NEUROMYODredger: Whole Exome Sequencing for the Diagnosis of Neurodevelopmental and Neuromuscular Disorders in Seven Countries. [PDF]
NEUROMYODredger‐3billion Megaproject was created to provide a genetic diagnosis for 245 children and adults with neurologic disorders in seven countries for free. With whole exome sequencing on a single patient, we could end the diagnostic odyssey in around 30% of cases.

Disease Progression in Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease Type 4B (CMT4B) Associated With Mutations in Myotubularin-Related Proteins 2 and 13. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background and Aims In 2019, we conducted a cross‐sectional study, collecting information on 50 patients with CMT4B, an ultrarare CMT subtype, to better define the clinical phenotype. We now aimed at investigating disease progression in 26 patients with CMT4B1/CMT4B2, recruited from the previous study and among the Inherited Neuropathy ...

Loss of ANK3 Function Causes a Recessive Neurodevelopmental Disorder with Cerebellar Ataxia. [PDF]
Abstract Background ANK3 encodes ankyrin‐G, a key scaffolding protein essential for neuronal function. While both monoallelic and biallelic ANK3 variants have been linked to neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), existing evidence for their pathogenicity and clinical correlation remains limited and heterogeneous.

Current profile of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease in Africa: A systematic review. [PDF]
Abstract Background and aims Charcot‐Marie‐Tooth disease (CMT) is the most common inherited peripheral neuropathy characterised by a high clinical and genetic heterogeneity. While most cases were described in populations with Caucasian ancestry, genetic research on CMT in Africa is scant.

A novel TFG c.793C>G mutation in a Chinese pedigree with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease 2. [PDF]
TFG was a rare causative gene of CMT. In this study, we reported a novel TFG mutation in a Chinese pedigree with 8 CMT2 patients. Our report provided additional evidence that the heterozygous TFG mutations were associated with CMT2. b1: muscle atrophy of upper limbs in the proband (III‐14) b2: muscle atrophy of lower limbs in the proband (III‐14) b3 ...

Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Use and LRRK2 Parkinson's Disease Penetrance. [PDF]
The penetrance of leucine rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) mutations is incomplete and may be influenced by environmental and/or other genetic factors. Nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are known to reduce inflammation and may lower Parkinson's ...
