Data‐Driven Insights into Hyperkinetic Disorders in Neurodevelopmental Syndromes and Epileptic Encephalopathies

open access: yesMovement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Childhood‐onset hyperkinetic movement disorders occur in a range of genetic conditions. Recently, there has been an increase in recognition of hyperkinetic movement disorders, mainly dystonia, chorea and dyskinesia, with monogenic conditions associated with neurodevelopmental delay (NDD) and also with developmental and epileptic ...

Missense Variants in the A Isoform of FGF13 as a Novel Cause of Paroxysmal Dyskinesia

open access: yesMovement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Pathogenic variants within the unique N‐terminal inactivation particle of FGF13 isoform A (FGF13A) have so far been associated only with an X‐linked dominant epileptic encephalopathy (DEE). Objective The aim was to expand the clinical and molecular spectrum of FGF13A‐related disorder.

Salivary biomarkers in sleep‐related disorders

open access: yesSleep Research, EarlyView.
Abstract The exploration of salivary biomarkers has emerged as a promising avenue in the diagnosis and management of sleep‐related disorders, such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), insomnia, and sleep deprivation. Saliva is a noninvasive biofluid that contains a wealth of biological markers, reflecting both local and systemic physiological changes ...

Cerebrospinal fluid orexin testing in Australians with narcolepsy type 1

open access: yesInternal Medicine Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract A clinical diagnosis of narcolepsy type 1 can be challenging, particularly in relation to cataplexy. Despite its specificity, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) orexin testing is under‐utilised in Australasia. We describe the use of CSF orexin testing in 15 clinically indicated patients from two sleep centres, highlighting its utility in the ...

Carbamazepine as a Treatment for Cataplexy [PDF]

open access: yesSleep, 1996
Cataplexy is a common symptom associated with narcolepsy. We evaluated a 51-year-old female who developed symptoms of progressive daytime sleepiness with cataplexy. The diagnosis of narcolepsy was confirmed by overnight polysomnogram and was consistent with results of a multiple sleep latency study, and episodes of cataplexy were documented by video ...

Narcolepsy and rapid eye movement sleep

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.
Summary Since the first description of narcolepsy at the end of the 19th Century, great progress has been made. The disease is nowadays distinguished as narcolepsy type 1 and type 2. In the 1960s, the discovery of rapid eye movement sleep at sleep onset led to improved understanding of core sleep‐related disease symptoms of the disease (excessive ...

Hypocretinergic interactions with the serotonergic system regulate REM sleep and cataplexy

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
Narcolepsy is characterized by a sudden loss of muscle tone (cataplexy) similar to REM sleep and is caused by hypocretin deficiency. Here, the authors show that deleting the serotonin transporter gene in hypocretin knockout mice suppresses cataplexy ...
