Persisting hyperekplexia after idiopathic, self-limiting brainstem encephalopathy.
Contains fulltext : 51533.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access)Symptomatic hyperekplexia is a relatively rare entity, but has been documented in various, mostly brainstem diseases. We report the clinical and neurophysiologic vignette

Anxiety and Startle Phenotypes in Glrb Spastic and Glra1 Spasmodic Mouse Mutants
A GWAS study recently demonstrated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the human GLRB gene of individuals with a prevalence for agoraphobia. GLRB encodes the glycine receptor (GlyRs) β subunit.

Deep learning tissue mapping can guide region of interest selection for spatial transcriptomic analyses. Using this method, a transcriptional catalogue of focal cortical dysplasia type IIb was generated, revealing enrichment for markers of inhibitory glycinergic signaling in cytomegalic dysmorphic neurons.

Identification of a novel missense GLRA1 gene mutation in hyperekplexia: a case report [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: Hereditary hyperekplexia is a neurological disorder characterized by excessive startle responses with violent jerking to noise or touch, stiffening of the trunk and limbs, clenching of the fists and attacks of a high-frequency trembling ...

Glycine Reverses Behavioral Deficits in a Mouse Model for Psychosis With 4 Copies of the Gldc Gene
Mice with 4 copies of the glycine decarboxylase (Gldc) gene display startle habituation deficits, which are reversed by treatment with glycine. In control‐treated wild type mice (A), the response to the last startle stimuli is lower than the response to the first startle stimuli. In control‐treated mice with 4 copies of the 9p24.1 genes including Gldc (

Hyperekplexia in Kurdish families: a possible GLRA1 founder mutation.
Autosomal recessive hyperekplexia is due to loss-of-function mutations in the GLRA1 gene. The authors describe six patients from two consanguineous families with a homozygous deletion of the first seven GLRA1 exons and provide evidence of a founder ...
