Neuropathology of a patient with Parkinson's disease and biallelic expansion in RFC1
This is the first report of neuropathology in biallelic RFC1 expansion‐associated Parkinson’s disease (PD). It shows a synucleinopathy of intraneuronal Lewy bodies consistent with the clinical PD diagnosis while neuropathological CANVAS (Cerebellar Ataxia with Neuropathy and bilateral Vestibular Areflexia) features were absent.

Abstract Background and Purpose Radiprodil is a GluN2B subunit selective NMDA receptor negative allosteric modulator which is currently under clinical investigation as a possible anti‐epileptic drug for paediatric use. Our goal was to investigate the inhibition of dopaminergic neuron NMDA responses by radiprodil.
