Relevance of Kappa and Lambda Free Light Chains in Autoimmune Astrocytopathy Associated With Anti‐GFAP Antibodies

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction The kappa‐free light chain (κ‐FLC) index is known to be highly sensitive and specific for diagnosing multiple sclerosis (MS), while little is understood about lambda (λ)‐FLC. This study assessed the κ‐FLC and λ‐FLC indices in autoimmune glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) astrocytopathy.

Fixel‐Based Analysis of Diffusion Imaging as a Quantitative Marker of Disease State in Spinocerebellar Ataxia

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) are a group of genetically heterogeneous neurodegenerative diseases causing progressive deterioration and reduced quality of life. Therapeutic advances have been limited by a lack of sensitive anatomic, functional, or diffusion imaging‐based biomarkers.

Correlation Between Irisin and Cognitive Functions in Alzheimer Dementia

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective The myokine irisin, a recent positive mediator of exercise in the brain, shows neuroprotective functions against Alzheimer's disease (AD). The association between irisin and cognition has never been explored in a biologically defined cohort of patients.

The Comparative Effectiveness and Tolerability of Sphingosine‐1‐Phosphate Receptor Modulators in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis: A Network Meta‐Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Sphingosine‐1‐phosphate receptor modulators (S1PRM) are used to treat relapsing multiple sclerosis (MS). Each drug has a different S1PR‐subtype selectivity. They target the G‐protein coupled S1P receptors and exert significant immunomodulatory effects, such as preventing the formation of new CNS lesions and the reactivation of pre ...

A Novel C19orf47‐AKT2 Chimeric RNA Generated by Cis‐Splicing of Adjacent Genes Is Associated With Glioblastoma Prognosis

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Malignant gliomas pose significant therapeutic challenges. This study aimed to identify and characterize a novel chimeric RNA in glioma and assess its clinical and functional significance for precision treatment. Methods The C19orf47‐AKT2 chimeric RNAs were identified through RNA sequencing and validated by polymerase chain reaction.

Discovery and Treatment of Action Potential‐Independent Myotonia in Hyperkalemic Periodic Paralysis

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Hyperkalemic periodic paralysis (hyperKPP) is characterized by attacks of transient weakness. A subset of hyperKPP patients suffers from transient involuntary contraction of muscle (myotonia). The goal of this study was to determine mechanisms causing myotonia in hyperKPP.

Cognitive Resilience in Apolipoprotein ε4 Carrier Women Predicted by Neuron‐Derived Extracellular Vesicles

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective The Apolipoprotein (APOE) ε4 allele is the strongest genetic risk factor for late‐onset Alzheimer's disease (AD); however, many ε4 carriers remain cognitively intact into old age. Leveraging plasma neuron‐derived extracellular vesicles (NDEVs), we sought to identify biomarkers of cognitive resilience and their interplay with APOE ...

Exploring if Longitudinal Changes on PET Imaging Can Serve as a Biomarker for Stiff Person Syndrome Spectrum Disorders

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To identify metabolic patterns in the brain and musculoskeletal system of stiff person syndrome spectrum disorders (SPSD) patients over time using PET imaging and evaluate the impact of immune therapy on metabolic activity as a surrogate for treatment response.

NOTCH2NLC Repeat Expansions in Parkinsonian Disorders: Clinical and Neuroimaging Characteristics

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease (NIID) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by NOTCH2NLC GGC repeat expansions, with heterogeneous clinical manifestations, including parkinsonism. Recent studies have identified NOTCH2NLC repeat expansions in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and atypical parkinsonism (aPM), suggesting ...
