Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of GFAP gene mutation in hereditary adult-onset Alexander's disease.

TL;DR: A novel missense mutation of a G‐to‐T transition at nucleotide 841 in the GFAP gene that results in the substitution of arginine for leucine at amino acid residue 276 (R276L) is found, suggesting a common molecular mechanism underlies the three Alexander's disease subtypes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Early-onset ataxia with ocular motor apraxia and hypoalbuminemia: The aprataxin gene mutations

TL;DR: Clinical heterogeneity in the patients with EAOH was found, including one insertion and two missense mutations including a novel missense one, which was located at a highly conserved amino acid residue in the aprataxin gene product.
Journal ArticleDOI

A homozygous mutation of C12orf65 causes spastic paraplegia with optic atrophy and neuropathy (SPG55)

TL;DR: This novel nonsense mutation in C12orf65 could cause AR-HSP with optic atrophy and neuropathy, resulting in a premature stop codon and dysfunction of mitochondrial translation could be one of the pathogenic mechanisms underlying HSPs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of a SACS gene missense mutation in ARSACS

TL;DR: The authors identified a homozygous missense mutation (T7492C) in the SACS gene, which resulted in the substitution of arginine for tryptophan at amino acid residue 2498 (W2498R).
