Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the prevalence, clinical features, and genetic factors of mitochondrial diseases (MD) in Hong Kong by analyzing data from public hospitals from 1985 to 2020.
- A total of 119 MD patients were reviewed, revealing a prevalence rate of 1.02 cases per 100,000 people, with neurological issues being the most common symptoms and a 37% mortality rate within the cohort.
- The study highlights the predominance of pathogenic variants in the mitochondrial genome and serves as a foundational step towards creating a local MD registry for further research.
FLNC-related myofibrillar myopathy could manifest as autosomal dominant late-onset slowly progressive proximal muscle weakness; involvements of cardiac and/or respiratory functions are common. We describe 34 patients in nine families of FLNC-related myofibrillar myopathy in Hong Kong ethnic Chinese diagnosed over the last 12 years, in whom the same pathogenic variant c.8129G>A (p.

Objective: To develop and validate a new technique for the assessment of lumbar spine motion.
Summary Of Background Data: Spine instability, a clinical condition that is common but difficult to diagnose, has been suggested to involve a characteristic change in the relation between vertebrae during motion.
