Journal ArticleDOI

Biallelic mutations in SORD cause a common and potentially treatable hereditary neuropathy with implications for diabetes.

TL;DR: Functional studies suggest that SORD deficiency may be treatable with aldose reductase inhibitors and may contribute to a better understanding of the pathophysiology of diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Truncating Mutations in UBAP1 Cause Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia.

TL;DR: It is shown that mRNA in the fibroblasts of affected individuals escapes nonsense-mediated decay and thus leads to the expression of truncated proteins, and UBAP1 provides a bridge toward a more unified pathophysiology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic modifiers and non-Mendelian aspects of CMT.

TL;DR: The current state and future role of alternative, non-Mendelian forms of genetics in CMT are reviewed and the newly identified modifier and risk genes may offer alternative targets for pharmacotherapy of inherited and, potentially, even acquired forms of neuropathies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Perspectives on the Genomics of HSP Beyond Mendelian Inheritance.

TL;DR: A more inclusive perspective on the potential final architecture of HSP genomics is suggested, suggesting efforts to narrow the heritability gap will ultimately lead to more precise and comprehensive genetic diagnoses, which is the starting point for emerging, highly specific gene therapies.
