Complexity of the Genetics and Clinical Presentation of Spinocerebellar Ataxia 17

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 17 (SCA17) is a rare autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disease caused by a CAG repeat expansion in the TATA-box binding protein gene (TBP). The disease has a varied age at onset and clinical presentation.

High Genetic Diagnostic Yield for Patients with Rare Movement Disorders at a Single‐Center Neurogenetics Clinic

open access: yesMovement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background As advanced molecular testing is incorporated into routine clinical practice, accessibility and yield remain limited. Objectives We propose a simplified and effective workup strategy to maximize diagnostic yield based on presented diagnostic yield of rare movement disorders at a tertiary Neurogenetics Clinic.

Paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration associated with lymphoepithelial carcinoma of the tonsil [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Background: Paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration (PCD) is a classical tumor-associated, immune-mediated disease typically associated with gynecological malignancies, small-cell lung-cancer or lymphoma.

Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Spinocerebellar Ataxia: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2019
Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by dysfunction of the cerebellum and its connected neural networks. There is currently no cure for SCA and symptomatic treatment remains limited.

Cognitive Changes in Pre‐ataxic Spinocerebellar Ataxias: A Scoping Review

open access: yesMovement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Although traditionally recognized for motor impairment, evidence suggests that cognitive deficits may emerge before ataxia onset in autosomal dominant spinocerebellar ataxias (SCA), particularly in nucleotide repeat expansion SCAs (NRE‐SCAs).

Epilepsy and Spinocerebellar Ataxia

open access: yesPediatric Neurology Briefs, 2007
A large consanguinous family from Saudi Arabia with 4 affected children presenting with an autosomal recessive ataxia, generalized tonic-clonic epilepsy and mental retardation is reported from the Institut de Genetique, Universite Louis Pasteur, Illkirch,

A targeted gene panel that covers coding, non-coding and short tandem repeat regions improves the diagnosis of patients with neurodegenerative diseases [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Genetic testing for neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) is highly challenging because of genetic heterogeneity and overlapping manifestations. Targeted-gene panels (TGPs), coupled with next-generation sequencing (NGS), can facilitate the profiling of a ...

Action perception recruits the cerebellum and is impaired in patients with spinocerebellar ataxia

open access: yesBrain : a journal of neurology, 2019
Using a combination of neuroimaging and behavioural studies, Abdelgabar et al. show that the cerebellum helps us perceive the actions of others. Disorders such as spinocerebellar ataxia type 6, which disrupt cerebellar functioning, impair our ability to ...
