Article Synopsis
  • Exome sequencing (ES) can reveal secondary findings unrelated to the primary reason for testing, which may benefit patient care.
  • In this study, researchers analyzed 81 relevant genes in 443 patients with neurological disorders and identified 17 variants in 9 genes categorized into cancer, cardiovascular, and miscellaneous phenotypes.
  • Most of the variants were classified as either known pathogenic or expected pathogenic, suggesting that these findings could help prevent serious health issues and enhance understanding of genetic factors in the Serbian population.

Making diagnosis of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) is challenging since it can mimic a multitude of disorders, and is misdiagnosed in at least 50% of cases. We sought to determine the frequency of CIDP misdiagnosis in clinical practice in Serbia, to uncover CIDP mimics, and to identify factors that may aid in CIDP diagnosis. Our longitudinal retrospective cohort study included 86 eligible adult patients referred to the Neurology Clinic, University Clinical Centre of Serbia, with a diagnosis of CIDP.

Myotonic dystrophy type 2 (DM2) is an autosomal dominant multisystemic disorder. Previous studies conducted on small cohorts of DM2 patients indicated presence of a cognitive dysfunction. We aimed to assess cognitive functions in a larger cohort of Serbian DM2 patients using an extensive battery of neuropsychological tests.
