Background: Veno-occlusive disease (VOD) and transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TA-TMA) remain a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). Both VOD and TA-TMA share an underlying etiology of microvascular endothelial damage. Potential under-recognition of TA-TMA in the context of VOD leaves HSCT recipients vulnerable to additional endothelial damage, and risk of end-organ failure.

Recently, it was reported that the biallelic COQ4 variants may be a potential cause of hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP). This study aims to describe the clinical features and genotype of the COQ4 associated hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP).

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) usually causes mild, self-limiting, or asymptomatic infection in children, typically infectious mononucleosis. The severe course is more common in immunocompromised patients. Neurological complications of primary infection, reactivation of the latent infection, or immune-mediated are well-documented.

While genetic background influences onset and progression variability of motor dysfunction, the C57BL/6 background most reliably exhibits robust ALS phenotypes; thus, it is the most widely used strain in mechanistic studies. In this model, paresis begins in the hindlimbs and spreads rostrally to the forelimbs.
