Journal ArticleDOI
Glycine receptor antibodies in PERM and related syndromes: characteristics, clinical features and outcomes.
Alexander Carvajal-González,Maria Isabel Leite,Patrick Waters,Mark Woodhall,Ester Coutinho,Bettina Balint,Bethan Lang,Philippa Pettingill,Aisling Carr,U M Sheerin,Press R,Michael P. Lunn,Ming K. Lim,Paul Maddison,Hans-Michael Meinck,Wim Vandenberghe,Angela Vincent +16 more
TL;DR: The first prospective cohort of patients with glycine receptor antibodies are described, with the majority having progressive encephalomyelitis with rigidity and myoclonus and making a good recovery with immunotherapies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Movement disorders with neuronal antibodies: syndromic approach, genetic parallels and pathophysiology.
Bettina Balint,Bettina Balint,Bettina Balint,Angela Vincent,Hans-Michael Meinck,Sarosh R. Irani,Kailash P. Bhatia +6 more
TL;DR: A novel phenotype-oriented algorithmic approach is provided to guide diagnosis of movement disorders and points out parallels between immune-mediated and genetic conditions presenting with similar phenotypes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interferon beta-induced restoration of regulatory T-cell function in multiple sclerosis is prompted by an increase in newly generated naive regulatory T cells.
Mirjam Korporal,Juergen Haas,Bettina Balint,Benedikt Fritzsching,Alexander Schwarz,Sigrid Moeller,Brigitte Fritz,Elisabeth Suri-Payer,Brigitte Wildemann +8 more
TL;DR: The increase in T(Reg)-cell inhibitory capacity mediated by interferon beta treatment can be explained by its effect on the homeostatic balance within the T(reg) cell compartment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dystonia: An Update on Phenomenology, Classification, Pathogenesis and Treatment
Bettina Balint,Kailash P. Bhatia +1 more
TL;DR: Phenotypic classification continues to be important to recognize particular forms of dystonia and this includes syndromic associations and there will be further new discoveries with the advances in genetic technologies such as exome and whole-genome sequencing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolated and combined dystonia syndromes – an update on new genes and their phenotypes
Bettina Balint,Kailash P. Bhatia +1 more
TL;DR: New genes are being recognized for isolated dystonia, and the phenotype of known genes is broadening and now involves different combined dystonic syndromes.
