LINC00323 variant is associated with increased risk of essential tremor

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
Abstract Essential tremor (ET) is a common adult movement disorder, with accumulating evidence suggesting that genetic factors primarily account for ET risk. However, replication studies on the genetic variants have yielded inconsistent results. In our case–control study, we show that the LINC00323 variant, identified in a European GWAS study, is ...

Cognitive reserve against Alzheimer’s pathology is linked to brain activity during memory formation

Nature Communications
The cognitive reserve (CR) hypothesis posits that individuals can differ in how their brain function is disrupted by pathology associated with aging and neurodegeneration.

Progressive Myoclonus Epilepsy: Distinctive MRI Changes in Cerebellar and Motor Networks

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Progressive myoclonus epilepsy (PME) is a rare generalized epilepsy syndrome with a well‐characterized genetic basis. The brain networks that are affected to give rise to the distinctive symptoms of PME are less well understood. Methods Eleven individuals with PME with a confirmed genetic diagnosis and 22 controls were studied.

In vitro Models of Neurodegenerative Diseases

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020
Neurodegenerative diseases are progressive degenerative conditions characterized by the functional deterioration and ultimate loss of neurons. These incurable and debilitating diseases affect millions of people worldwide, and therefore represent a major ...

FGF14 GAA Intronic Expansion in Unsolved Adult‐Onset Ataxia in the Care4Rare Canada Consortium

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Spinocerebellar ataxias (SCA) represent a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of progressive neurodegenerative diseases with prominent cerebellar atrophy. Recently, a novel pathogenic repeat expansion in intron 1 of FGF14 was identified, causing adult‐onset SCA (SCA27B). We aimed to determine the proportion

Mitochondrial oxidant stress promotes α-synuclein aggregation and spreading in mice with mutated glucocerebrosidase

npj Parkinson's Disease
In this study, heterozygous expression of a common Parkinson-associated GBA1 variant, the L444P mutation, was found to exacerbate α-synuclein aggregation and spreading in a mouse model of Parkinson-like pathology targeting neurons of the medullary vagal ...

Claustrum Volume Is Reduced in Multiple Sclerosis and Predicts Disability

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective The claustrum is a small, thin structure of predominantly gray matter with broad connectivity and enigmatic function. Little is known regarding the impact of claustrum pathology in multiple sclerosis (MS). Methods This study assessed whether claustrum volume was reduced in MS and whether reductions were associated with specific ...
