congenital hereditary condition involving multiple systems. Patients are easily misdiagnosed with idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH) due to the overlap of clinical manifestations.

A multilevel perspective on MSH6‐associated Lynch syndrome: Integrating molecular, biological, and clinical insights

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
Abstract Lynch syndrome (LS) is the most common hereditary colorectal cancer syndrome, caused by a germline pathogenic variant in one of the mismatch repair (MMR) genes. Among these, MSH6‐associated LS represents a distinct subtype with unique molecular and clinical characteristics.

, 2017
Inherited retinal dystrophies are an important cause of blindness, for which currently there are no effective treatments. In order to study this heterogeneous group of diseases, adequate disease models are required in order to better understand pathology
