Journal ArticleDOI

Moderate expansion of a normally biallelic trinucleotide repeat in spinocerebellar ataxia type 2

Stefan M. Pulst, +19 more
- 01 Nov 1996 - 
TL;DR: A CAG trinucleotide repeat with CAA interruptions that was expanded in patients with SCA2, which is a member of a novel gene family and not highly polymorphic in normal individuals is identified.
Journal ArticleDOI

Autosomal dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy. A distinctive clinical disorder.

Ingrid E. Scheffer, +9 more
- 01 Feb 1995 - 
TL;DR: A phenotypically homogeneous group of five families from Australia, Britain and Canada, containing 47 affected individuals, was studied, and it was shown that the attacks were partial seizures with frontal lobe seizure semiology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mutations in a gene encoding a novel protein tyrosine phosphatase cause progressive myoclonus epilepsy.

Berge A. Minassian, +18 more
- 01 Oct 1998 - 
TL;DR: A novel gene, EPM2A, is identified at chromosome 6q24 that encodes a protein with consensus amino acid sequence indicative of a protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) that is predicted to cause deleterious effects in the putative protein product, named laforin, resulting in Lafora's disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

MRI volumetric measurement of amygdala and hippocampus in temporal lobe epilepsy

Fernando Cendes, +10 more
- 01 Apr 1993 - 
TL;DR: MRI volumetric measurements of the amygdala, the hippocampal formation, and the anterior temporal lobe in a group of 30 patients with intractable temporal lobe epilepsy and in seven patients with extratemporal lobe foci showed lateralization of measurable atrophy consistent with that derived from extracranial and intracranial EEG examinations.
Journal ArticleDOI

The genetic architecture of the human cerebral cortex

Katrina L. Grasby, +359 more
- 20 Mar 2020 - 
TL;DR: Results support the radial unit hypothesis that different developmental mechanisms promote surface area expansion and increases in thickness and find evidence that brain structure is a key phenotype along the causal pathway that leads from genetic variation to differences in general cognitive function.
