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…Diagnostic algorithm in recessive and sporadic early-onset ataxias
Objective: To develop a diagnostic algorithm that allows to differentiate recessive or sporadic ataxias by the clinical phenotype, biochemical markers and neuroimaging studies of the…Immune-Mediated and Mercury Intoxication Ataxias: Anti-GAD Antibodies and Dynamic Stabilometriс Assessment
Objective: The goals of our study were evaluation of disequilibrium, static and dynamic functions and anti-GAD antibodies concentrations in immune mediated and mercury intoxication ataxias…Role of Uric Acid in Friedreich Ataxia neurodegeneration
Objective: Friedreich Ataxia (FRDA) is an inherited recessive disease with reduced frataxin levels. This causes a reduced mitochondrial function and progressive neurodegeneration. The aim of…Progressive Ataxia with Palatal Tremor in a Metal Worker with Possible Osmotic Demyelination
Objective: We present the case of a 40 year old male alcoholic metal worker with 3 years of progressive ataxia of gait and palatal tremor. …Cerebellar bioenergetic depletion following ubiquinol supplementation in a patient with COQ8A-related ataxia
Objective: To non-invasively map the individual treatment response in a patient with COQ8A-related ataxia following coenzyme Q10 supplementation. Background: Primary coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) deficiency is…
