The expanding clinical and genetic spectrum of DYNC1H1-related disorders.

ABSTRACT: Intracellular trafficking involves an intricate machinery of motor complexes, including the dynein complex, to shuttle cargo for autophagolysosomal degradation. Deficiency in dynein axonemal chains, as well as cytoplasmic light and intermediate chains, have been linked with ciliary dyskinesia and skeletal dysplasia. The cytoplasmic dynein 1 heavy chain protein (DYNC1H1) serves as a core complex for retrograde trafficking in neuronal axons. Dominant pathogenic variants in DYNC1H1 have been previously implicated in peripheral neuromuscular disorders (NMD) and neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD). As heavy-chain dynein is ubiquitously expressed, the apparent selectivity of heavy chain dyneinopathy for motor neuronal phenotypes remains currently unaccounted for. Here, we aimed to evaluate the fu
