Molecular Analysis of a Congenital Myasthenic Syndrome Due to a Pathogenic Variant Affecting the C-Terminus of ColQ.

Congenital Myasthenic Syndromes (CMSs) are rare inherited diseases of the neuromuscular junction characterized by muscle weakness. CMSs with acetylcholinesterase deficiency are due to pathogenic variants in COLQ, a collagen that anchors the enzyme at the synapse. The two COLQ N-terminal domains h...

A functional mini-GDE transgene corrects impairment in models of glycogen storage disease type III.

Glycogen storage disease type III (GSDIII) is a rare inborn error of metabolism affecting liver, skeletal muscle, and heart due to mutations of the AGL gene encoding for the glycogen debranching enzyme (GDE). No curative treatment exists for GSDIII. The 4.6 kb GDE cDNA represents the major techni...

Nucleolar reorganization after cellular stress is orchestrated by SMN shuttling between nuclear compartments.

Spinal muscular atrophy is an autosomal recessive neuromuscular disease caused by mutations in the multifunctional protein Survival of Motor Neuron, or SMN. Within the nucleus, SMN localizes to Cajal bodies, which are associated with nucleoli, nuclear organelles dedicated to the first steps of ri...
