Genetic mutations in retinol dehydrogenase 5 (RDH5), a rate-limiting enzyme of the visual cycle, is associated with nyctalopia, AMD and stationary congenital fundus albipunctatus (FA). A majority of these mutations impair RDH5 protein expression and intracellular localization. However, the regulatory mechanisms underlying RDH5 metabolism remain unclear.

Severe congenital neutropenia (SCN) is frequently associated with dominant point mutations in ELANE, the gene encoding neutrophil elastase (NE). Chronic administration of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is a first-line treatment of ELANE-mutant (ELANEmut) SCN. However, some ELANEmut patients including patients with ELANE start codon mutations do not respond to G-CSF.

Epilepsy is a common neurological condition that arises from dysfunctional neuronal circuit control due to either acquired or innate disorders. Autophagy is an essential neuronal housekeeping mechanism, which causes severe proteotoxic stress when impaired. Autophagy impairment has been associated to epileptogenesis through a variety of molecular mechanisms.

Acute rhabdomyolysis (RM) constitutes a life-threatening emergency resulting from the (acute) breakdown of skeletal myofibers, characterized by a plasma creatine kinase (CK) level exceeding 1000 IU/L in response to a precipitating factor. Genetic predisposition, particularly inherited metabolic diseases, often underlie RM, contributing to recurrent episodes. Both sporadic and congenital forms of RM share common triggers.

The HSP70 co-chaperone BAG3 targets unfolded proteins to degradation via chaperone assisted selective autophagy (CASA), thereby playing pivotal roles in the proteostasis of adult cardiomyocytes (CMs). However, the complex functions of BAG3 for regulating autophagy in cardiac disease are not completely understood. Here, we demonstrate that conditional inactivation of Bag3 in murine CMs leads to age-dependent dysregulation of autophagy, associated with progressive cardiomyopathy.
