Journal ArticleDOI

Extensive molecular genetic survey of Taiwanese patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

TL;DR: The frequency and spectrum of mutations in major ALS-causing genes in a Taiwanese ALS cohort of Han Chinese origin are determined and are indispensable for designing optimal strategies of mutational analysis and genetic counseling of ALS for patients of Chinese origin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Depletion of mitochondrial DNA in leukocytes of patients with poly-Q diseases.

TL;DR: It is suggested that leukocyte mtDNA content correlates with the length of GAG repeat and may serve as an index of the severity of poly-Q diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dysregulated brain creatine kinase is associated with hearing impairment in mouse models of Huntington disease

TL;DR: Data suggest that creatine may be useful for treating the hearing abnormalities of patients with HD, and treatment with creatine supplements ameliorated the hearing impairment of HD mice, suggesting that the impaired PCr-CK system in the cochlea ofHD mice may contribute to their hearing impairment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expression of the germ cell alkaline phosphatase gene in human choriocarcinoma cells.

TL;DR: In this paper, the structures of the internal exons (II-X) of the germ cell ALP gene were determined previously based on their similarity to the placental ALP gene.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regional patterns of cerebral glucose metabolism in spinocerebellar ataxia type 2, 3 and 6 : a voxel-based FDG-positron emission tomography analysis.

TL;DR: While all SCAs have impaired cerebellar functions, the Cerebellar FDG metabolism was most severely compromised in SCA2, and the FDGs metabolism in the lentiform nucleus and medulla was characteristically worst inSCA3, while there was no brainstem involvement in SC a6.
