NOTCH2NLC Repeat Expansions in Parkinsonian Disorders: Clinical and Neuroimaging Characteristics
ABSTRACT Objective Neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease (NIID) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by NOTCH2NLC GGC repeat expansions, with heterogeneous clinical manifestations, including parkinsonism. Recent studies have identified NOTCH2NLC repeat expansions in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and atypical parkinsonism (aPM), suggesting ...

Genome‐Wide Insights and Polygenic Risk Scores in Common Epilepsies: A Narrative Review
ABSTRACT The research of single gene‐related disorders or pathogenic copy‐number variations (CNVs) has given a significant impetus to the shift from a diagnostic work‐up focused on epileptic syndromes to genomic approaches in individuals with severe pediatric‐onset epilepsies and in developmental and epileptic encephalopathies.
