Facial muscle involvement, scapular winging, asymmetrical involvement, funnel chest, and the absence
The emergence of CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing technologies and genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 libraries enables efficient unbiased genetic screening that can accelerate the process of therapeutic discovery for genetic disorders. Here, we demonstrate the utility of a genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 loss-of-function
The ease of sniff nasal inspiratory pressure testing may extend application of respiratory muscle assessment to younger and cognitively-impaired children. We sought to quantify sniff nasal inspiratory pressure in childhood neuromuscular disorders, and to correlate this measure with conventional
