TL;DR: The scale proposed involves a compartimentalized quantification of postural and stance disorders, limb ataxia, dysarthria and oculomotor disorders, in order that a subscore concerning these symptoms may be separately studied.

TL;DR: The length of FA alleles ranged from 201 to 1,186 repeat units, with no overlap with the normal range, and showed a negatively skewed distribution with a peak between 800 and 1,000 repeats, and the FA repeat showed meiotic instability with a median variation of 150 repeats.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the prevalence of Parkinson's disease is of uneven distribution within rural areas and the characteristics of the regions of high prevalence were also the areas with the highest use of pesticides.

TL;DR: A case‐control study in southern Italy suggests a strong role of the genetic factors in the etiology of Parkinson's disease and a unilateral distribution of ancestral secondary cases on the paternal or on the maternal side, which suggests a dominant inheritance.

TL;DR: It is concluded that "late onset" Friedreich's disease is milder than the "typical" form and that it maps to the same locus on chromosome 9.
