Heterozygous loss-of-function variants in SPTAN1 cause a novel early childhood onset distal myopathy with chronic neurogenic features https://t.co/o70isEBZAi #medRxiv
🧬Our latest research is now online on @medrxivpreprint!🧬 We show that heterozygous variants in SPTAN1 cause a novel type of distal myopathy. While α-2-spectrin is well-known for its role in the axonal membrane periodic system, its function in muscle fibers is less explored🤔
🎉 Exciting News / book chapter Alert! 📚🧠 My chapter on Hereditary Motor Neuropathies (HMN) has been officially published in the Encyclopedia of the Neurological sciences, Third Edition! https://t.co/nUwhMuZr8Y

Proud to announce our new review is out in @TrendsNeuro! 🥳Jonathan De Winter & I review shared pathomechanisms between IPN, HSP & SCA - and argue that moving forward, overarching analyses should be prioritized. #raredisease#genetics https://t.co/w7JfSnc4Zn
Proud to share our latest contribution in Trends in Neurosciences!
"Enhanced focus on pathomechanisms and uniting cohorts of patients with different neurogenetic disorders could increase effectiveness of diagnosis, scientific discovery, and therapy design"

Wow, what a week!🌪️ Defended my PhD last week, and now, after presenting at the PNS, I'm thrilled to have received the P.K. Thomas prize!🏆 Honored and extremely happy!🎉 #PNS2023
Happy and proud to have received the Solve-RD best Flash Talk Award in Prague!
Could not have achieved this without the invaluable contribution of the many SPTAN1 collaborators and dear colleague Liedewei Van de Vondel. #solveRD#FlashTalk#AwardWinningTeam#LiedeweiVdV
NEW ONLINE: Timmerman, Adriaenssens (@EliasAdriaensse) and team provide evidence suggesting that cytosolic small heat shock proteins localize to the mitochondrial intermembrane space, where they operate as molecular chaperones.

Happy to share our newest publication in Neuromuscular Disorders: "Distinct features in adult polyglucosan body disease: a case series."
==> Clinical and radiological pattern recognition at its finest 👌
Many thanks to the different co-authors!

Happy, proud and excited to start my week with good news: my first PhD paper is now published! 🥳 We show that five novel #SPTAN1 variants can be a cause of #hsp and #ataxia: https://t.co/zazr8Esx5N
New publication by our Solve-RD partners from @UAntwerpen & @jwmdrc@UniofNewcastle: De Ridder et al. "High prevalence of sporadic late-onset nemaline myopathy in a cohort of whole-exome sequencing negative myopathy patients".

Check our newest publication in which we reply to Schob et al. by reporting an additional family with an autosomal dominant pure Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia caused by a recurrent missense variant in KPNA3. First fruits of our teamwork @LiedeweiVdV.
