ABSTRACT The flail limb syndrome is primarily a lower motor neuron disorder that initially affects proximal arm muscles (flail arm syndrome—FAS) or distal leg muscles (flail leg syndrome—FLS). Both were recognized early on (1886 for FAS and 1918 for FLS) as somewhat distinct from classic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Discovery of PHB1 as a Novel Candidate Gene in Dominant Optic Atrophy
A heterozygous PHB1 missense variant (p.Ser147Phe) segregates with autosomal dominant optic atrophy in a multi‐generation family. Structural and cellular analyses suggest altered mitochondrial dynamics, identifying PHB1 as a novel candidate gene for hereditary optic neuropathy. ABSTRACT Hereditary optic neuropathies comprise a genetically heterogeneous

We identified a novel pathogenic AVP variant in two Danish families with autosomal dominant inheritance of symptoms of AVP deficiency. In addition, we compiled a catalogue of additionally 109 AVP variants that cause AVP deficiency and demonstrated the advantage of combining expert‐assisted curation, literature search, and online repositories to ensure ...

A 17 Year Old With Developmental Delay Presenting With Increasing Confusion and Imbalance
ABSTRACT Methylmalonic acidemia is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder primarily caused by defects in methylmalonyl‐CoA mutase and cobalamin (vitamin B12) metabolism. These defects disrupt the tricarboxylic acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation, leading to the abnormal accumulation of metabolic products such as methylmalonic acid, propionic acid,

Safety considerations of gene‐based therapies for Alzheimer's disease
Abstract Gene‐based therapies show increasing promise for the treatment of neurologic disease. In 2016, nusinersen, an RNA‐based therapy, was approved for children with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Over 200 clinical trials have utilized gene therapy approaches for a host of neurodegenerative and neuromuscular disorders, including Alzheimer's disease (

Changes in body composition in genetic C9orf72 carriers: The role of the hypothalamus and thalamus
Abstract BACKGROUND Patients with sporadic frontotemporal dementia (FTD) display changes in metabolism and body composition. No studies have examined body composition changes in pre‐symptomatic C9orf72 mutation carriers METHODS Asymptomatic C9orf72 expansion carriers between 2017 and 2022 (n = 28 non‐carriers, 16 expansion‐positive), underwent dual ...
