Histone Deacetylase 6 Brain PET in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis‐Frontotemporal Spectrum Disorder
ABSTRACT Objective [18F]EKZ‐001 is a positron emission tomography (PET) tracer targeting histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6), an enzyme responsible for intracellular transport and clearance of misfolded proteins. HDAC6 modulation is a promising treatment strategy in neurodegenerative disorders, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Molecular analysis of survival motor neuron (SMN) and neuronal apoptosis inhibitory protein (NAIP) genes in spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) patients in Malaysia [RJ482.A83 W333 2008 f rb]. [PDF]
Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) adalah sejenis penyakit kelemahan saraf otot yang akhirnya menyebabkan kemerosotan otot. Penyakit ini disebabkan oleh mutasi pada gen Survival Motor Neuron 1 (SMN1).

Effect of the Butyrate Prodrug Pivaloyloxymethyl Butyrate (AN9) on a Mouse Model for Spinal Muscular Atrophy. [PDF]
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an early-onset motor neuron disease that leads to loss of muscle function. Butyrate (BA)-based compounds markedly improve the survival and motor phenotype of SMA mice.

Myostatin Levels in SMA Following Disease‐Modifying Treatments: A Multi‐Center Study
ABSTRACT Objective This study investigated myostatin levels in SMA patients receiving disease‐modifying therapies (DMTs) to understand their relationship with treatment duration and functional status. Methods Our study includes both cross‐sectional and longitudinal analyses of myostatin levels in treated SMA patients.

Knowledge is power? : the role of experiential knowledge in genetically 'risky' reproductive decisions [PDF]
Knowledge of the condition being tested for is increasingly acknowledged as an important factor in prenatal testing and screening decisions. An analysis of the way in which family members living with an inheritable condition use and value this knowledge ...

ABSTRACT Objective To provide a comprehensive clinical and genetic characterization of individuals with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC), focusing on the distribution of genetic etiologies across the neuromuscular spectrum and comparing myogenic and neurogenic subtypes. Methods A total of 105 individuals with AMC were clinically and genetically
