Genome-wide Analyses Identify KIF5A as a Novel ALS Gene.

Aude Nicolas, +435 more
- 21 Mar 2018 - 
TL;DR: Interestingly, mutations predominantly in the N-terminal motor domain of KIF5A are causative for two neurodegenerative diseases: hereditary spastic paraplegia and Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 2.
Journal ArticleDOI

Riluzole in patients with hereditary cerebellar ataxia: a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial

TL;DR: The findings lend support to the idea that riluzole could be a treatment for cerebellar ataxia, and longer studies and disease-specific trials are needed to confirm whether these findings can be applied in clinical practice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Loss-of-function mutations in the SIGMAR1 gene cause distal hereditary motor neuropathy by impairing ER-mitochondria tethering and Ca2+ signalling.

TL;DR: The involvement of SIGMAR1 in motor neuron maintenance and survival is definitively demonstrated by correlating, for the first time in the Caucasian population, mutations in this gene to distal motor dysfunction and highlighting the chaperone activity of sigma-1R at the MAM as a critical aspect in dHMN pathology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Small fiber neuropathy is a common feature of Ehlers-Danlos syndromes

TL;DR: All patients showed a decrease of IENFD consistent with the diagnosis of small fiber neuropathy (SFN), regardless of the EDS type, suggesting SFN is a common feature in adults with EDS.
