Liver Steatosis in Induced Hepatocytes From Carriers of Spinal Muscular Atrophy

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Although classically characterized as a motor neuron disease, spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is increasingly recognized as a multisystem disorder. We previously showed hepatocyte‐intrinsic steatosis in SMA, raising the question of whether SMA carriers, who are typically asymptomatic, may also exhibit subclinical hepatic ...

Electrophysiological Changes in Pediatric Spinal Muscular Atrophy: Results From an Observational Study

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Previous studies of children with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) have focused on the ulnar and median nerves, while lower‐limb and proximal motor nerves remain insufficiently characterized. This study aimed to evaluate compound muscle action potential (CMAP) amplitudes in upper‐ and lower‐limb motor nerves in children with SMA

Physiological barriers to oral intake in survivors of critical illness: A scoping review

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Oral nutrition is the predominant mode of nutrition delivery on the post–Intensive Care Unit (ICU) ward; yet, it is associated with lower intake than via enteral or parenteral nutrition. There are limited data on barriers that influence oral intake in ICU survivors.

The Expanding Role of Gene Sequencing in Shaping Fetal Therapies: Clinical and Ethical Considerations

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In utero interventions are transformative in addressing genetic and anatomic conditions during fetal development. Next generation sequencing enables early genetic testing, playing a pivotal role in prenatal decision‐making by supporting risk stratification, precise and timely diagnosis, which directly informs eligibility for fetal surgical and

Diagnostic Value of Exome Sequencing in Isolated Polyhydramnios

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the diagnostic yield of exome sequencing (ES) in isolated polyhydramnios. Methods This retrospective study included 40 cases of isolated polyhydramnios. All patients underwent screening for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA).

Spinal muscular atrophy [PDF]

, 1995
Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is one of many neuromuscular diseases affect ing motor neurons and skeletal muscles. This disorder causes deterioration of the motor neurons (specifically the Anterior Horn Cells of the spinal cord). These motor neurons that

Discovery of a small molecule probe that post-translationally stabilizes the survival motor neuron protein for the treatment of spinal muscular atrophy. [PDF]

, 2017
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is the leading genetic cause of infant death. We previously developed a high-throughput assay that employs an SMN2-luciferase reporter allowing identification of compounds that act transcriptionally, enhance exon recognition,

Clinical Utility of Nuchal Translucency Measurement in First‐Trimester Ultrasound Screening in a Setting With First‐Tier NIPT for Aneuploidy Screening

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To investigate the additional clinical value of nuchal translucency (NT) measurement at the first‐trimester anomaly scan (FTAS) in a setting with first‐tier non‐invasive prenatal testing (NIPT). Method This nationwide prospective cohort study, part of the IMITAS study on FTAS implementation, included all pregnancies with increased NT

Diagnosed After Birth—But Detectable Before? A Cohort Study of Prenatal Testing Potential

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the yield of prenatal genetic testing in infants with a confirmed genetic diagnosis. Methods We retrospectively reviewed records of infants with a genetic diagnosis who were evaluated using a standardized genetic consult and testing approach. The predicted yield of various prenatal genetic sceening and diagnostic tools in
