Published: April 2022

Objectives: To report a novel association between pathogenic variants in the gene and complex movement disorder with thin corpus callosum (TCC).

Methods: Clinical exome sequencing was performed in an adult patient with a genetically unsolved neurodegenerative disorder. The main clinical, neuroimaging, and genetic data were described.

Results: The c.865C > T (p.P289S) and c.1297T > C (p.Y433H) missense variants in (NM_016,955.3) were discovered.

Discussion: This case represents a novel form of early-onset pyramidal syndrome with optic nerve hypoplasia, which slowly evolved to extrapyramidal syndrome featuring dystonia-parkinsonism, associated with TCC, caused by pathogenic variants. This form enlarges the group of the so-called pyramidal-extrapyramidal syndromes, as well as complex hereditary spastic paraparesis with TCC.

Immune Cells and Intracerebral Hemorrhage: A Causal Investigation Through Mendelian Randomization.

Brain Behav

January 2025

Department of Neurology, The First Affiliated Hospital, Jinan University, Guangzhou, Guangdong, China.

Background: The involvement of immune cells in the pathophysiology of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is becoming increasingly recognized, yet their specific causal contributions remain uncertain. The objective of this research is to uncover the potential causal interactions between diverse immune cells and ICH using Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis.

Methods: Genetic variants associated with 731 immune cell traits were sourced from a comprehensive genome-wide association study (GWAS) involving 3757 participants.

Mutations in the genes , , and cause three clinically overlapping thrombocytopenias characterized by a predisposition to hematological neoplasms. The gene, which encodes a protein involved in protein-protein interactions, is downregulated by RUNX1 during megakaryopoiesis. Mutations in 5'UTR of ANKRD26, leading to ANKRD26-RT, disrupt this regulation, resulting in the persistent expression of ANKRD26, which leads to impaired platelet biogenesis and an increased risk of leukemia.

An 11-year-old girl with quiescent ulcerative colitis had sustained elevation of liver enzymes. Although she had no clinical symptoms suggestive of Wilson's disease, such as Kayser-Fleischer rings, laboratory data showed decreased serum copper and ceruloplasmin levels and increased urinary copper excretion. Genetic testing showed pathogenic variants in allele 1: c.

Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) is a genetic disorder due to pathogenic variants in the COL7A1 gene. In this study we determined the association between different categories of COL7A1 variants and clinical disease severity in 236 RDEB patients in North America. Published reports or in-silico predictions were used to assess the impact of pathogenic variants in COL7A1 on type VII collagen (C7) protein function.

Objectives: Niemann-Pick type C (NPC) is a rare, autosomal recessive, neurodegenerative disorder caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in the or genes, leading to lysosomal lipid accumulation. NPC has an incidence of 1 in 100,000 live births and presents with a wide range of symptoms affecting visceral organs and the central nervous system. We aim to describe the diverse clinical presentations of NPC through case studies.
