Whole‐transcriptome sequencing in blood provides a diagnosis of spinal muscular atrophy with progressive myoclonic epilepsy

Human Mutation, 2017
At least 15% of the disease‐causing mutations affect mRNA splicing. Many splicing mutations are missed in a clinical setting due to limitations of in silico prediction algorithms or their location in noncoding regions. Whole‐transcriptome sequencing is a

Disease Modifying Therapies for the Management of Children with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (5q SMA): An Update on the Emerging Evidence

Drug Design, Development and Therapy, 2022
SMA (5q SMA) is an autosomal recessive neuromuscular disease with an estimated incidence of approximately 1 in 11,000 live births, characterized by progressive degeneration and loss of α-motor neurons in the spinal cord and brain stem, resulting in ...

Clinical Characteristics of Parkinsonism in HTLV‐1‐Associated Myelopathy

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Human T‐lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV‐1)‐associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) is the classic neurological manifestation of HTLV‐1 infection; however, this virus has also been associated with other neurological disorders. Concurrent parkinsonism is relatively rare and presents diagnostic challenges.

Impaired Nuclear Export of Polyglutamine-Expanded Androgen Receptor in Spinal and Bulbar Muscular Atrophy. [PDF]

, 2019
Spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA) is a neuromuscular disease caused by polyglutamine (polyQ) expansion in the androgen receptor (AR). Prior studies have highlighted the importance of AR nuclear localization in SBMA pathogenesis; therefore, in ...

Remaining Burden of Spinal Muscular Atrophy Among Treated Patients: A Survey of Patients and Caregivers

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) significantly impacts motor function. This study aimed to assess the persistent burden and unmet needs among currently treated patients with SMA and their caregivers. Methods Two complementary web‐based surveys were distributed in August 2024 among patients with SMA and their caregivers.

Current evidence for treatment with nusinersen for spinal muscular atrophy : a systematic review [PDF]

, 2019
Recent discovery of nusinersen, an antisense oligonucleotide drug, has provided encouragement for improving treatment of spinal muscular atrophy. No therapeutic options currently exist for this autosomal recessive motor neuron disorder.

Microphysiological Glomerular Filtration Barriers: Current Insights, Innovations, and Future Applications

Advanced Biology, EarlyView.
The glomerular filtration barrier (GFB) is the first step of blood filtration by the kidneys. The concerning increase of kidney diseases makes the development of new models essential. In this context, microphysiological glomerular filtration barriers focus on closely reproducing the physiological architecture of the in vivo GFB: podocytes, glomerular ...
