Abstract Undefined severe neurological and multi-organ diseases are rare as single diseases, but as a group of diseases, they are responsible for significant morbidity, impaired quality of life and mortality, emphasizing the importance of neuroscience research and its translation into novel diagnostic and treatment strategies. Molecular karyotyping and whole-exome sequencing were used to identify three novel disease-causing genes, GLE1, NHLRC2 and MYH7B, in Northem Finnish families having children with undefined progressive neuromuscular diseases. Functional studies on GLE1, NHLRC2, and MYH7B were conducted in order to understand better the impact of these mutations. The studies revealed that the cellular localization of GLE1 was impaired ...
