Marklund,Sabine Wyns,Vincent Thijs,Jörgen Andersson,Ingrid van Marion,Ammar Al-Chalabi,Stéphanie Bornes,Rhiannon Musson,Valerie K.

Morrison,Wim Robberecht,Christine Van Broeckhoven,Desire Collen,Peter M. Andersen,Peter Carmeliet +34 more
TL;DR: It is indicated that VEGF is a modifier of motoneuron degeneration in human ALS and unveil a therapeutic potential of Vegfa for stressed motoneurons in mice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deletions of the Heavy Neurofilament Subunit Tail in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Ammar Al-Chalabi,Peter M. Andersen,Peter Nilsson,Barry A. Chioza,Jörgen Andersson,C Russ,Christopher Shaw,John Powell,P. Nigel Leigh +8 more
TL;DR: Analysis of samples from two different populations and four novel NFH tail deletions, each involving a whole motif, strongly suggest that NFH motif deletions can be a primary event in ALS but that they are not common.
Journal ArticleDOI
No GGGGCC-hexanucleotide repeat expansion in C9ORF72 in parkinsonism patients in Sweden
Chizuru Akimoto,Lars Forsgren,Jan Linder,Anna Birve,Irene Backlund,Jörgen Andersson,Ann-Charloth Nilsson,Helena Alstermark,Peter M. Andersen +8 more
TL;DR: This GGGGCC-repeat expansion in C9ORF72 is not a cause of parkinsonism in the Swedish population, and there is no correlation between Parkinson's disease or atypical parkinsonistan and the size of the G GGGCC repeat expansion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Challenges in diagnosing normal pressure hydrocephalus: Evaluation of the diagnostic guidelines
TL;DR: Considerable discrepancies were found when diagnosing iNPH according to two international guidelines and a neurologist, respectively, and it is suggested a revision of the current guidelines, preferably into one common diagnostic system.
