Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates a specific case of congenital myasthenia caused by a deletion mutation in the SLC5A7 gene in a Chinese male, characterized by fluctuating limb weakness and confirmed through genetic testing.
  • - Both the patient's mother and brother also showed a deletion in exon 9 of the SLC5A7 gene, indicating a hereditary component to this genetic disorder.
  • - Findings suggest that mutations in certain exons of the SLC5A7 gene can affect the choline transporter's function, pointing to the need for careful family history assessment and advanced genetic testing in similar cases of myasthenic symptoms.

A fast and reliable HPLC method for the simultaneous separation of anthocyanins and flavonols in lotus petals was developed based on the study of four candidate solvent systems. Fifteen flavonoids were identified by high-performance liquid chromatography with photodiode array detection/mass spectrometry. Among them, two anthocyanins and nine flavonols were discovered in lotus petals for the first time.
