    Abstract TSFM is a nuclear gene encoding the elongation factor Ts (EFTs), an essential component of mitochondrial translational machinery. Impaired mitochondrial translation is responsible for neurodegenerative disorders characterized by multiple respiratory chain complex defects, multisystemic involvement, and neuroradiological features of Leigh-like syndrome. With the use of a next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based multigene panel for mitochondrial disorders, we identified the novel TSFM homozygous variant c.547G>A (p.Gly183Ser) in a 5-year-old boy with infantile early onset encephalocardiomyopathy, sensorineural hearing loss, and peculiar partially reversible neuroimaging features. Our findings expand the phenotypic spectrum of TSFM-related encephalopathy, offering new insights into the natural history of brain involvement and suggesting that TSFM should be investigated in pediatric mitochondrial disorders with distinctive neurologic and cardiac involvement.

    Abstract Background: The advent of new therapies has increased the need to achieve early diagnosis in Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA). The aim of the present study was to define the age of diagnosis in the three main types of SMA with pediatric-onset and the timing between the recognition of clinical signs and confirmed genetic diagnosis.
    Methods: All patients with a confirmed diagnosis of type I, II, III SMA followed in 5 Italian centers were included in this study, assessing age at symptoms onset, presenting sign or symptom, age at diagnosis, interval between clinical onset and diagnosis and type of medical investigations conducted in order to obtain the diagnosis.
    Results: The cohort included 480 patients, 191 affected by SMA type I, 210 by type II and 79 by type III. The mean age at diagnosis was 4.70 months (SD ±2.82) in type I, 15.6 months (SD±5.88) in type II, and 4.34 years (SD±4.01) in type III. The mean time between symptom onset and diagnosis was 1.94 months (SD±1.84) in type I, 5.28 months (SD±4.68) in type II and 16.8 months (SD±18.72) in type III.
    Conclusions: Our results suggest that despite improved care recommendations there is still a marked diagnostic delay, especially in type III. At the time new therapies are becoming available more attention should be devoted to reducing such delay as there is consistent evidence of the benefit of early treatment.

    Abstract Objective: The aim of this paper was to report the 2-year follow-up in type I patients treated with Nusinersen and to assess whether possible changes in motor function are related to the subtype, age, or SMN2 copy number.
    Methods: Sixty-eight patients, with ages ranging from 0.20 to 15.92 years (mean: 3.96; standard deviation: +3.90) were enrolled in the study. All patients were assessed using the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Infant Test of Neuromuscular Disorders (CHOP INTEND) and the developmental section of the Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination (HINE-2) at the time they started treatment and 12 and 24 months after that.
    Results: For both CHOP and HINE-2 repeated measures analysis of variance showed a significant difference (P < 0.001) between baseline and 12 months, 12 months and 24 months, and baseline and 24-month scores for the whole group. When age subgroups (<210 days, <2 years, 2-4 years, 5-11 years, 12-18 years) were considered, on the CHOP INTEND the difference was significant between baseline and 24 months in all age subgroups. On the HINE-2, the difference between baseline and 24 months was significant in all the subgroups before the age of 4 years. Age was predictive of changes on both scales (P < 0.05), whereas SMN2 copy number and decimal classification were not.
    Interpretation: Our results suggest that some improvement of motor function can be observed even after the first year of treatment. This is more obvious in the infants treated in the first 2 years but some improvement can also be found in older children.

    Abstract We report preliminary data on the six month use of Nusinersen in 104 type 1 patients of age ranging from three months to 19 years, 9 months. Ten of the 104 were classified as 1.1, 58 as 1.5 and 36 as 1.9. Three patients had one SMN2 copy, 65 had two and 24 had three copies. In 12 the SMN2 copy number was not available. After six months an improvement of more than two points was found in 58 of the 104 (55.7%) on the CHOP INTEND and in 21 of the 104 (20.19%) on the Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination (HINE). Changes more than two points were found in 26/71 patients older than two years, and in seven of the 20 older than 10 years. Changes ≥ four points were found in 20/71 older than two years, and in six of the 20 patients older than 10 years. The difference between baseline and six months on both CHOP INTEND and HINE was significant for the whole group (p < 0.001) as well as for the subgroups with two (p < 0.001), and three SMN2 copies (p < 0.001). Our preliminary results suggest that functional improvement can be observed in type 1 patients outside the range of the inclusion criteria used in the Endear study.

    Abstract Objective: To report cross-sectional clinical findings in a large cohort of patients affected by type 1 spinal muscular atrophy.
    Methods: We included 122 patients, of age ranging between 3 months and 22 years, 1 month. More than 70% (85/122) were older than 2 years and 25% (31/122) older than 10 years. Patients were classified according to the severity of phenotype and to the number of
    Results: Patients with the more common and the most severe phenotype older than 2 years were, with few exceptions, on noninvasive ventilation and, with increasing age, more often had tracheostomy or >16-hour ventilation and a gastrostomy inserted. In contrast, 25 of the 28 patients with the mildest phenotype older than 2 years had no need for tracheostomy or other ventilatory or nutritional support. In patients older than 2 years, the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Infant Test of Neuromuscular Disorders scores were generally lower compared to those found in younger patients and showed distinct levels of functional abilities according to the severity of the phenotype. Similar findings were also observed on the Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination.
    Conclusions: Our findings confirm that, after the age of 2 years, patients with type 1 spinal muscular atrophy generally survive only if they have gastrostomy and tracheostomy or noninvasive ventilation >16 hours and have low scores on the functional scales. More variability, however, can be expected in those with the mildest phenotype, who achieve head control. These data provide important baseline information at the time treatments are becoming available.

    Abstract Objective: The aim of the study was to report 12-month changes after treatment with nusinersen in a cohort of 85 type I spinal muscular atrophy patients of ages ranging from 2 months to 15 years and 11 months.
    Methods: All patients were assessed using the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Infant Test of Neuromuscular Disorders (CHOP INTEND) and the Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination-Section 2 (HINE-2).
    Results: Two of the 85 patients had 1 SMN2 copy, 61 had 2 copies, and 18 had 3 copies. In 4 patients the SMN2 copy number was not available. At baseline, the mean CHOP INTEND scores ranged between 0 and 52 (mean = 15.66, standard deviation [SD] = ±13.48), and the mean HINE-2 score was between 0 and 5 (mean = 0.69, SD = ±1.23). There was a difference between baseline and the 12-month scores on both the CHOP INTEND and the HINE-2 for the whole group (p < 0.001), the subgroups with 2 SMN2 copies (p < 0.001), and those with 3 SMN2 copies (p < 0.001). The difference was found not only in patients younger than 210 days at baseline (p < 0.001) but also in those younger than 5 years on the CHOP INTEND and younger than 2 years on the HINE-2.
    Interpretation: Our results, expanding the age range and the severity of type I patients treated with nusinersen over 1 year, provide additional data on the range of efficacy of the drug that will be helpful in making an informed decision on whether to start treatment in patients of different ages and severity.

    Abstract We are transient beings, in a world of constantly changing culture. At home in the fields of Art and Science, seemingly capable of magnificent abstractions, humans have an intense need to externalize their insights. Music is an art and a highly transmissible cultural product, but we still have an incomplete understanding of how our musical experience shapes and is vividly retained within our brain, and how it affects our behavior. However, the developing field of social epigenetics is now helping us to describe how communication and emotion, prime hallmarks of music, can be linked to a transmissible, biochemical change.

    Abstract We report an 11-year-old boy with exercise-related myopathy, and a novel mutation m.5669G>A in the mitochondrial tRNA Asparagine gene (mt-tRNA(Asn), MTTN). Muscle biopsy studies showed COX-negative, SDH-positive fibers at histochemistry and biochemical defects of oxidative metabolism. The m.5669G>A mutation was present only in patient's muscle resulting in the first muscle-specific MTTN mutation. Mt-tRNA(Asn) steady-state levels and in silico predictions supported the pathogenicity of this mutation. A mitochondrial myopathy should be considered in the differential diagnosis of exercise intolerance in children.
