Neurochemical Endpoints to Inform Early‐Stage Trials of Spinocerebellar Ataxia 2 and 3 in a Multisite Setting

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Neurochemical levels measured by brain MR spectroscopy (MRS) have been proposed as endpoints for clinical trials in early‐stage spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) trials. We tested their trial‐readiness by quantifying neurochemicals in three affected brain regions in early‐stage cohorts of SCA2 and SCA3, examining their reproducibility in ...

ATXN2-CAG42 sequesters PABPC1 into insolubility and induces FBXW8 in cerebellum of old ataxic knock-in mice

, 2012
Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 2 (SCA2) is caused by expansion of a polyglutamine encoding triplet repeat in the human ATXN2 gene beyond (CAG)31. This is thought to mediate toxic gain-of-function by protein aggregation and to affect RNA processing ...

Cardiovascular Exercise Drives Neuroprotection in a Mouse Model of Spinocerebellar Ataxia 1 Via Rescue of Aberrant Splicing

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Spinocerebellar ataxia 1 (SCA1) is a fatal hereditary neurodegenerative disorder with no approved therapies, and gene‐targeting strategies have thus far failed in clinical trials. Exercise remains the only intervention shown to provide clinical benefit in patients with spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs), yet the underlying mechanisms remain ...

Molecular genetic characterization of ataxic movement disorders in mouse and human [PDF]

, 2009
Deletion at ITPR1 underlies a young onset autosomal recessive ataxia in mice and a late onset autosomal dominant ataxia (SCA15) in humans. Data presented show the utility of investigating spontaneous mouse mutations in understanding human disease ...

Genetic epilepsies with myoclonic seizures: Mechanisms and syndromes

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Genetic epilepsy with myoclonic seizures encompasses a heterogeneous spectrum of conditions, ranging from benign and self‐limiting forms to severe, progressive disorders. While their causes are diverse, a significant proportion stems from genetic abnormalities.

Gait Adaptability Training Improves Gait in Spinocerebellar Ataxia Patients

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) is a rare, genetic neurodegenerative movement disorder primarily affecting the cerebellum. So far, there is no available cure for SCA. However, evidence suggests that neurorehabilitation can alleviate symptoms.
