High‐Fat Diet Exacerbates Neuropathology in a Transgenic Mouse Model of Multiple System Atrophy
Abstract Background Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a rare and devastating neurodegenerative disorder. Accumulating clinical and preclinical evidence suggests that diabetes and insulin resistance may adversely influence MSA pathophysiology. Objective We investigated the potential association between diabetes, impaired glucose homeostasis, and MSA ...

ABSTRACT The congenital myasthenic syndromes are rare disorders of impaired signal transmission at the neuromuscular junction. Despite next generation sequencing facilitating the identification of variants in myasthenic‐associated genes, these variants are frequently of unknown significance and the clinical diagnosis can be delayed.

Muscle‐Specific Kinase Signaling and Its Therapeutic Potential
ABSTRACT The function of the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is compromised in many neuromuscular diseases (NMDs) such as autoimmune or congenital myasthenia gravis (MG), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), and muscular dystrophies.

Effectiveness and Safety of Setmelanotide in a Patient With a Heterozygous PCSK1 Deficiency
ABSTRACT Setmelanotide, a melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R) agonist, is a promising pharmacological treatment option for people with rare monogenic obesity conditions affecting the leptin‐melanocortin signaling pathway, including proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 1 (PCSK1) gene mutations.

Development of a High‐Throughput Microarray Platform for Rapid, Low‐Cost Expanded Carrier Screening
ABSTRACT Objective To develop a customized expanded carrier screening (ECS) solution for 8271 variants of 265 genes. Based on a microarray platform, this solution demonstrates comparable accuracy to next‐generation sequencing (NGS) platform; however, it has a lower cost, a faster speed, and a simplified data—analysis process.
