Abstract Background Huntington's disease (HD) is characterized by early, selective, progressive vulnerability of striatal medium spiny neurons (MSNs). Proenkephalin (PENK), a precursor of opioid peptides abundantly expressed in MSNs, is a promising biomarker of striatal integrity, but region‐specific associations and its potential for early‐stage ...

Abstract Background Huntington's disease (HD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder caused by a cytosine‐adenine‐guanine (CAG) repeat expansion in the huntingtin gene. The disease exhibits sex‐related differences in symptomatology and disease progression, but the effect on brain structural biomarkers and the interaction between sex and CAG‐age ...

Expanding the Genetic and Phenotypic Spectrum of DYT‐VPS16: The Importance of Splice‐Site Variants
Abstract Background DYT‐VPS16, an early‐onset isolated dystonia caused by variants in the VPS16 gene, has been reported in fewer than 70 patients. Methods We explored the clinical and genotypic spectrum of DYT‐VPS16 by investigating early‐onset dystonia patients with VPS16 variants discovered in our large Biodatabank and through gene‐matching ...

LRRK2 as a Potential Disease‐Modifying Target in Sporadic Parkinson's Disease
Abstract A growing understanding of the role that leucine‐rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) plays in Parkinson's disease (PD) supports continued focus on this enzyme as a therapeutic target for PD. Accumulating evidence suggests that there are phenotypic, neuropathologic, and biological similarities between sporadic PD (sPD) and familial forms in which ...

Loss‐of‐Function Variants in CPT1C: No Support for a Causal Role in Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia
Abstract Background Hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSPs) are neurodegenerative disorders characterized by lower‐limb spasticity. Pathogenic variants in CPT1C have been implicated in HSP. Objective The objective of this study was to assess whether CPT1C loss‐of‐function (LOF) variants are causally associated with HSP.
