encodes an α1 isoform of Na/K-ATPase, which is expressed abundantly in kidneys and central nervous system. variants may cause Na/K-ATPase loss of function and lead to a wide spectrum of phenotypes. This study aims to summarize the clinical and genetic features of mutation-related disorders and explore the potential correlations between phenotypes and genotypes. We analyzed two new cases harboring novel variants and reviewed all reported cases. Both our probands had developmental delay, patient 1 accompanied with sleep disorders, irritability, and patient 2 with refractory seizures. They each had a novel heterozygous missense variant, c.2797G>A[p.Asp933Asn] (NM_000701) and c.2590G>A[p.Gly864Arg] (NM_000701) respectively. Four patients with variants have been reported in two previous papers. Among them, three patients had refractory seizures and one patient had complex hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP). Therefore, all six patients had developmental delay, and four of them had epilepsy. All variants located in the transmembrane regions M3, M4, M7, and M8 of ATP1A1 protein. Four patients with mutations in M3 and M7 had more severe phenotypes, including developmental delay and epileptic encephalopathy, three of them with hypomagnesemia, whereas two patients with mutations in M4 and M8 had milder phenotypes, only with mild developmental delay, without seizures or hypomagnesemia. Correcting hypomagnesemia had not controlled those seizures. Two novel variants identified in two patients here enriched the genotypic and phenotypic spectrum of mutation-related disorder. Our findings suggest that hypomagnesemia in this disorder might relate to more severe phenotype and indicate more severe Na/K-ATPase dysfunction. Variations in M3 and M7 transmembrane regions were related to more severe phenotype than those in M4 and M8, which suggested that variations in M3 and M7 might cause more severe functional defect.

Introduction: The mortality rate among Human immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) who have started antiretroviral therapy (ART) continues to be increased in resource-limited countries, despite a decline in developed nations. Furthermore, research within this age group is limited and has not previously been conducted in the study area. Consequently, this study aimed to determine the incidence of mortality and its predictors among HIV-positive children who have been receiving ART at public health facilities in West Wollega.

Background: Trinucleotide repeat expansions are an emerging class of genetic variants associated with various movement disorders. Unbiased genome-wide analyses can reveal novel genotype-phenotype associations and provide a diagnosis for patients and families.

Objective: The aim was to identify the genetic cause of a severe progressive movement disorder phenotype in 2 affected brothers.

The cytoskeleton, composed of microtubules, intermediate filaments and actin filaments is vital for various cellular functions, particularly within the nervous system, where microtubules play a key role in intracellular transport, cell morphology, and synaptic plasticity. Tubulin-specific chaperones, including tubulin folding cofactors (TBCA, TBCB, TBCC, TBCD, TBCE), assist in the proper formation of α/β-tubulin heterodimers, essential for microtubule stability. Pathogenic variants in these chaperone-encoding genes, especially TBCD, have been linked to Progressive Encephalopathy with Brain Atrophy and Thin Corpus Callosum (PEBAT, OMIM #604,649), a severe neurodevelopmental disorder.

Background: Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common permanent neuromotor disorder diagnosed in childhood. Although most cases have unknown etiology, emerging evidence suggests environmental risk factors of CP.

Objectives: We investigated whether ambient toxic air contaminants (TACs) in the maternal residential area during pregnancy, specifically volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and metals, were associated with offspring CP risk in California.

Novel mutations found in genes involved in global developmental delay and intellectual disability by whole-exome sequencing, homology modeling, and systems biology.

World J Biol Psychiatry

Division of Genetics, Department of Cell and Molecular Biology and Microbiology, Faculty of Biological Science and Technology, University of Isfahan, Isfahan, Iran.

Background: Genes associated with global developmental delay (GDD) and intellectual disability (ID) are increasingly being identified through next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies. This study aimed to identify novel mutations in GDD/ID phenotypes through whole-exome sequencing (WES) and additional analyses.

Material And Methods: WES was performed on 27 subjects, among whom 18 were screened for potential novel mutations.
