Purpose: To study the effects of bilateral medial rectus recession for the management of adult onset age-related distance esotropia.
Methods: Ten patients with adult onset age-related distance esotropia measuring 14 prism diopters or greater underwent bilateral medial rectus recession to eliminate the need for prism glasses.
Results: In all but one case, the diplopia completely resolved postoperatively, with a median residual deviation of 1 prism diopter esophoria for distance and 2 prism diopters exophoria at near.
Conclusion: Bilateral medial rectus recession is a useful technique for the management of adult onset age-related distance esotropia.

Family Genetic Risk Communication and Reverse Cascade Testing in the BabySeq Project.

Division of Genetics and Genomics, Boston Children's Hospital, Boston, MA; The Manton Center for Orphan Disease Research, Boston Children's Hospital, Boston, MA; Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA.
Purpose: Genomic sequencing of newborns (NBSeq) can initiate disease surveillance and therapy for children, and may identify at-risk relatives through reverse cascade testing. We explored genetic risk communication and reverse cascade testing among families of newborns who underwent exome sequencing and had a risk for autosomal dominant disease identified.
Methods: We conducted semi-structured interviews with parents of newborns enrolled in the BabySeq Project who had a pathogenic or likely-pathogenic (P/LP) variant associated with an autosomal dominant (AD) childhood- and/or adult-onset disease returned.

Eur J Neurol
January 2025
Service de Génétique Médicale, CHU Bordeaux, Bordeaux, France.
Purpose: Heterozygous pathogenic variants in SPAST are known to cause Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia 4 (SPG4), the most common form of HSP, characterized by progressive bilateral lower limbs spasticity with frequent sphincter disorders. However, there are very few descriptions in the literature of patients carrying biallelic variants in SPAST.
Methods: Targeted Sanger sequencing, panel sequencing and exome sequencing were used to identify the genetic causes in 9 patients from 6 unrelated families with symptoms of HSP or infantile neurodegenerative disorder.
