Axial Function Reflects Global Severity in Inherited Ataxias: The Upright Stability Score in Ambulatory Friedreich vs. Spinocerebellar Ataxia

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Inherited ataxias are clinically diverse neurodegenerative diseases, complicating the choice of outcome measures for trials. In spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA), regulatory concerns about the Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA) caused a shift toward functional SARA (f‐SARA), contributing to pivotal trial failure.

Myostatin/Smad3 in Spinal Muscular Atrophy: Biomarkers of Disease Severity and Treatment Response

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Given the role of Myostatin (MSTN) in muscle homeostasis and its modulation by current spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) therapies, we investigated serum MSTN and, for the first time, its downstream effector Smad3 as candidate non‐invasive biomarkers in SMA patients undergoing disease‐modifying therapies (DMTs).

Disentangling the Genetic Relationship Between Sleep and Epilepsy

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective A bidirectional relationship between sleep and epilepsy is well recognised, yet the biological mechanisms linking them remain poorly understood. Both have a genetic basis, with genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) capturing polygenic contributions.

Automatic Lesion Morphometrics Reliably Predict Sensorimotor Recovery After Spinal Cord Injury: A Longitudinal, Multicenter Neuroimaging Study

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate automatic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)‐derived lesion morphometrics against manual measurements and their prognostic value for characterizing distinct acute to chronic neurological recovery trajectories after spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods We studied a retrospective, multicenter cohort of cervical and thoracolumbar

Molecular Diagnosis in Children With Febrile Seizures: Beyond the Conventional Clinical Classification

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Febrile seizures (FS) are currently classified as simple or complex primarily to describe seizure characteristics, with limited ability to identify the underlying etiology. We evaluated whether molecular diagnosis could complement conventional classification and improve the diagnosis and management of FS.

Race and Household Income Are Associated With Disease Outcomes in Pediatric Patients With Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody–Associated Vasculitis Hospitalized in the United States

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Race and household income impact outcomes in patients with rheumatic conditions; however, their role in pediatric antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)–associated vasculitis (AAV) remains poorly understood. We aimed to evaluate whether race and ethnicity and household income are associated with severe AAV disease and renal outcomes among
