Vascular risk factors, including diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and obesity, pose significant health threats with implications extending to neuropsychiatric disorders such as stroke and Alzheimer's disease. The Asian population, in …
The reduced penetrance of TBP intermediate alleles and the recently proposed possible digenic TBP/STUB1 inheritance raised questions on the possible mechanism involved opening a debate on the existence of SCA48 as a monogenic disorder. We here …
Developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEEs) (OMIM#618,328) is characterized by seizures, hypotonia, and brain abnormalities, often arising from mutations in genes crucial for brain function. Among these genes, GLS stands out due to its vital …

Report of a new patient and review of the literature
Mannosyl-oligosaccharide glucosidase – congenital disorder of glycosylation (MOGS-CDG) is determined by biallelic mutations in the mannosyl-oligosaccharide glucosidase (glucosidase I) gene. MOGS-CDG is a rare disorder affecting the processing of …
