Genome-wide Analyses Identify KIF5A as a Novel ALS Gene.

Aude Nicolas, +435 more
- 21 Mar 2018 - 
TL;DR: Interestingly, mutations predominantly in the N-terminal motor domain of KIF5A are causative for two neurodegenerative diseases: hereditary spastic paraplegia and Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 2.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pitfalls in electrodiagnosis of Guillain–Barré syndrome subtypes

TL;DR: Investigation of how serial recordings changed the classification of an Italian Guillain–Barré syndrome population into demyelinating and axonal subtypes found that axonal GBS is pathophysiologically characterised not only by axonal degeneration but also by reversible conduction failure at the axolemma of the Ranvier node.
Journal ArticleDOI

Acute motor conduction block neuropathy: Another Guillain-Barré syndrome variant

TL;DR: Acute motor neuropathy with normal or brisk tendon reflexes, conduction block, and fast recovery appears to be a variant of Guillain–Barré syndrome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Zinc dyshomeostasis: a key modulator of neuronal injury.

TL;DR: Multiple evidence suggest that modulation of intracellular and extracellular Zn2+ might be an important therapeutical target for the treatment of a vast array of neurological conditions ranging from stroke to Alzheimer's disease.
