Cross-examining candidate genes implicated in multiple system atrophy
Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease characterized by the clinical triad of parkinsonism, cerebellar ataxia and autonomic failure, impacting on striatonigral, olivopontocerebellar and autonomic systems.

Linking the cerebellum posterior lobules atrophy to multiple system atrophy cognitive impairment
Background: Cognitive impairments in multiple system atrophy (MSA) are linked to cerebellar dysfunction, but the role of specific posterior cerebellar lobules in domain-specific deficits remains unclear.

Polyglutamine-expanded androgen receptor interferes with TFEB to elicit autophagy defects in SBMA. [PDF]
Macroautophagy (hereafter autophagy) is a key pathway in neurodegeneration. Despite protective actions, autophagy may contribute to neuron demise when dysregulated.

Cognitive impairment in multiple system atrophy: Changing concepts
Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is characterized by a variable combination of cerebellar ataxia, parkinsonism and pyramidal signs associated with autonomic failure. Classically, cognitive impairment was not considered a clinical feature of MSA and dementia
