A case report of two siblings Aicardi-Goutières Syndrome type 2
Objective: To report two sisters with late diagnosis of Aicardi-Goutières Syndrome 2. Background: Aicardi-Goutières Syndrome (AGS) is a rare encephalopathy characterized by basal ganglia calcification,…Digenic inheritance of WARS2 and CHRNA6 mutations in infantile parkinsonism
Objective: To provide evidence of digenic inheritance in infantile parkinsonism. Background: Oligogenic inheritance has been demonstrated in PD[1],where patients with a primary genetic cause can…Acquired (non-Wilsonian) hepatocerebral degeneration: case report
Objective: To present a case of the patient with acquired (non-Wilsonian) hepatocerebral degeneration (AHD). Background: AHD is a clinical syndrome which includes movement and cognitive…Temporal Emergence of Symptoms and Functional Impairments in Patients With Pantothenate Kinase-Associated Neurodegeneration (PKAN)
Objective: To describe the temporal emergence of PKAN symptoms and functional impairments across the spectrum of PKAN severity. Background: PKAN, an autosomal recessive, progressive neurodegenerative…Fragile X Gray Zone Alleles in Men are associated with Parkinsonism
Objective: To determine the association between FMR1 gray zone expansions and the presence of parkinsonism, motor, and cognitive function in an elderly community-based population. Background:…Prevalence of Oropharyngeal Dysphagia in Hereditary Spastic Paraplegias
Objective: We aimed to assess the prevalence of swallowing disorder and to characterize the main clinical signs of dysphagia in genetically confirmed HSP patients. Background:…Are Cognitive Changes in Hereditary Spastic Paraplegias Restricted to Complicated Forms?
Objective: We aimed to characterize cognitive functions of patients with pure and complicated HSP, and to determine the frequency of abnormal cognitive performances in the…Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease with a M232R substitution (CJD232) masquerading as parkinson look-alike syndrome
Objective: To describe a case of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease with a M232R substitution (CJD 232) presented with parkinson look-alike syndrome and showed remarkably long survival time.…Movement disorders in late-onset inborn errors of metabolism – a new diagnostic algorithm
Objective: We propose a novel diagnostic algorithm to help clinicians to diagnose inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) in adolescents and adults that present with a…Case Series of 3 Individuals of African Descent with Dentatorubral-Pallidoluysian Atrophy
Objective: To analyze the demographics, genetic history, co-morbidities, and clinical presentation of three individuals of African descent with Dentatorubral-Pallidoluysian Atrophy (DRPLA). Background: DRPLA is a…
