Article Synopsis
- *This study focused on the genetic causes of HI in the Malian population through whole exome sequencing, uncovering variants in multiple known HI genes and identifying a novel candidate gene, UBFD1.
- *Results showed that 75% of the examined families had identifiable causes for HI, with many variants being newly identified and a case of digenic inheritance observed.
Background And Objectives: Developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) are a group of neurological disorders characterized by early-onset seizures that are often resistant to treatment, by electroencephalographic abnormalities, and by developmental delay or regression. Their genetic basis remains largely unelucidated, especially in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). We investigated the genetic bases of DEE in three Malian families.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground And Objectives: Progressive myoclonic epilepsy (PME) is a group of neurological disorders characterized by recurrent myoclonic seizures with progressive neurological deterioration. We investigated the genetics of three unrelated patients with PME from Mali, a country in sub-Saharan Africa highly underrepresented in genetic and genomic research.
Methods: Participants were carefully examined and phenotyped.
The First Case of Huntington's Disease like 2 in Mali, West Africa.

Background: Huntington's disease like 2 (HDL2) has been reported exclusively in patients with African ancestry, mostly originating from South Africa.
Case Report: We report three patients in Mali including a proband and his two children who have been examined by neurologists and psychiatrists after giving consent. They were aged between 28 and 56 years old.
