Neuromuscular and Neuromuscular Junction Manifestations of the PURA-NDD: A Systematic Review of the Reported Symptoms and Potential Treatment Options

Abstract: PURA-related neurodevelopmental disorders (PURA-NDDs) are a rare genetic disease caused by pathogenic autosomal dominant variants in the PURA gene or a deletion encompassing the PURA gene. PURA-NDD is clinically characterized by neurodevelopmental delay, learning disability, neonatal hypotonia, feeding difficulties, abnormal movements, and epilepsy. It is generally considered to be central nervous system disorders, with generalized weakness, associated hypotonia, cognitive and development deficits in early dev… Show more

“…There is no effective FDA‐approved drug for PURA‐NDDs. However, pyridostigmine may be effective for the muscular/neuromuscular junction presentation observed in PURA‐NDDs because this drug inhibits the action of acetylcholinesterase and is generally used for symptomatic treatment in patients with myasthenia gravis 7,28 . Moreover, salbutamol, fluoxetine, and 4‐aminopyridine should also be considered as a treatment for specific symptoms associated with PURA‐NDDs 7 …”

“…Here, it binds to anomalous RNAs, serving a protective role against neurotoxicity. The advent of next-generation sequencing and high-throughput genetic technologies in clinical practice has led to increased identification of patients with PURA syndrome [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35]. PURA syndrome, a rare genetic condition resulting from mutations in the PURA gene, manifests as a spectrum of clinical features, mainly neurological, including developmental delay, hypotonia, breathing difficulties, pituitary dysfunction, and seizures [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35].…”
