Abstract

My underlying diagnosis since birth was congenital muscular dystrophy not otherwise specified. Being born in 1970 meant that there were no genetic testing, no standards of care, and no true understanding of the pathology that separates one congenital-onset neuromuscular disorder from the next. Two muscle biopsies described histological abnormalities of small type 1 fibers and were among the first of M.H. Brooke's cases described as congenital fiber-type disproportion (Brooke, Experta Medica 295: 147 [1973]).

病人视角:我的罕见病之旅

自出生以来，我的基本诊断是先天性肌肉萎缩症，没有特别说明。出生在1970年意味着没有基因检测，没有护理标准，也没有真正理解区分一种先天性神经肌肉疾病的病理。两个肌肉活检描述了小的1型纤维的组织学异常，并且是M.H. Brooke的第一个被描述为先天性纤维型失调的病例(Brooke, Experta Medica 295: 147[1973])。

期刊介绍： Cold Spring Harbor Molecular Case Studies is an open-access, peer-reviewed, international journal in the field of precision medicine. Articles in the journal present genomic and molecular analyses of individuals or cohorts alongside their clinical presentations and phenotypic information. The journal''s purpose is to rapidly share insights into disease development and treatment gained by application of genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, biomarker analysis, and other approaches. The journal covers the fields of cancer, complex diseases, monogenic disorders, neurological conditions, orphan diseases, infectious disease, gene therapy, and pharmacogenomics. It has a rapid peer-review process that is based on technical evaluation of the analyses performed, not the novelty of findings, and offers a swift, clear path to publication. The journal publishes: Research Reports presenting detailed case studies of individuals and small cohorts, Research Articles describing more extensive work using larger cohorts and/or functional analyses, Rapid Communications presenting the discovery of a novel variant and/or novel phenotype associated with a known disease gene, Rapid Cancer Communications presenting the discovery of a novel variant or combination of variants in a cancer type, Variant Discrepancy Resolution describing efforts to resolve differences or update variant interpretations in ClinVar through case-level data sharing, Follow-up Reports linked to previous observations, Plus Review Articles, Editorials, and Position Statements on best practices for research in precision medicine.
