Novel pathogenic SLC25A46 splice-site mutation causes an optic atrophy spectrum disorder
The inherited optic neuropathies comprise a group of genetically heterogeneous disorders causing optic nerve dysfunction. In some cases, optic neuropathies are associated with cerebellar atrophy which mainly affects the vermis.

OPA1-related disorders: Diversity of clinical expression, modes of inheritance and pathophysiology
Mutations in the Optic Atrophy 1 gene (OPA1) were first identified in 2000 as the main cause of Dominant Optic Atrophy, a disease specifically affecting the retinal ganglion cells and the optic nerve.

SPG4 and Dementia: Expanding the Clinical Spectrum
ABSTRACT Objective Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is a group of disorders characterized by progressive spasticity and lower limb weakness, with mutations in SPG4/SPAST being the most common cause. Detailed studies and clinical and molecular comparisons across different populations are missing.

[18F]Fluorodeprenyl‐D2 PET as a Tool to Monitor Disease Activity in GAD65‐Ab Autoimmune Encephalitis
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate [18F]fluorodeprenyl‐D2 ([18F]F‐DED) positron‐emission tomography (PET) imaging as a biomarker of disease activity in autoimmune encephalitis (AIE) associated with glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 (GAD65) antibodies. Methods [18F]F‐DED PET was performed in 25 GAD65‐AIE patients and 8 controls using dynamic (0–60 min) and ...

Three Types of Optic Disc Edema in Optic Nerve Sheath Meningioma
ONSM (optic nerve sheath meningioma) accounts for approximately 2% of all orbital tumors and represents around 1-2% of all meningiomas. Classical triad of progressive visual loss, optic nerve atrophy, and presence of optociliary shunt vessels is ...

First TMEM126A missense mutation in an Italian proband with optic atrophy and deafness [PDF]
Recessively inherited optic neuropathy has been an elusive entity for a long time. Currently, a few causative genes have been described,1-6 associated with a spectrum of isolated or syndromic optic atrophy.
