This study uses patient-derived iPSCs to create 2D and 3D muscle models that replicate RYR1 myopathy phenotypes and test therapeutic efficacy.

This study identifies biallelic HMGCS1 variants as a novel cause of rigid spine syndrome, showing hypomorphic effects through functional and clinical analyses.

The paper identifies a splice-altering variant in KLHL40 causing milder NEM8, showing it leads to reduced mRNA and protein expression through aberrant splicing.

The paper identifies regulatory elements and chromatin structures in the RCA gene cluster, revealing long-range interactions and a TAD boundary within CR1 that influence gene expression and autoimmune disease susceptibility.

The paper identifies biallelic loss-of-function OBSCN variants in six patients with severe, recurrent rhabdomyolysis and shows reduced OBSCN expression and impaired SR Ca2+ handling in patient muscle.
