Characterisation of the A30P mutation in alpha-synuclein gene in patient-derived cellular model of Parkinson’s disease
Objective: In this study, we aim to generate and characterise patient-derived midbrain dopaminergic neurons (mDANs) of the A30P Parkinson's disease (PD) familial case. Our goal…Parkinson’s disease-associated Miro1 mutants cause mitochondrial dysfunction
Objective: In the present study we dissected the role of the first PD-associated mutations in RhoT1, the gene encoding for Miro1. Background: Commonly involved pathogenic…Spinocerebellar ataxia 17: First observation in Russia
Objective: To report the detection of the first case of spinocerebellar ataxia 17 in Russian population. Background: Autosomal dominant spinocerebellar ataxias (AD SCAs) are clinically…Communication and language skills in Huntington’s disease
Objective: To characterize the language and communication abilities of HD patients as reflected in tasks involving naming, verbal fluency, working memory and pragmatics. Background: Huntington's…Emotional facial EMG responses are affected in Huntington’s disease
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate emotional facial muscle responses in Huntington's Disease (HD). We examined induced experience-related responses when viewing emotional…A health cost analysis for Huntington disease in Peru
Objective: To estimate economic costs of caring for an individual with Huntington disease from the patients and caregivers perspective. Background: Huntington disease (HD) is a…Atypical parkinsonism in C9orf72 expansions: A case report and systematic review of 45 cases from the literature
Objective: To provide a systematic clinical characterisation of C9orf72-associated parkinsonism. Background: While C9orf72 repeat expansions usually present with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and/or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis…Preliminary results for a study on quality of life in Huntington’s disease patients and their caregivers in Peru
Objective: To quantitatively and qualitatively explore the determinants of quality of life (QOL) in Huntington's Disease (HD) patients and their caregivers in Peru. Background: HD…A clinico-genetical study in a large cohort of patients with spastic paraplegia type 4 (SPG4)
Objective: This study includes the evaluation of a comprehensive spectrum of neurological features and the mutational screening of the SPG4/SPAST gene in patients with hereditary…No RAB39B gene mutations in Chinese familial Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To validate the susceptibility to familial PD patients caused by RAB39B in Chinese Han population. Background: Recently, RAB39B mutations c.503C>A and c.574G>A have been…
