Spinocerebellar ataxia 17: Inconsistency between phenotype and neuroimage findings

open access: yesAnnals of Indian Academy of Neurology, 2013
Spinocerebellar ataxia 17 (SCA17) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disease clinically characterized by the presence of cerebellar ataxia in combination with variable neurological symptoms.

Systematic Review of the Huntington's Disease Drug Development Pipeline, 2014 to 2025

open access: yesMovement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background In the past decade, significant advances have improved our understanding of the mechanisms underlying HD pathobiology leading to several putative therapeutic targets for HD. Objective The aim was to describe the Huntington's disease (HD) drug development clinical pipeline.

Cognitive dysfunction in spinocerebellar ataxias [PDF]

open access: yesDementia & Neuropsychologia, 2009
Abstract Spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) comprise a heterogeneous group of complex neurodegenerative diseases, characterized by the presence of progressive cerebellar ataxia, associated or otherwise with ophthalmoplegia, pyramidal signs, extrapyramidal features, pigmentary retinopathy, peripheral neuropathy, cognitive dysfunction and dementia ...

Frequency of ZFHX3‐Mediated Spinocerebellar Ataxia 4 in a US Undiagnosed Ataxia Cohort

open access: yesMovement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Spinocerebellar ataxia 4 (SCA4) is a late‐onset dominant ataxia with neuropathy caused by exonic GGC repeat expansion in the ZFHX3 gene thought to originate from a Swedish founder event. The GC‐rich expansion is highly thermodynamically stable, posing challenges for standard clinical genetic testing methods.

Spinocerebellar Ataxia 27: A Review and Characterization of an Evolving Phenotype

open access: yesTremor and Other Hyperkinetic Movements, 2018
Background: Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) is an uncommon form of progressive cerebellar ataxia with multiple genetic causes and marked variability in phenotypic expression even across patients with identical genetic abnormalities.

Key Interventions in Friedreich's Ataxia and Their Impact on Patient Outcomes: A Systematic Review

open access: yesMovement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Friedreich's ataxia (FA) is a rare neurodegenerative disease with multisystemic symptoms that requires multidisciplinary care. This systematic review summarizes available pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions, their outcomes, and alignment with patient‐centered care domains, as well as their impact on these domains.

DNA Repair Pathway Variants Are Enriched in Individuals with Biallelic AAGGG CANVAS and RFC1‐Related Disease

open access: yesMovement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Cerebellar ataxia, neuropathy and vestibular are flexia syndrome (CANVAS) and RFC1‐related disease are most commonly caused by biallelic AAGGG repeat expansions in RFC1. The high population frequency of this expansion compared to the frequency of CANVAS suggests incomplete penetrance.

Expanded ATXN3 CAG Repeat is Stable in Human Purkinje Cells

open access: yesMovement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by an abnormally long polyglutamine‐encoding CAG repeat in the ATXN3 gene. Objectives We aimed to determine whether somatic expansion of the mutant ATXN3 (mATXN3) CAG repeat is present in the output cell of the cerebellar cortex, the Purkinje cell (PC), in ...

Biomarkers in Spinocerebellar Ataxias

open access: yesThe Cerebellum
Abstract Biomarkers are defined as measures that indicate biological processes and responses to interventions. Spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) are autosomal dominantly inherited, progressive diseases. As targeted therapies for SCAs are being developed, there is a great need for biomarkers for use in clinical trials. Molecular genetic tests are

PML as a neuroprotective guardian: Leveraging nuclear protein quality control to mitigate neurotoxicity of an ALS‐associated NEK1 variant

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Insoluble protein aggregates are a hallmark of neurodegenerative diseases like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The ubiquitin–proteasome system (UPS) serves as a neuroprotective quality control mechanism that clears aggregates. PML nuclear bodies (NBs) were proposed to serve as hubs for SUMO‐primed ubiquitylation and degradation of misfolded ...
