Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will be dedicated to the advances in the genetics of some degenerative disorders of the central and peripheral nervous systems and muscles.
It will encompass a wide spectrum of genetic neurologic diseases.
As some of these disorders have approved therapies or treatments in development, their early diagnosis, even in atypical cases, is crucial.
The main topics that will be covered are related to the following:
- Ataxia teleangiectasia, a variant form prevalent among a religious minority of Bulgarian muslims;
- HATTR amyloidosis, a rare disease in an endemic country;
- Genetics of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis;
- Phenotypic variability of LGMD 2C in a genetically homogenous group of Bulgarian Roma;
- Genetics of epilepsy;
- An atypical case of ethylmalonic acidemia.
