Episodic Ataxia
Episodic ataxia is a group of related conditions that affect the nervous system and cause problems with movement. People with episodic ataxia have recurrent episodes of poor coordination and balance (ataxia). During these episodes, many people also experience dizziness (vertigo), nausea and vomiting, migraine headaches, blurred or double vision, slurred speech, and ringing in the ears (tinnitus). Seizures, muscle weakness, and paralysis affecting one side of the body (hemiplegia) may also occur during attacks. Additionally, some affected individuals have a muscle abnormality called myokymia during or between episodes. This abnormality can cause muscle cramping, stiffness, and continuous, fine muscle twitching that appears as rippling under the skin.

Muscular Dystrophies (MD)
Muscular dystrophies (MDs) are genetic disorders caused by mutations in several genes that lead to the lack of or dysfunctional production of proteins that are essential for myofiber integrity and contraction. MDs are a group of diseases that cause, but are not restricted to, progressive muscle destruction and weakness, with nine most common forms: myotonic, Duchenne, Becker, limb-girdle, facioscapulohumeral, congenital, oculopharyngeal, distal, and Emery–Dreifuss.

LncRNAs in Cancer Stem Cell Signaling Pathways
Initially entitled as junk matter, non-coding RNAs are an exceptional class of RNAs constituting a majority of the transcriptional output in living cells, which are not translated into functional proteins. They are not only responsible for regulating the expression of the gene at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional stages but also for mediating various cellular processes such as heterochromatin formation, epigenetic modifications, signal transduction and so on. It is quite evident from one research that the abnormal expression of LncRNAs plays a significant role in cancer stem cells (CSCs)’ metabolism. hey regulate gene expression by the following approaches: as a modulator of gene expression; as a decoy to lead the transcription factor elsewhere from a target site; as a competitor to hinder the attachment of other molecules to the target site; as a chaperone for molecules to attach to a certain segment and as a scaffold that enhances the association of different proteins into different complexes.

Familial Restrictive Cardiomyopathy
Familial restrictive cardiomyopathy is a genetic form of heart disease. For the heart to beat normally, the heart (cardiac) muscle must contract and relax in a coordinated way. Oxygen-rich blood from the lungs travels first through the upper chambers of the heart (the atria), and then to the lower chambers of the heart (the ventricles).

Glutathione Synthetase Deficiency
Glutathione synthetase deficiency is a disorder that prevents the production of an important molecule called glutathione. Glutathione helps prevent damage to cells by neutralizing harmful molecules generated during energy production. Glutathione also plays a role in processing medications and cancer-causing compounds (carcinogens), and building DNA, proteins, and other important cellular components.

Trichothiodystrophy
Trichothiodystrophy, which is commonly called TTD, is a rare inherited condition that affects many parts of the body. The hallmark of this condition is brittle hair that is sparse and easily broken. Tests show that the hair is lacking sulfur, an element that normally gives hair its strength.
