Characterization of GNB1 mutations as a cause of global developmental delay in combination with dystonia, ataxia, or chorea in children
Objective: To investigate the phenotypic and genotypic spectrum of GNB1 (guanine nucleotide-binding protein, beta 1) mutations and to functionally evaluate their pathogenicity. Background: Global developmental…CAPN1 mutations are associated with a syndrome of combined spasticity and ataxia
Objective: To report a new family with combined spasticity and ataxia harboring mutations in the CAPN1 gene. Background: Hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSPs) are a heterogeneous group…Repeat size and X-inactivation in the clinical phenotype of fragile X premutation carrier sisters: A familial case series
Objective: To describe the role of X-inactivation in clinically discordant phenotypes in sisters with a fragile X mental retardation 1 (FMR1) gene premutation but varying…Predominant motor neuron involvement in autosomal recessive SYNE1 ataxia
Objective: We here report on a novel SYNE1 mutation in an Austrian family extending the classical clinical phenotype in SYNE1 ataxia. Background: SYNE1 codes for…Co-occurrence of two triplet repeat associated SCA mutations: A dilemma in clinical diagnosis, prognosis and genetic counselling and clinical significance
Objective: To report clinical and genetic outcomes of rare combinatiorial triplet repeat expansion(TRE), SCA mutations in patients. Background: The presence of more than one TRE-SCA…Novel variants in the SACS gene in a first Central-Eastern European family with autosomal recessive spastic ataxia of Charlevoix-Saguenay (ARSACS)
Objective: To present genetics, clinical description and natural history of the disease in four members of a Polish family with novel variants in the SACS…Expanding the spectrum of PEX10-related peroxisomal biogenesis disorders: Slowly progressive recessive ataxia
Objective: Our objective was to report 3 patients with ataxia and unusually prolonged survival caused by missense mutations in the Zinc finger region of PEX10.…Autosomal recessive ataxia due to ANO10 mutations; full and novel phenotypic data in an Irish pedigree
Objective: We report on a family with ataxia due to mutations in the ANO10 gene to provide comprehensive clinical and cognitive data on the associated…A novel phenotype associated with GRN mutations: Spastic ataxia
Objective: We report a patient with Spastic Ataxia caused by new homozygous mutations in the GRN gene. Background: The gene GRN located on chromosome 17…CAG repeats number of ATXN7 in SCA7 patients and normal population in Japan
Objective: Patients with spinocerebellar ataxia type 7 (SCA7) have progressive ataxia associated with pigmental macular degeneration, pyramidal and extrapyramidal signs and some of them have…
