A Novel De Novo TUBB3 Variant Causing Developmental Delay, Epilepsy and Mild Ophthalmological Symptoms in a Chinese Child

Jiao Xue et al.

Summary: Heterozygous missense mutations in TUBB3 are associated with various neurological disorders, with this study reporting a rare case of an eye muscle disorder patient presenting with seizures but lacking congenital cortical development abnormalities, expanding the spectrum of TUBB3 phenotypes. The findings suggest that the phenotypic range of TUBB3 mutations may exist on a more continuous spectrum.

KIF21A pathogenic variants cause congenital fibrosis of extraocular muscles type 3

Christiane Al-Haddad et al.

Summary: CFEOM is a disorder characterized by eye muscle abnormalities, with mutations in the KIF21A and TUBB3 genes being potential causes, with varying presentations across different families. This suggests a genetic modifier may be at play in Middle Eastern or Chinese populations affected by CFEOM.

The Function-Preserving Frontalis Orbicularis Oculi Muscle Flap for the Correction of Severe Blepharoptosis With Poor Levator Function

Shu-Hung Huang et al.

Summary: The function-preserving FOOM flap is an effective method for correcting severe blepharoptosis with poor levator function. The surgical outcomes showed significant improvements in palpebral fissure height and marginal reflex distance postoperatively, with low rates of complications and favorable aesthetic results.

Novel variants in TUBA1A cause congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles with or without malformations of cortical brain development

Julie A. Jurgens et al.

Summary: Variants in tubulin genes, specifically TUBA1A, have been linked to neurodevelopmental disorders such as CFEOM, with MRI findings showing oculomotor muscle abnormalities and brain structural anomalies. Certain mutated residues in tubulins are associated with tubulin dimerization or protofilament interactions, expanding our understanding of tubulinopathies.
