Data-Driven Insights into Hyperkinetic Disorders in Neurodevelopmental Syndromes and Epileptic Encephalopathies. [PDF]
Abstract Background Childhood‐onset hyperkinetic movement disorders occur in a range of genetic conditions. Recently, there has been an increase in recognition of hyperkinetic movement disorders, mainly dystonia, chorea and dyskinesia, with monogenic conditions associated with neurodevelopmental delay (NDD) and also with developmental and epileptic ...

Diagnostic Dilemma in an Infant With Sound-Triggered Motor Events: Reflex Epilepsy Versus Exaggerated Startle-A Case Report. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Auditory‐triggered motor events in infancy present a significant diagnostic challenge due to overlap between epileptic and non‐epileptic startle phenomena. We report the case of a term female infant with neonatal‐onset seizures and subsequent development of reproducible sound‐triggered jerky movements, raising diagnostic uncertainty between ...

STARDEV Study: Neurodevelopmental Trajectory and Long-Term Outcomes of Patients with Startle Disease/Hyperekplexia. [PDF]
Abstract Background Although initial clinical presentation of hyperekplexia/startle disease is well known, data regarding long‐term clinical outcomes is lacking. Objectives We provide a long‐term evaluation from clinical and pharmacological perspectives, focusing on neurodevelopmental trajectory. Methods Twenty‐eight patients from nine French hospitals

Strain Traits of Intracranially Administered L-Type Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy Prions Are not Significantly Modified During Intraspecies Transmission in Cynomolgus Monkeys. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Among the three prion strains of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), classical BSE (C‐BSE) prions are known causative agents of variant Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease. By contrast, human infections with L‐type (L‐) or H‐type (H‐) BSE prions have not been reported.

The GDP-GTP exchange factor collybistin: an essential determinant of neuronal gephyrin clustering [PDF]
Glycine receptors (GlyRs) and specific subtypes of GABA(A) receptors are clustered at synapses by the multidomain protein gephyrin, which in turn is translocated to the cell membrane by the GDP-GTP exchange factor collybistin.

Pathophysiological Mechanisms of Dominant and Recessive GLRA1 Mutations in Hyperekplexia [PDF]
Hyperekplexia is a rare, but potentially fatal, neuromotor disorder characterized by exaggerated startle reflexes and hypertonia in response to sudden, unexpected auditory or tactile stimuli.

Mutations affecting glycinergic neurotransmission in hyperekplexia increase pain sensitivity [PDF]
Inhibitory interneurons in the spinal cord use glycine and GABA for fast inhibitory neurotransmission. While there is abundant research on these inhibitory pain pathways in animal models, their relevance in humans remains unclear, largely due to the ...
