[CR-01] Mitochondrial myopathy in a 50-year-old woman mimicking ocolar myasthenia: the fifth reported case of Kearns-Sayre syndrome in Thailand
Mitochondria are intracellolar organelles that play important roles in energy-producing and organismal survival via oxidative phosphorylation. The defection of this system leads to mitochondrial dysfunction and mitochondrial myopathies. The usual ocolar motor presentation is a chronic, symmetrical, and diffuse weakness of extraocolar muscle. We described a 50-year-old woman of Kearns-Sayre syndrome (KSS) ...
[RA-11] Next-generation sequencing in pathology: enabling personalised medicine
Personalised medicine promises to minimize health care costs by shifting from a standard medical model of treating pathologies to a tailored predictive and preventative one. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has the potential to speed up the early detection of diseases as well as the identification of pharmacogenetic markers that can be used to personalize treatments....
