Novel Partial Gene Deletion in CaCNA1A Presenting with Gait Ataxia, Vertigo, and Abnormal Eye Movements
Objective: To report a partial gene deletion in CaCNA1A associated with ataxia. Background: CaCNA1A gene, located on chromosome 19p, encodes the alpha-1a subunit of the…Identification and Screening of Candidate Genes for Paroxysmal Movement Disorders by Next Generation Sequencing Approach for Developing Molecular Diagnostics.
Objective: To explore the clinical and genetic features of Paroxysmal Movement Disorders by using Whole Exome Sequencing. Background: Paroxysmal movement disorders (PMDs) comprise both paroxysmal…Intronic FGF14 GAA repeat expansions are a common cause of ataxia syndromes with neuropathy and bilateral vestibulopathy
Objective: To report on the frequency of intronic GAA expansions in the fibroblast growth factor 14 (FGF14) gene in patients with an unexplained cerebellar ataxia,…Episodic ataxia type 2: a previously undescribed variant in the CACNA1A gene
Objective: To describe a previously unreported variant in the CACNA1A gene in a patient with episodic ataxia type 2 (EA2) phenotype. Background: EA2 is the…Endocannabinoid Dysfunction in Human Disease: Neuro-Ocular DAGLA-related Syndrome (NODrS), a unique pediatric condition
Objective: To define a new pediatric movement disorder and conclusively link the endocannabinoid system to human disease. Background: The endocannabinoid system is a highly conserved…Update from the international MDSGene initiative: International team science to perform genotype-phenotype correlations for hereditary movement disorders
Objective: The international MDSGene initiative aims to extract, summarize, curate, and illustrate data from movement disorder patients on the phenotypic and mutational level for which…Genotype-Phenotype correlations of Episodic Ataxia (EA). MDSGene Systematic Review
Objective: To systematically review genotype-phenotype correlations for the four known genes causing EA. Background: EA is a group of heterogeneous disorders characterized by recurrent attacks…Hearing Evaluation (Peripheral and Central) in Patients with Sporadic Ataxia
Objective: To describe the audiological and electrophysiological results in patients with sporadic ataxia. Background: Patients with progressive non-familial adult ataxia are classified into a sporadic…Novel CACNA1A gene mutation in a Taiwan family with episodic ataxia type 2
Objective: To illustrate a family of episodic ataxia type 2 with atypical presentations and a novel mutation of CACNA1A gene Background: The episodic ataxias (EAs)…Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex Assessment in Patients with Sporadic Ataxia
Objective: To identify vestibular alterations in patients with sporadic ataxia (SA). Background: Sporadic ataxia (SA) is classified as a neurological condition characterized by adult onset,…
