Objective: To present the clinical profiles of two siblings with SCA11 who are of Hispanic origin. Background: Spinocerebellar ataxia type 11 (SCA11) is an autosomal…The environmental and genetic risk factors in multiple system atrophy in a Taiwanese population
Objective: The etiology of MSA remains uncertain. Cholesterol and its metabolism derangements, α-Synuclein and CoQ2 genetic polymorphism have been disclosed to be associated with the…Changes in saccade performance with oculomotor task repetition in neurological disorders
Objective: To investigate short-term changes in saccade performance associated with repeated performance of oculomotor tasks in various neurological disorders and to elucidate the underlying neural…Assessment of graphomotor impairment in patients with Spinocerebellar ataxia and Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The study aimed to assess the kinematic characteristics of handwriting in patients with Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) and to compare it with patients with Parkinson's disease…Audiological Evaluation in Sporadic Ataxia
Objective: to describe the audiological and electrophysiological results in patients with sporadic ataxia (SA). Background: Patients with adult onset non-familial progressive ataxia are classified in…Induced pluripotent stem cells based in-vitro modelling of Spinocerebellar Ataxia type -12 (SCA-12).
Objective: To derive neuronal lineages from patient’s peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and exploration of disease biology. Background: Spinocerebellar ataxia type-12 (SCA-12) is a progressive cerebellar…Targeting the intracellular localization of Ataxin-3 as novel treatment strategy for Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 3
Objective: Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3) or Machado-Joseph disease (MJD) is an autosomal-dominantly inherited neurodegenerative disorder caused by a CAG expansion in the ATXN3 gene…Prodromal criteria of spinocerebellar type 2: Lessons for physiopathology, natural history and therapeutical trials
Objective: To identify criteria defining the prodromal stage of spinocerebellar ataxia 2 (SCA2). Background: The prodromal stage of spinocerebellar ataxias has not been systematically studied…Peripheral insulin sensitivity and body composition alterations in early stage Machado Joseph disease
Objective: To describe body composition and peripheral sensitivity to insulin (PSI) in early stage and presymptomatic spinocerebellar ataxia type 3/Machado Joseph disease (SCA3/MJD) individuals and…Magnetic resonance imaging in spinocerebellar ataxias: A systematic review
Objective: To perform a systematic review about quantitative central nervous system (CNS) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques findings in patients with Polyglutamine expansion (PolyQ) spinocerebellar…
