Article Synopsis
  • The study aims to describe the phenotypic and genotypic spectrum of a neurodevelopmental disorder linked to a specific gene implicated in periventricular nodular heterotopia (PVNH).
  • Researchers examined 17 individuals with variants, identifying several types of genetic mutations and their effects on brain structure and function.
  • Findings highlighted a range of symptoms, including intellectual disability, seizures, microcephaly, and various neurological and sensory defects, confirming the gene's role in this autosomal dominant syndrome characterized by abnormal neuronal migration.

Background: Patients with inflammatory rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (iRMD) receiving mycophenolic acid (MPA) may have a less favourable outcome from COVID-19 infection. Our aim was to investigate whether MPA treatment is associated with severe infection and/or death.

Methods: IRMD patients with and without MPA treatment with highly suspected/confirmed COVID-19 were included in this observational multicentre study.

Phosphoinositides are lipids that play a critical role in processes such as cellular signalling, ion channel activity and membrane trafficking. When mutated, several genes that encode proteins that participate in the metabolism of these lipids give rise to neurological or developmental phenotypes. PI4KA is a phosphoinositide kinase that is highly expressed in the brain and is essential for life.

Young adults represent an increasingly large proportion of healthy volunteers in brain imaging research, but descriptions of incidental findings (IFs) in this age group are scarce. We aimed to assess the prevalence and severity of IFs on brain MRIs of healthy young research participants aged 18-35 years, and to describe the protocol implemented to handle them. The study population comprised 1,867 participants aged 22.

Background: To assess the feasibility, safety and efficacy of a percutaneous doughnut vertebroplasty of circumferential aggressive vertebral hemangiomas (VHs).

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed our prospectively collected database of patients with VHs treated with vertebroplasty between January 2009 and January 2018. Patient demographics, clinical presentations and procedural details were recorded.
