Optimal deep brain stimulation sites and networks for cervical vs. generalized dystonia

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2022
Significance We studied deep brain stimulation effects in two types of dystonia and conclude that different specific connections between the pallidum and thalamus are responsible for optimal treatment effects.

Approach to the Treatment of Pediatric Dystonia

open access: yesDystonia, 2022
Dystonia is the most common movement disorder in the pediatric population. It can affect normal motor development and cause significant motor disability.

Genotype–Phenotype Relations for Isolated Dystonia Genes: MDSGene Systematic Review

open access: yesMovement Disorders, 2021
This comprehensive MDSGene review is devoted to 7 genes — TOR1A, THAP1, GNAL, ANO3, PRKRA, KMT2B, and HPCA — mutations in which may cause isolated dystonia.

Pallidal Deep Brain Stimulation for Monogenic Dystonia: The Effect of Gene on Outcome

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2021
Globus pallidus internus deep brain stimulation (GPi DBS) is the most effective intervention for medically refractory segmental and generalized dystonia in both children and adults.

Dystonia updates: definition, nomenclature, clinical classification, and etiology

open access: yesJournal of neural transmission, 2021
A plethora of heterogeneous movement disorders is grouped under the umbrella term dystonia. The clinical presentation ranges from isolated dystonia to multi-systemic disorders where dystonia is only a co-occurring sign.

Dopa-responsive dystonia

open access: yesDefinitions, 2020
A genetic disorder in females that presents in early childhood and is responsive to dopamine. It is characterized by clubfeet and Parkinsonian symptoms that may progress from lower to upper extremities witha diurnal pattern, and involuntary muscle ...

Loss‐of‐Function Variants in HOPS Complex Genes VPS16 and VPS41 Cause Early Onset Dystonia Associated with Lysosomal Abnormalities

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, 2020
The majority of people with suspected genetic dystonia remain undiagnosed after maximal investigation, implying that a number of causative genes have not yet been recognized. We aimed to investigate this paucity of diagnoses.

Dystonia genes functionally converge in specific neurons and share neurobiology with psychiatric disorders

open access: yesBrain : a journal of neurology, 2020
Dystonia is a neurological disorder characterized by sustained or intermittent muscle contractions causing abnormal movements and postures, often occurring in absence of any structural brain abnormality.

Development of a highly sensitive immunohistochemical method to detect neurochemical molecules in formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tissues from autopsied human brains

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2015
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is a valuable method for identifying discrete neurochemical molecules by the interaction of target antigens with validated antibodies tagged with a visible label (e.g., peroxidase).
