Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in many cellular processes while displaying high tissue specificity. In contrast, protein-coding genes, including the category of housekeeping ones, exhibit broad expression patterns. The aim of this study was to highlight the functional importance of widely expressed lncRNAs.

Context: Pathogenic variants in the TBCE gene, encoding tubulin-specific chaperone E crucial for tubulin folding, are linked to three severe neurodevelopmental disorders: Hypoparathyroidism-retardation-dysmorphism (HRD) syndrome, Kenny-Caffey syndrome type 1, and progressive encephalopathy with amyotrophy and optic atrophy.

Objective: We identified patients with a novel, milder TBCE-associated phenotype and aimed to characterize it at the clinical and molecular levels.

Materials And Methods: We conducted splicing analysis using deep NGS sequencing of RT-PCR products and detected TBCE through Western blotting.

Recent research has sparked a discussion on the spectrum of diseases linked to the gene associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and distal myopathy with vocal cord and pharyngeal weakness (VCPDM). To date, fewer than 50 cases of VCPDM have been reported in the literature. We aim to build upon the work of previous researchers by gathering additional information about VCPDM.

Multiple osteochondromas (MO) is a rare autosomal dominant skeletal disorder characterized by the development of multiple benign tumors known as osteochondromas. The condition is predominantly caused by loss-of-function variants in the or genes, facilitating relatively precise clinical diagnosis through established diagnostic criteria. Despite this, a notable percentage of MO cases (10%-20%) remains unresolved after sequencing coding regions and copy number analysis of both genes.

A case of DEE98, a rare developmental and epileptic encephalopathy related to previously reported the missense mutation p.Arg908Gln in the gene, is described. A girl examined first time in 11 months had microcephaly, severe mental and motor delay, strabismus, spastic paraparesis and pachypolymicrogyria on brain MRI that is atypical for DEE98.
