Serum Based miRNA as a Diagnostic Biomarker for Multiple Sclerosis: a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Samar A. Zailaie, Jumana Jamal Siddiqui, Rawan Mansour Al Saadi, Dalia Mohammad Anbari, Amani S. Alomari, Edward James Cupler

Summary: The systematic review and meta-analysis identified 19 serum miRNAs differentially expressed in multiple sclerosis patients, with 8 downregulated, 11 upregulated, and 1 discordant. The pooled AUC was 72% for overall MS patients and PPMS, indicating high sensitivity and specificity. A miRNA panel of four miRNAs showed high sensitivity (73%) and specificity (68%) in distinguishing MS from control groups.

Summary: Elevated DPP-IV activity was found in patients with various LSDs, with the most significant increases seen in specific types of mucolipidosis, alpha-mannosidosis, and mucopolysaccharidoses. DPP-IV may serve as a valuable diagnostic tool and subject for further study in the understanding of LSDs.

Tripeptidyl Peptidase 1 (TPP1) Deficiency in a 36-Year-Old Patient with Cerebellar-Extrapyramidal Syndrome and Dilated Cardiomyopathy

Summary: We report a case of a 36-year-old man with cerebellar-extrapyramidal syndrome and severe heart failure due to dilated cardiomyopathy of unknown origin. The patient exhibited clinical symptoms of benign forms of ceroid lipofuscinosis type 2 (CLN2) and autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia type 7 (SCAR7), both caused by mutations in the TPP1 gene.

SARS-COV-2 Triggers the Development of Class I and Class II HLA Antibodies in Recovered Convalescent Plasma Donors

Summary: The study found a high rate of HLA antibody formation in convalescent plasma donors who have recovered from COVID-19. Implementing HLA diagnostic strategies before the administration of convalescent plasma may potentially reduce the risk of transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) in COVID-19 patients.

Summary: Pompe disease is a rare metabolic disorder that requires early diagnosis for effective clinical management. In order to address the challenges faced by clinicians in diagnosing the disease, a group of experts from the Arabian Peninsula region developed a uniform diagnostic algorithm during two committee meetings. This algorithm will aid clinicians in making accurate differential diagnoses for pediatric and adult Pompe disease.

Summary: This article discusses the diagnosis and management of NMOSD. NMOSD is an autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation of the optic nerve and/or spinal cord, leading to varying degrees of movement impairment or paralysis. The newly approved diagnostic criteria improve the accuracy of NMOSD diagnosis. The management of NMOSD is undergoing significant changes due to the emergence of new therapeutic options.

Summary: The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on multiple sclerosis (MS) remains unclear. This retrospective study found a decrease in MS disease activities during the pandemic, possibly due to underreporting. COVID-19 infection in MS patients showed a benign disease course, with no association with clinical relapses or MRI changes.

Deterioration of visual quality and acuity as the first sign of ceroid lipofuscinosis type 3 (CLN3), a rare neurometabolic disease

Summary: Ceroid lipofuscinosis type 3 (CLN3) is a neurodegenerative metabolic disease characterized by progressive visual loss, epilepsy, and dementia. Lipofuscin deposits and vacuolized lymphocytes are indicative of CLN3 diagnosis. The most common cause of CLN3 is a large deletion of 1.02 kb in exons 7 and 8 of the CLN3 gene. This study reports 4 patients from 2 families who experienced visual deterioration as the initial clinical sign, followed by neurological symptoms. All patients had the 1.02 kb deletion in the CLN3 gene detected. The presence of abnormal structures and the economic feasibility of the 1.02 kb deletion test support its use in diagnosing CLN3.

A 20-Year Longitudinal Study of Plasma Chitotriosidase Activity in Treated Gaucher Disease Type 1 and 3 Patients-A Qualitative and Quantitative Approach

Summary: Chitotriosidase is an enzyme produced by activated macrophages, especially in Gaucher disease, where macrophages loaded with phagocytozed glycosphingolipid secrete chitotriosidase in proportion to the degree of overload. Gaucher disease is caused by the deficiency of beta-glucocerebrosidase activity and results in the storage of glucosylceramide in tissue macrophages. Chitotriosidase has been found to be a sensitive biomarker for enzyme replacement therapy in GD patients.
