Natural History, Phenotypic Spectrum, and Discriminative Features of Multisystemic RFC1 Disease [PDF]
To delineate the full phenotypic spectrum, discriminative features, piloting longitudinal progression data, and sample size calculations of replication factor complex subunit 1 (RFC1) repeat expansions, recently identified as causing cerebellar ataxia, neuropathy, vestibular areflexia syndrome (CANVAS).Multimodal RFC1 repeat screening (PCR, Southern ...

RFC1 expansions are a common cause of idiopathic sensory neuropathy [PDF]
Abstract After extensive evaluation, one-third of patients affected by polyneuropathy remain undiagnosed and are labelled as having chronic idiopathic axonal polyneuropathy, which refers to a sensory or sensory-motor, axonal, slowly progressive neuropathy of unknown origin.

The study of association between reduced folate carrier 1 (RFC1) polymorphism and non-syndromic cleft lip/palate in Iranian population [PDF]
Introduction: Cleft lip/palate is one of the most common congenital defects and is supposed to have multifactorial etiology, including a complex interaction between genetics and environment.

RFC1 AAGGG repeat expansion masquerading as Chronic Idiopathic Axonal Polyneuropathy [PDF]
Abstract Background A biallelic intronic AAGGG repeat expansion in the Replication Factor C subunit 1 (RFC1) gene has been recently associated with Cerebellar Ataxia, Neuropathy, Vestibular Areflexia Syndrome, a disorder often presenting as a slowly evolving sensory neuropathy at the onset.

The Multifactorial Causes of Down Syndrome During Pregnancy: A Narrative Review of Genetic, Environmental, and Maternal Influences. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Chromosomal nondisjunction is the primary etiology of Down syndrome; however, genetic variations, environmental causes, and maternal etiologies also contribute to a great extent. The objective of this review is to evaluate these multifaceted factors during pregnancy.

Non-coding repeat expansions within RFC1 and NOTCH2NLC genes have lately been linked to multisystem neurodegenerative diseases, which also shed light on yet undiagnosed patients with inherited peripheral neuropathies.

Investigating RFC1 expansions in sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
A homozygous AAGGG repeat expansion within the RFC1 gene was recently described as a common cause of CANVAS syndrome. We examined 1069 sporadic ALS patients for the presence of this repeat expansion. We did not discover any carriers of the homozygous AAGGG expansion in our ALS cohort, indicating that this form of RFC1 repeat expansions is not a common ...

ITPR1 Deletion in a Patient With Sensory Ataxic Neuropathy and Sjögren Syndrome. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Sensory ataxic neuropathies (SAN) are rare large fibre sensory neuropathies characterised by progressive sensory loss and ataxia. They may be inherited or acquired. When inherited they are more commonly seen as part of a broader syndrome involving cerebellar ataxia or mitochondrial dysfunction.

Acute Vestibular Syndrome Unmasking an RFC1-Spectrum Disorder. [PDF]
OBJECTIVES: Since the discovery of biallelic pentanucleotide expansions in RFC1 as the cause of cerebellar ataxia, neuropathy, vestibular areflexia syndrome, a wide and growing clinical spectrum has emerged. In this article, we report a man with acute vestibular syndrome that likely unmasked a RFC1-spectrum disorder.

Decitabine impact on the endocytosis regulator RhoA, the folate carriers RFC1 and FOLR1, and the glucose transporter GLUT4 in human tumors. [PDF]
BackgroundIn 31 solid tumor patients treated with the demethylating agent decitabine, we performed tumor biopsies before and after the first cycle of decitabine and used immunohistochemistry (IHC) to assess whether decitabine increased expression of ...
