Primary LAMP-2 deficiency causes X-linked vacuolar cardiomyopathy and myopathy (Danon disease)
Ichizo Nishino,Jin Fu,Kurenai Tanji,Takeshi Yamada,Sadatomo Shimojo,Tateo Koori,Marina Mora,Jack E. Riggs,Shin J. Oh,Yasutoshi Koga,Carolyn M. Sue,Ayaka Yamamoto,Nobuyuki Murakami,Sara Shanske,Edward Byrne,Eduardo Bonilla,Ikuya Nonaka,Salvatore DiMauro,Michio Hirano +18 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that primary LAMP-2 deficiency is the cause of Danon disease and this is the first example of human cardiopathy–myopathy that is caused by mutations in a lysosomal structural protein rather than an enzymatic protein.
Journal ArticleDOI
Osmotic demyelination syndrome following correction of hyponatremia
TL;DR: It is suggested that the osmotic demyelination syndrome is a preventable complication of overly rapid correction of chronic hyponatremia, which developed after the patients presented with severe hypon atremia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of carbamazepine and valproate on bone mineral density
Raj D. Sheth,Carl A. Wesolowski,J.C. Jacob,Sharon Penney,Gerald R. Hobbs,Jack E. Riggs,John B. Bodensteiner +6 more
TL;DR: Valproate montherapy, but not carbamazepine therapy, significantly reduces axial and appendicular bone mineral density in children with idiopathic epilepsy and may increase their risk of osteoporotic fractures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mutations in an S4 segment of the adult skeletal muscle sodium channel cause paramyotonia congenita.
Louis J. Ptáček,Alfred L. George,Alfred L. George,Robert L. Barchi,Robert C. Griggs,Jack E. Riggs,Margaret Robertson,Mark Leppert +7 more
TL;DR: The use of the single-strand conformation polymorphism technique is reported to be used to define alleles specific to PC patients from three families, establishing the chromosome 17q NaCh locus as the PC gene and representing two mutations causing the distinctive, temperature-sensitive PC phenotype.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recombinant human nerve growth factor in the treatment of diabetic polyneuropathy.
TL;DR: Recombinant human nerve growth factor appears to be safe and shows preliminary evidence of efficacy in patients with symptomatic diabetic polyneuropathy.
