Expanding Spectrum of FIG4‐Related Neurological Disorders of Lysosomal Homeostasis: Case Report and Overview of the Potential Genotype–Phenotype Correlations

Clinical Genetics, EarlyView.
FIG4 is essential for lysosomal homeostasis. FIG4‐related disorders present as a continuous spectrum from the juvenile lethality in Yunis‐Varon syndrome to an increased risk of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in adult life. FIG4‐related disorders comprise a novel group of disorders of lysosomal homeostasis and can be classified into severe ...

Diagnostic Yield and Clinical Impact of Comprehensive WES/WGS Testing Beyond Common Genetic Causes in Hereditary Optic Atrophy

Clinical Genetics, EarlyView.
Opticus atrophy—Genetic testing with WES/WGS in 62 patients with optic atrophy provided a genetic diagnosis in 21 patients (33.9%). 42.9% of these involved non‐OPA1 genes, including WFS1, ACO2, NR2F1, UCHL1, CACNA1F, and COQ2, where the genetic diagnosis prompted additional clinical evaluation, surveillance, or therapeutic intervention.

Mutation of CRYAB encoding a conserved mitochondrial chaperone and antiapoptotic protein causes hereditary optic atrophy

JCI Insight
The degeneration of retinal ganglion cells (RGC) due to mitochondrial dysfunctions manifests optic neuropathy. However, the molecular components of RGC linked to optic neuropathy manifestations remain largely unknown.

Inborn errors of immunity in children with neuroinflammation

Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
Abstract Inborn errors of immunity (IEIs), an expanding group of monogenic disorders with diverse clinical manifestations, are increasingly recognized to include neuroinflammatory disease. Examples of diseases included under this umbrella are Aicardi–Goutières syndrome, deficiency of adenosine deaminase 2, familial haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis ...

Activation of AMPK/OPA1 pathway alleviates traumatic brain damage by regulating mitophagy

Acta Cirúrgica Brasileira
Purpose: Mitophagy is an important process in brain damage, and the precise impact on a traumatic brain injury (TBI) model remains unclear. AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) regulates mitochondrial homeostasis and mitophagy, which are closely related ...

When to consider an inborn error of immunity: clues for physicians

Internal Medicine Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract The term inborn errors of immunity (IEIs) refers to the rapidly expanding group of genetic disorders causing dysregulation of the immune system. With improved genetic testing in recent years, the number of defined IEIs and their range of phenotypic presentations has grown vastly, with more than 550 IEIs now described.

Selumetinib as a Target Therapy in Progressive Paediatric Low‐Grade Gliomas—Case Series (pLGG)

Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Optic pathway gliomas (OPGs) occur in 15%–20% of children with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). While smaller gliomas may be only monitored, the current standard of care for symptomatic ones relies on chemotherapy, most commonly carboplatin and vincristine.
