A family with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (type 1): evaluating diagnostic role of nerve conduction studies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We aimed to report a case history of a family with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease and to assess the role of nerve conduction studies in the diagnosis. A 10-year-old girl presented with difficulty in walking with a history of delayed motor milestones and ...

Phase diagram of epidemic spreading - unimodal vs. bimodal probability distributions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The disease spreading on complex networks is studied in SIR model. Simulations on empirical complex networks reveal two specific regimes of disease spreading: local containment and epidemic outbreak. The variables measuring the extent of disease spreading are in general characterized by a bimodal probability distribution.

UBA1/GARS-dependent pathways drive sensory-motor connectivity defects in spinal muscular atrophy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Deafferentation of motor neurons as a result of defective sensory-motor connectivity is a critical early event in the pathogenesis of spinal muscular atrophy, but the underlying molecular pathways remain unknown.

Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation for Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Comorbid Neuromuscular Disorders

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HGNS) is an effective surgical treatment for many patients with moderate‐to‐severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who are unable to tolerate continuous positive airway pressure. Patients with neuromuscular disorders (NMD) are particularly vulnerable to more complex sleep‐related breathing disorders due to respiratory ...

Complementation between mouse Mfn1 and Mfn2 protects mitochondrial fusion defects caused by CMT2A disease mutations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Mfn2, an oligomeric mitochondrial protein important for mitochondrial fusion, is mutated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) type 2A, a peripheral neuropathy characterized by axonal degeneration.

Intermediate Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease [PDF]

open access: yesNeuroscience Bulletin, 2014
Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is a common neurogenetic disorder and its heterogeneity is a challenge for genetic diagnostics. The genetic diagnostic procedures for a CMT patient can be explored according to the electrophysiological criteria: very slow motor nerve conduction velocity (MNCV) (45 m/s).

Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia in Alberta: Lessons from a Well‐Defined Cohort Including the Indigenous Population

open access: yesMovement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSP) are rare disorders sharing common features of leg spasticity with gait impairment. Simple and complex forms are recognized; over 50% of cases remain unsolved genetically. Little is known about the genetics of HSP among Indigenous Peoples. Objectives To describe clinical, radiological, and genetic

Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease: Genetics, epidemiology and complications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Background and aims: Charcot Marie Tooth disease (CMT) is the most prevalent hereditary neuropathy and its frequency is 1 in 2500. CMT is a heterogeneous disease and has different clinical symptoms.
