Genetic Profile and Symptom Pattern Explain Variability of Deep Brain Stimulation Effect in Dystonia
ABSTRACT Objective Bilateral globus pallidus pars interna deep brain stimulation (GPi‐DBS) is a recognized and effective treatment option for drug‐resistant dystonia patients. However, the clinical GPi‐DBS outcomes vary significantly. Herein, we explored the pre‐implant factors affecting GPi‐DBS effectiveness.

Genetic Diversity and Expanded Phenotypes in Dystonia: Insights From Large‐Scale Exome Sequencing
ABSTRACT Objective Dystonia is one of the most prevalent movement disorders, characterized by significant clinical and etiological heterogeneity. Despite considerable heritability (~25%), the etiology in most patients remains elusive. Moreover, understanding correlations between clinical manifestations and genetic variants has become increasingly ...

ABSTRACT Introduction The kappa‐free light chain (κ‐FLC) index is known to be highly sensitive and specific for diagnosing multiple sclerosis (MS), while little is understood about lambda (λ)‐FLC. This study assessed the κ‐FLC and λ‐FLC indices in autoimmune glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) astrocytopathy.

Timing and Predictive Value of Clinical Conditions Preceding Multiple Sclerosis in the UK Biobank
ABSTRACT Objectives Multiple sclerosis (MS) patients often experience a higher incidence of clinical conditions before diagnosis, suggesting a prodromal phase. However, their predictive value and temporal trajectories remain underexplored. We investigated these aspects using the large UK Biobank's population‐based cohort, which provided clinical ...
