A Severity‐Agnostic Atrophy Pattern in Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 3: Volumetrics from ENIGMA‐Ataxia

open access: yesMovement Disorders, EarlyView.
Background Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3) is a rare, inherited neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive loss of motor coordination. Objectives We undertook a multisite magnetic resonance imaging study to profile the spatial spread of atrophy across the brain, determine whether atrophy preferentially maps onto specific functional ...

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

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.

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 : functional analysis of the stomatognathic system [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Neurodegenerative diseases that affect the cerebellum, especially in elderly individuals, cause impairment of motor coordination and quality of life. The presente study evaluated the electromyographic activity and thickness of the right and left masseter

Stage-Dependent Biomarker Changes in Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 3 [PDF]

open access: yes
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3/Machado–Joseph disease is the most common autosomal dominant ataxia. In view of the development of targeted therapies, knowledge of early biomarker changes is needed.

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.

The DNA/RNA autophagy protein SIDT2 as a novel neuropathological hallmark in Huntington disease

open access: yesBrain Pathology, EarlyView.
SIDT2‐immunoreactive inclusions are observed in the striatum, cerebral cortex, and hypothalamus in HD cases with different Vonsattel grades, and the frequency of SIDT2‐immunoreactive inclusions is associated with longer CAG repeats in the huntingtin gene.
