Between myopathy and mortality: Challenges in the diagnosis of PLOD1-related kyphoscoliotic Ehlers-Danlos syndrome

Objective PLOD1-related kyphoscoliotic Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (kEDS) is a rare autosomal recessive connective tissue disorder characterized by generalized joint laxity, severe congenital hypotonia, progressive kyphoscoliosis, hyperextensible and easily bruised skin, ocular abnormalities, and significant vascular compli...

Pathogenicity of NUSAP1 Variants Is Defined by NMD-Escape: Evidence From Two Novel Cases and Systematic Population-Based Variant Analysis.

A critical region at the 3' region of NUSAP1 is delineated, where nonsense variants introduce a premature termination codon and escape NMD, which is absent from healthy controls, while frameshift variants producing C-terminal elongations appear tolerated.

Monoallelic loss-of-function variants in ZNF536 are associated with a neurodevelopmental disorder with prominent behavioral features

Clinical cohort findings that rare monoallelic LoF variants in ZNF536 underlie a genetic neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by developmental delay, autism, and behavioral dysregulation support a role for ZNF536 as a dosage-sensitive regulator of cortical development.

Resolving Complex Structural Variants in Undiagnosed Rare Movement Disorders via Multimodal Genomics and Multi-omics.

The findings underscore the diagnostic potential of integrated long-read and multi-omic approaches for complex structural variant characterization, while illustrating persistent limitations of automated pipelines and highlighting unpredictable relationships between genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic findings.

Splice effect of a synonymous variant in AP4B1: multiomics approach establishes the diagnosis in two sisters with spastic paraplegia

The identification of biallelic causative variants in AP4B1 established the diagnosis of monogenic “Spastic paraplegia 47, autosomal recessive” while the initial hypothesis of digenic inheritance was refuted.
