Primary microcephaly, a rare congenital condition characterized by reduced brain size, occurs due to impaired neurogenesis during brain development. Through whole-exome sequencing, we identified compound heterozygous loss-of-function mutations in CENTRIN 3 (CETN3) in a 5-year-old patient with primary microcephaly. As CETN3 has not been previously linked to microcephaly, we investigated its potential function in neurodevelopment in human pluripotent stem cell-derived cerebral organoids.

ROSAH (retinal dystrophy, optic nerve edema, splenomegaly, anhidrosis, and headache) syndrome is a rare genetic disease caused by variants in alpha-kinase 1 (ALPK1) resulting in downstream pro-inflammatory signaling mediated by the TIFA/TRAF6/NF-κB pathway. Here, we report the design of an ALPK1 inhibitor, DF-003, with pharmacokinetic properties suitable for daily oral dosing. In biochemical assays, DF-003 potently inhibits human ALPK1 (IC = 1.

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a hereditary infiltrative cardiomyopathy characterized by fibrofatty replacement of the right ventricular myocardium, which may extend to the left ventricle in the advanced stages. Clinically, the condition is commonly associated with right ventricular dilation, malignant arrhythmias, and an increased risk of sudden cardiac death. In this study, we successfully established induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of ARVC patients carrying a heterozygous LMNA gene mutation (c.

Background: Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a life-threatening immune disorder characterized by excessive inflammation and multiorgan involvement. Rarely, HLH can manifest with signs and symptoms isolated to the central nervous system (CNS). This case report highlights the unique clinical course of CNS-isolated HLH in a 19-year-old female who, despite a nine-year delay in diagnosis, achieved disease remission following a hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT).

Background: We aimed to document childhood onset mevalonate kinase deficiency (MKD) and to explore treatment responses and diagnostic challenges in regions endemic to familial Mediterranean fever (FMF).
Methods: This retrospective study included patients under 18 years of age, diagnosed with MKD and followed for at least six months at the pediatric rheumatology department of Istanbul University - Cerrahpaşa Medical Faculty between 2016 and 2024.
Results: Of 33 patients, 51.
