Journal ArticleDOI
No evidence for a role of rare CYP27B1 variants in Austrian multiple sclerosis patients.
Eva M. Reinthaler,Gerrit Machetanz,Christoph Hotzy,Markus Reindl,Franz Fazekas,Wolfgang Kristoferitsch,Thomas Berger,Christiane Schmied,Alexander Zimprich +8 more
TL;DR: The data do not support a major role for rare CYP27B1 variants in the etiology of MS and the ability to identify rare variants is challenged given the limited power of the sample size investigated in the present study.
Book ChapterDOI
Longitudinal change of white matter abnormalities
Reinhold Schmidt,Gudrun Roob,Peter Kapeller,Helena Schmidt,Andrea Berghold,Anita Lechner,Franz Fazekas +6 more
TL;DR: A three year follow-up of 273 participants of the Austrian Stroke Prevention Study provides first information on the rate, clinical predictors, and cognitive consequences of MRI white matter hyperintensity in elderly individuals without neuropsychiatric disease.
Journal Article
Cerebral ischemia and Alzheimer's disease : Critical role of PET and implications for therapeutic intervention
TL;DR: This work has found that the presence of certain otherwise normal alA-eles may, when present in critical combination, effectively function as disease-modifying (or perhaps disease-causing) genes in patients with probable AD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Community acquired Staphylococcus aureus meningitis and cerebral abscesses in a patient with a hyper-IgE and a Dubowitz-like syndrome.
Markus Beitzke,Christian Enzinger,Christian Windpassinger,Dietmar Pfeifer,Franz Fazekas,Cristina Woellner,Bodo Grimbacher,Peter M. Kroisel +7 more
TL;DR: The observation adds community acquired S. aureus meningitis and cerebral abscesses acquired in the community in a 31-year-old female patient with a de novo heterozygous mutation of STAT3 and a Dubowitz-like syndrome should also raise awareness for the unusual clinical presentation of severe neuroinfection in this syndrome.
Journal ArticleDOI
A search for new MRI criteria for dissemination in space in subjects with a clinically isolated syndrome
T Korteweg,Mar Tintoré,B.M.J. Uitdehaag,Dirk L. Knol,Hugo Vrenken,Ana Rovira,Jette L. Frederiksen,David Miller,K Fernando,Massimo Filippi,Federica Agosta,Maria A. Rocca,Franz Fazekas,Christian Enzinger,Allyson Parry,Chris H. Polman,Xavier Montalban,Frederik Barkhof +17 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used lesion characteristics at onset from 349 clinically isolated syndromes in logistic regression and recursive partitioning modelling in a search for simpler and more sensitive criteria, while maintaining current specificity.
