Mutations in the Key Autophagy Tethering Factor EPG5 Link Neurodevelopmental and Neurodegenerative Disorders Including Early‐Onset Parkinsonism

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, Volume 98, Issue 5, Page 932-950, November 2025.
Objective Autophagy is a fundamental biological pathway with vital roles in intracellular homeostasis. During autophagy, defective cargoes including mitochondria are targeted to lysosomes for clearance and recycling. Recessive truncating variants in the autophagy gene EPG5 have been associated with Vici syndrome, a severe early‐onset neurodevelopmental

Status Dystonicus in Children: Is it more Common than we Realize?

open access: yesMovement Disorders Clinical Practice, Volume 12, Issue 10, Page 1629-1634, October 2025.
Abstract Background Status dystonicus (SD) is the most severe form of dystonia, affecting predominantly children. SD is thought to be rare, but the incidence is unknown. Objective We aimed to: (1) assess the number of admissions involving SD (2) describe complications/intensive care unit (ICU) transfers, and (3) evaluate whether these changed with ...
