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,…Clinical and genetic analysis of ataxic patients with CACNA1A mutations in Taiwan
Objective: To study the clinical presentation of ataxic patients with CACNA1A mutations in a Taiwanese cohort. Background: Mutations of CACNA1A gene is the genetic cause…Allelic CACNA1A disorders: a retrospective cohort analysis on clinical course and overlapping features
Objective: To (1) retrospectively study emerging clinical symptoms and disease course in a cohort of patients with genetically proven CACNA1A mutations and (2) to define…Focal dystonia as an early symptom of CACNA1A mutation: case report and literature review.
Objective: We describe two cases, a father-daughter pair, of CACNA1A mutation with task specific dystonia as an early feature. The father otherwise had a phenotype…Phenotype and genotype variability of CACNA1A in a cohort of ataxia in Taiwan
Objective: To study the phenotype and genotype variability of CACNA1A in a cohort of ataxia. Background: CACNA1A gene encodes a voltage-dependent, P/Q type calcium channel…
