Japanese cases of Sez6l2 autoimmunity
Objective: We aimed to establish a method for measuring anti-Sez6l2 antibody and to clarify how many patients with anti-Sez6l2 antibody-associated cerebellar ataxia (CA) exist in…Aberrant Volume-wise and Voxel-wise Concordance among Dynamic Intrinsic Brain Activity Indices in Parkinson’s Disease
Objective: We sought to explore the concordance between the dynamics of different rs-fMRI regional indices in order to better understand intrinsic brain activity (IBA) alterations and…Tullio phenomenon in CANVAS Syndrome
Objective: To describe Tullio phenomenon in a patient with CANVAS (cerebellar ataxia with neuropathy and vestibular areflexia syndrome). Background: CANVAS is a progressive ataxia syndrome…Evaluation of rapid eye movement behavioral disorder (RBD) in sporadic adult onset ataxia (SAOA)- A prospective observational study
Objective: 1. To evaluate the presence of RBD in patients with SAOA2. To follow up patients of SAOA with RBD whether they develop multiple system…Isolated ZIC4 antibody associated paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration
Objective: Anti-ZIC4 antibodies have recently been associated with paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration (PCD) and are usually associated with small cell carcinoma lung. However, most of the…Electrophysiologic and Kinematic characterization of degenerative cerebellar ataxia
Objective: To characterize degenerative cerebellar ataxia by measuring quantitative electrophysiology, upper limb kinematics and gait. Background: Loss of cerebellar brain inhibition (CBI) in ataxia leads…3′ UTR variations may alter the mRNA expression in spinocerebellar ataxia type-2.
Objective: 1. To study the miRNA binding site variations by direct sequencing of 3’ UTR of ATXN-2gene.2. To check the mRNA expression by using qRT-PCR…Cortical Correlates of Gait in Pre-Manifest And Early Spinocerebellar Ataxia
Objective: We investigated whether prefrontal cortex activity is increased during walking in pre-manifest and early spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) compared to healthy controls. Background: Spinocerebellar ataxia…Leading Therapeutic Molecules Target Transcription Factors Binding to Repressor Region in FXN Gene
Objective: To investigate interactions of transcription factors (TFs) binding to repressor region located upstream to FXN gene with leading therapeutic molecules. Background: Low levels of…Metabolic profile in the brain with Fragile X-associated Tremor/Ataxia Syndrome (FXTAS)
Objective: We analyzed changes in the concentration of primary metabolites in post-mortem brain samples from FXTAS cases. We also investigated how these changes relate to…
