TL;DR

This first report of a Chinese patient with INPP5K-related muscular dystrophy broadens both the genetic and clinical spectrum of the disorder and identifies the first disease-causing synonymous variant and a novel hypomorphic missense variant, the combination of which explains the attenuated phenotype lacking intellectual disability.

Whole-exome sequencing reveals a novel frameshift and a recurrent nonsense SPG11 variant causing rare familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 5 in two consanguineous Pakistani families

The findings describe the overlapping phenotypes of SPG11-related autosomal recessive juvenile ALS and ARHSP, suggesting that these disorders show a clear overlapping phenotype with common genetic defects, and it is challenging to distinguish between these two disorders.
