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 - Riaz Ahmad; Muhammad Naeem; Henry Houlden (Molecular Biology Reports, 2026)
Background Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease that affects both upper and lower motor neurons, disturbing communication between the brain and muscles. So far, few reports have been published for the SPG11 -associated ALS, and this is the first documented case from Pakistan. Methods We report a rare subtype of ALS with an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance with juvenile onset before 25 years of age in the five affected individuals from two unrelated families. Whole-exome sequencing was performed to identify disease-causing variants, and selected variants were further prioritized based on predicted pathogenicity and similarity to clinical phenotypes. Results Two homozygous variants within the SPG11 gene were identified as pathogenic according to the ACMG and ClinGen Sequence Variant Interpretation (SVI) Working Group recommendations: a novel truncation (NM_025137.4:c.6738dup, p.Glu2247Ter) variant as validated by Sanger sequencing and a recurrent nonsense (NM_025137.4: c.782C>A, p.Ser261Ter) variant (rs765477482) previously reported in a family affected with autosomal recessive hereditary spastic paraplegia (ARHSP). In silico prediction tools further confirmed their pathogenicity. Conclusion Five patients with juvenile-onset ALS born to consanguineous parents were found to have homozygous SPG11 gene variants. Our 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. In clinical practice, it is challenging to distinguish between these two disorders. Additional Mendelian cases should be included to clarify further and investigate whether these represent two diverse diseases caused by variants in a single gene.

Clinico-genetic heterogeneity in Pakistani families affected with muscular dystrophies - Riaz Ahmad; Muhammad Almas Hashmi; Asad Ullah; Ubaid Ur Rehman; Muhammad Naeem; Henry Houlden (Molecular Biology Reports, 2026)
Background Muscular dystrophies are a group of inherited neuromuscular disorders characterized by degenerative and progressive muscle weakness. Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) and merosin-deficient congenital muscular dystrophy type 1 (MDC1A) are frequent forms caused by DMD (NM_004006.3) and LAMA2 (NM_000426.4) mutations, respectively. Methods and results Our study used whole exome sequencing to explore the molecular genetics of muscular dystrophies in six unrelated Pakistani families. We found four novel variants in the LAMA2 ; c.7470_7473del; p.(Lys2490AsnfsTer56) in family A, c.7807del; p.(Ala2603HisfsTer4) in family C, c.8651T > C; p.(Met2884Thr) in family D and c.4127T > A; p.(Leu1376Ter) in family E associated with MDC1A in these families. Furthermore, two already cited DMD variants were identified: c.10,801 C > T; p.(Gln872Ter) in family B and hemizygous genomic deletion in DMD (NM_004006.3):g.32438241_32809611del (corresponding to deletion of exons 7–29; GRCh38), which was identified (in family F) associated with BMD and DMD, respectively. Conclusions We present the first report of MDC1A-associated phenotypes caused by the LAMA2 gene in the Pakistani population, while DMD -related cases have already been documented in the literature and public databases. Clinical and molecular diagnosis of these six affected families will be valuable in therapeutic interventions and prenatal diagnosis of neuromuscular dystrophies in the familial and Pakistani populations. Our study emphasizes the effectiveness of next generation sequencing technology over traditional diagnostic methods such as muscle biopsies.

Genome sequencing reveals genes under selection for olfactory transduction in highland sheep - Anees Ahmad; Muhammad Ibrahim; Muhammad Yaqoob; Muhammad Fahim; Sher Hayat Khan; Israr Ud Din; Majid Khan; Sohail Ahmad (Molecular Genetics and Genomics, 2026)
Kutta is an indigenous sheep breed found in the mountainous region of Swat, Pakistan. In this study we evaluated the performance of Kutta sheep within their natural habitat and identified genomic regions associated with environmental adaptability using whole genome sequencing. Flocks are mostly managed under a transhumant production system with year-round breeding. Kutta sheep demonstrated higher lambing efficiency under the available resources. Although the body size of rams and ewes was comparable, significant variation was observed among different age groups. Whole genome sequencing identified 15.46 million variants relative to Oar_v1.0 reference genome assembly. Exonic variants accounted for 2.3% of all protein coding gene variants and affected 6347 genes. These genes were primarily enriched in pathways related to G protein-coupled receptor signaling (700 genes) and olfactory transduction (500 genes). Selective sweep analysis detected 1930 genes within the regions of high homozygosity across the genome. Based on homozygosity patterns, biological relevance, and colocalization with known QTLs, 11 candidate genes were identified as putative selective signature. Five of these genes (OR4C6L, OR1086L, OR5AK2L, QR5T2L, OR9Q2) belonged to the olfactory receptor family. These olfactory receptor genes may contribute to high-altitude adaptation in Kutta sheep by enhancing their ability to locate food resources, recognize mates, and detect predators in challenging mountainous environments. Further screening of the OR4C6L sequence across 12 indigenous sheep breeds revealed marked differences between highland and lowland populations. Collectively, these findings provide comprehensive genomic insights into high-altitude adaptation of sheep and highlight the potential role of olfactory perception in survival and environmental fitness.

Pharmacokinetic evaluation and in vivo anti-inflammatory potential of cyanoacetate derivatives of succinimide - Aini Pervaiz; Muhammad Saeed Jan; Ali Khan; Bushra Ansari; Imad Ahmad; Wadood Ali Shah; Syed Muhammad Mukarram Shah; Abdur Rauf; Abdullah S. M. Aljohani; Waleed Al Abdulmonem; Marcello Iriti (Naunyn-Schmiedeberg's Archives of Pharmacology, 2026)
The purpose of the study is to evalute the in vivo anti -inflammatory activity of newly synthesized cyanoacetate derivatives of succinimides (C-23, C-31, and C-44) and to elucidate their possible mechanisms of action through key inflammatory mediator pathways. Anti-inflammatory activity was assessed using carrageenan-induced paw oedema and arachidonic acid-induced ear oedema models in vivo. Mechanistic involvement was investigated through histamine-, prostaglandin-, leukotriene-, and bradykinin-induced paw oedema assays. In silico ADME studies were performed to predict pharmacokinetic properties and metabolic interactions. All tested compounds exhibited significant anti-inflammatory activity, with C-44 showing the highest potency. Mechanistic studies indicated that the anti-inflammatory effects were predominantly mediated via inhibition of prostaglandin and leukotriene pathways. ADME predictions suggested high gastrointestinal absorption, favourable oral bioavailability, and minimal interaction with major metabolic enzymes. The synthesized cyanoacetate derivatives, particularly C-44, demonstrate promising anti-inflammatory potential with favourable pharmacokinetic profiles, supporting their candidacy for further development as effective anti-inflammatory agents.
