Functional imaging of deep brain stimulation in dystonia: a review
Much remains to be learned about the mechanism of benefit of deep brain stimulation in movement disorders in general and dystonia specifically. A full accounting of the pathophysiology of dystonia additionally remains unclear.

Dystonia is characterized by involuntary muscle contractions. Its many forms are genetically, phenotypically and etiologically diverse and it is unknown whether their pathogenesis converges on shared pathways.

MED27 is one of the 26 subunits in the human Mediator complex (MED). Neurodevelopmental disorder‐causing MED27 genetic variants induce instability of MED, leading to disrupted DNA occupancy, altered chromatin interaction, and subsequent transcriptional dysregulation of critical downstream genes, including master regulatory transcription factors ...

Herein, a patient‐mounted neuro optical coherence tomography system that integrates a 5 degrees‐of‐freedom skull‐mounted robot (Skullbot) with a 0.6 mm neuroendoscope for targeted, minimally invasive deep brain imaging, is developed. The system offers high‐resolution imaging with precise deployment, demonstrated through successful tumor imaging in a ...

Exonic Variation and Its Clinical Impact in 7221 Old Order Amish
ABSTRACT The Amish of Lancaster County, PA has been the focus of genetic studies for many years due to its demographic history and unique genetic makeup that includes a historical bottleneck event and subsequent genetic drift, resulting in a marked decrease in genetic diversity and increased frequency of some variants that have substantially shaped the

De Novo Variants in PPFIA2 in Individuals With Neurodevelopmental Disorders
ABSTRACT Liprin‐α2, encoded by PPFIA2, belongs to the family of Liprin‐α proteins which constitute major synaptic scaffolds participating in the assembly and maturation of synapses. Heterozygous de novo variants in PPFIA2 were identified by exome or genome sequencing in two unrelated individuals with a neurodevelopmental disorder.

Objective An enduring puzzle in many inherited neurological disorders is the late onset of symptoms despite expression of function‐impairing mutant protein early in life. We examined the basis for onset of impairment in spinocerebellar ataxia type 6 (SCA6), a canonical late‐onset neurodegenerative ataxia which results from a polyglutamine expansion in ...
