Characterization of the motor phenotype and striatal muscle analysis in a mouse model of hereditary spasticity
Objective: Characterize the motor phenotype and contractile force characteristics of skeletal plantar flexor muscles in a mutant mouse model for spasticity. This model displays a…Influence of the spinal manipulation on muscle spasticity: a randomized controlled trial
Objective: To assess how spinal manipulation influences muscle tone of the limbs Background: Muscle spasticity is an important clinical syndrome of many diseases, namely Parkinsons, post-stroke,…Adaptor Protein Complex 4-associated Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (AP-4-HSP): A Paradigm of Childhood-Onset Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia Caused By Defective Protein Trafficking
Objective: Aims of this study include: 1) to generate induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived neurons from patients with AP-4-associated HSP; 2) to characterize these neurons…A new SPG4/SPAST mutation in an Italian family with hereditary spastic paraplegia and Alzheimer’s disease
Objective: To perform a clinical and a genetic study in an Italian family with a complicated form of hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) and Alzheimer’s disease…Pathophysiologic insights into ataxia and spasticity through structural imaging of a spinocerebellar ataxia type 7 (SCA7) cohort
Objective: Correlate clinical measures of ataxia and spasticity in a SCA7 cohort with the pattern and severity of atrophy of grey matter (GM) and white…Spastic paraplegia type 4: a novel SPAST splice site donor mutation and expansion of the phenotype variability
Objective: The aim of this study is to reveal molecular pathogenicity and genotype-phenotype correlations in spastic paraplegia type 4 (SPG4). Background: Mutations in SPG4/SPAST represent…Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis without tendon xanthoma: a diagnostic challenge.
Objective: To describe the case of Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) without tendon xanthoma, highlighting the diagnostic challenge due to its rarity, as well as the importance…Hereditary spastic paraplegia type 31: a novel splice site donor mutation and intra-familial phenotypic variability
Objective: The aim of this study is to reveal molecular pathogenicity and genotype-phenotype correlations in Spastic Paraplegia type 31 (SPG31). Background: Mutations in REEP1 have…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…A homozygous loss-of-function mutation in DNAJA3 causes hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy with spastic paraplegia (HMSN type V)
Objective: To identify a genetic cause for hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy with spastic paraplegia (HMSN type V). Background: Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) constitutes a…
