NGS-driven molecular diagnosis of heterogeneous hereditary neurological disorders reveals novel and known variants in disease-causing genes

Ayaz Khan et al.

Summary: This study used next-generation sequencing to accurately diagnose hereditary neurological disorders in 11 unrelated Pakistani families. Through genome sequencing, disease-causing genetic variants were identified, including four novel variants. This study not only expands the mutational spectrum of neurological disorders, but also has implications for genetic testing in other populations with these disorders.

A Novel Nonsense Variant in GRM1 Causes Autosomal Recessive Spinocerebellar Ataxia 13 in a Consanguineous Pakistani Family

Hammad Yousaf et al.

Summary: This study reports a novel pathogenic variant in the GRM1 gene in a consanguineous Pakistani family with partially overlapping clinical features of SCAR13. In addition, the family presented quadrupedal gait and non-progressive symptoms, which have not been recognized previously.

The History of Gene Hunting in Hereditary Spinocerebellar Degeneration: Lessons From the Past and Future Perspectives

Ashraf Yahia et al.

Summary: Hereditary spinocerebellar degeneration (SCD) comprises a group of rare diseases with diverse clinical and genetic characteristics, making diagnosis and management challenging. Precision medicine relies on accurate diagnosis, and discovering genes causing unknown conditions can guide patient and family management and lead to the identification of more genetic diseases.
