Dystrophin levels as low as 30% are sufficient to avoid muscular dystrophy in the human.

TL;DR: It was found that dystrophin levels comprised between 29% and 57% were sufficient to avoid muscle weakness in these XLDC families, and this information will be of help for the development of therapeutic approaches aimed at restoring dystrophic levels sufficient to prevent the muscle pathology in DMD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence of kinesin heavy chain (KIF5A) involvement in pure hereditary spastic paraplegia

TL;DR: A four-generation pedigree segregating an autosomal dominant phenotype for HSP and showing a linkage to the SPG10 locus, coding for Kinesin family member 5A is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular analysis, pathogenic mechanisms, and readthrough therapy on a large cohort of Kabuki syndrome patients.

TL;DR: The authors' experimental data showed that both KMT2D and KDM6A nonsense mutations displayed high levels of readthrough in response to gentamicin treatment, paving the way to further studies aimed at eventually treating some Kabuki patients with read through inducers.
