Epidemiology of progressive intellectual and neurological deterioration in UK children

Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, Volume 68, Issue 3, Page 418-428, March 2026.
This study of PIND in UK children was carried out via the British Paediatric Surveillance Unit from 1997 to 2024. It identified six cases of vCJD. 2367 children had other diagnoses explain their deterioration. There were 259 other diseases in the diagnosed group.

Therapeutic Effects of Nizubaglustat in a Mouse Model of GM2 Gangliosidosis

Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, Volume 49, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Nizubaglustat is a novel selective inhibitor of glucosylceramide synthase (GCS) and the non‐lysosomal glucocerebrosidase (NLGase, GbA2) with brain penetrant properties. It is currently in clinical development as an oral treatment for rare lysosomal storage diseases with neurological involvement. One such disease group called GM2 gangliosidosis,

Generalized accumulation of neutral glycosphingolipids with GM2 ganglioside accumulation in the brain

Journal of Lipid Research, 1972
Analyses have been made of glycosphingolipids from visceral organs and brain of a patient with an unusual lipid storage disorder diagnosed initially as classical Tay-Sachs disease. Levels of the lipids from fresh-frozen sections of gray and white matter,

Characterization of inducible models of Tay-Sachs and related disease. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2012
Tay-Sachs and Sandhoff diseases are lethal inborn errors of acid β-N-acetylhexosaminidase activity, characterized by lysosomal storage of GM2 ganglioside and related glycoconjugates in the nervous system.

Targeted Carrier Screening for Thalassemia, Hereditary Deafness, and Spinal Muscular Atrophy: A Feasible Approach for Preventing Birth Defects in China's Community Healthcare System

Molecular Genetics &Genomic Medicine, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2026.
Current carrier screening primarily focuses on high detection rates and broad testing ranges. We approach the issue from the perspective of a community physician, evaluating the suitability of carrier screening based on factors such as cost, ease of report interpretation, and compliance issues.

The physiological and pathological effects of sphingolipid metabolism and signaling in the central nervous system

Brain Pathology, Volume 36, Issue 1, January 2026.
Sphingolipids are vital components of cell membranes. Metabolic disruptions of sphingolipids, including ceramide and sphingosine‐1‐phosphate, are linked to neurological disorders. This article summarizes the classification, structure, and metabolic processes of sphingolipids, and the physiological and pathological effects of sphingolipid metabolism and

Narratives before numbers: Reimagining conversations about race, ethnicity, and ancestry information in genetic counseling practice

Journal of Genetic Counseling, Volume 34, Issue 6, December 2025.
Abstract As genomic testing becomes more common, it is essential to re‐examine practical and ethical arguments for and against eliciting race, ethnicity, and ancestry (REA) information from patients as a default practice in genetic counseling. In this article, we evaluate current and historical reasons for using REA information in clinical genetics ...

A Zebra in Horse's Clothing: Rethinking the Diagnosis of Rare Diseases

Molecular Genetics &Genomic Medicine, Volume 13, Issue 12, December 2025.
We analyze rare diseases with common presentations to reexamine genetic testing principles. In proposing criteria that emphasize patient capacity, test utility, and proportional invasiveness, we highlight gaps between guidelines and current practice. Coordinated, patient‐centered approaches are critical to maximize benefits, minimize harms, and inform ...

Spasmodic Dysphonia

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, Volume 11, Issue 4, Page 548-567, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Spasmodic dysphonia is a laryngeal dystonia that can present as adductor, abductor, or mixed types, with or without tremor. The etiology is not understood fully. Comprehensive evaluation is required to establish the diagnosis. Treatments include voice therapy, medications, botulinum toxin injection, laryngeal surgery, deep brain stimulation ...
