Characteristics of Cerebral Palsy in the Midwestern US
ABSTRACT Objective Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common lifelong motor disability worldwide. Yet, data is limited on how CP manifests in the US. Our objective was to characterize and determine factors affecting functional outcomes in a large population of young people with CP in the Midwestern US.

ABSTRACT Objective Paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia (PKD) is the most common hereditary paroxysmal movement disorder. The PRRT2 gene is the first identified causative gene and accounts for the majority of PKD. In this study, we investigated the pathogenicity of PRRT2 variants in the splice regions. Methods Patients with clinically suspected PKD and no

Non-motor symptoms in patients with isolated dystonia: comparison between the age of onset
Background: The etiology and motor presentation differs between pediatric- and adult-onset dystonia. Emerging evidence has demonstrated that non-motor symptoms are frequent in adult dystonia, which affect the quality of life. By contrast, little is known

The Diverse Neuromuscular Spectrum of VPS13A Disease
ABSTRACT Objective VPS13A disease (chorea‐acanthocytosis) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder caused by biallelic variants in VPS13A, typically presenting with hyperkinetic movement disorders, while neuromuscular signs are often mild. The aim of the project was to investigate the frequency and severity of neuromuscular impairment in VPS13A disease ...

Functional and structural neural bases of task specificity in isolated focal dystonia
Task‐specific focal dystonias selectively affect movements during the production of highly learned and complex motor behaviors. Manifestation of some task‐specific focal dystonias, such as musician's dystonia, has been associated with excessive practice ...

Clinical Characteristics and Outcomes of Early‐Onset Versus Late‐Onset LGI1‐Antibody Encephalitis
ABSTRACT Background Leucine‐rich glioma‐inactivated 1 antibody (LGI1‐Ab) encephalitis predominantly affected older individuals, but has also been reported in younger patients. However, the demographic, clinical, and prognostic characteristics of early‐onset LGI1‐Ab encephalitis have yet to be systematically elucidated. This study aims to systematically
