Quantitative retrospective natural history modeling of WDR45-related developmental and epileptic encephalopathy - a systematic cross-sectional analysis of 160 published cases

Afshin Saffari et al.

Summary: WDR45-related neurodevelopmental disorder is a clinically-heterogeneous congenital disorder with a low survival rate and bi-phasic evolution, with females tending to have milder symptoms. Statistical analysis of case data can help facilitate early diagnosis.

Clinical and genetic spectra of 1550 index patients with hereditary spastic paraplegia

Jean-Loup Mereaux et al.

Summary: This study reports the clinical and genetic results of a large cohort of patients with hereditary spastic paraplegia. A causative variant was found in 30.7% of the patients, with SPAST and SPG7 being the most frequently mutated genes. A two-step strategy combining gene panels and whole-exome sequencing is proposed to improve the diagnostic yield.

Transverse endoplasmic reticulum expansion in hereditary spastic paraplegia corticospinal axons

Peng-Peng Zhu et al.

Summary: Researchers have generated an early onset rodent model of hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP), which displays reliable behavioral and cellular readouts for testing novel therapies. The study reveals that in this model, the morphology of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) undergoes changes that are linked to alterations in mitochondrial morphology and cytoskeletal organization.

Lara M. Lange et al.

Summary: This study presents a new system for naming genetically determined movement disorders and provides an updated list of newly confirmed monogenic causes of movement disorders. The classification of certain genetic conditions has been refined, and a new category of mixed movement disorders has been introduced. These updated lists serve as a valuable resource for clinicians and researchers.

Novel CAPN1 missense variants in complex hereditary spastic paraplegia with early-onset psychosis

Julian E. Alecu et al.

Summary: CAPN1-associated hereditary spastic paraplegia (SPG76) is a rare and clinically heterogeneous syndrome caused by the loss of calpain-1 function. In this study, we present a translational approach to a case of an 18-year-old patient who initially showed psychiatric symptoms followed by spastic gait, intention tremor, and neurogenic bladder dysfunction, which are characteristic of a complex form of HSP. Genetic analysis revealed compound-heterozygous missense variants in CAPN1 and a previously reported heterozygous stop-gain variant in RCL1. In silico and in vitro functional studies confirmed the deleterious effect of the CAPN1 variants on calpain-1 activity and downstream signaling. These findings support the diagnosis of SPG76 and highlight the possibility of multiple gene involvement in complex neuropsychiatric diseases.

PNPLA6/NTE, an Evolutionary Conserved Phospholipase Linked to a Group of Complex Human Diseases

Doris Kretzschmar

Summary: PNPLA6/NTE is a protein associated with neurodegenerative and genetic diseases, and its mutations may result in various clinical symptoms. Research has shown that PNPLA6/NTE plays an important role in the brain and knockout or mutations may lead to neuronal degeneration and locomotory defects.

Genotype-phenotype associations in hereditary spastic paraplegia: a systematic review and meta-analysis on 13,570 patients

Maryam Erfanian Omidvar et al.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic meta-analysis of genotype-phenotype associations in HSP patients, revealing specific mutated genes are associated with age of disease onset and specific sub-phenotypes. The findings could be beneficial for diagnosis and differentiation of the specific mutated genes phenotype among different forms of HSP.

The Human Phenotype Ontology in 2021

Sebastian Koehler et al.

Summary: The Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) serves as a global standard for phenotype exchange, with recent major extensions in neurology, nephrology, immunology, pulmonology, and other fields. Efforts have been made to improve computational definitions of phenotypic abnormalities across HPO and multiple phenotype ontologies for animal disease models, benefiting software accuracy and cross-species phenotype matching. Recent initiatives include translating HPO into indigenous languages and advancing its use in electronic health record systems.
