Cognition in neuromuscular disease

open access: yesJournal of Pediatric Rehabilitation Medicine, 2008
Although neuromuscular diseases primarily affect an individual's physical functioning, the cognitive and psychosocial effects of these conditions can be quite significant. This paper provides an overview of a subset of neuromuscular diseases and their associated neurocognitive risks.

Metabolic and Fluid Biomarkers Support Microglia Activation in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is an incurable neurodegenerative disease involving motor neuron degeneration and metabolic and immune dysfunction. We combined clinical data, cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers and fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography with magnetic resonance imaging to investigate the role of reactive microglia in disease ...

Resistance Exercise Training in McArdle Disease: Myth or Reality?

open access: yesCase Reports in Neurological Medicine, 2018
McArdle disease is a metabolic myopathy mainly characterised by symptom onset during physical activities or isometric muscle contraction. Resistance (also termed strength) training is a type of physical exercise focusing on the use of resistance (e.g ...

Autoimmune Comorbidities as Modifiers of Phenotypic Heterogeneity in Facioscapulohumeral Dystrophy

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Facioscapulohumeral dystrophy type 1 (FSHD1) shows clinical heterogeneity that is only partly explained by D4Z4 repeat unit (RU) size. Although immune and inflammatory mechanisms may contribute to disease variability, the prevalence and clinical impact of autoimmune diseases in FSHD remain unclear.

Genetic dissection of down syndrome-associated alterations in APP/amyloid-β biology using mouse models

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Individuals who have Down syndrome (caused by trisomy of chromosome 21), have a greatly elevated risk of early-onset Alzheimer’s disease, in which amyloid-β accumulates in the brain. Amyloid-β is a product of the chromosome 21 gene APP (amyloid precursor

Clinical Variability and Genotype Driven Outcomes in an International Cohort of 14 Pediatric FIG4 Patients

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Biallelic FIG4 variants classically cause distinct conditions characterized by peripheral neuropathy (Charcot‐Marie‐Tooth disease type 4J) or skeletal dysplasia (Yunis‐Varón syndrome). However, central nervous system involvement is increasingly recognized. The prevalence and specific characteristics of movement disorders within FIG4‐

Real-world multidisciplinary outcomes of onasemnogene abeparvovec monotherapy in patients with spinal muscular atrophy type 1: experience of the French cohort in the first three years of treatment

open access: yesOrphanet Journal of Rare Diseases
Background Spinal muscular atrophy type 1 (SMA1) is the most severe and early form of SMA, a genetic disease with motor neuron degeneration. Onasemnogene abeparvovec gene transfer therapy (GT) has changed the natural history of SMA1, but real-world data ...

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

open access: yesAnnals 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).
