Noncoding CGG repeat expansions in neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease, oculopharyngodistal myopathy and an overlapping disease.

TL;DR: Whole-genome sequencing identifies noncoding CGG repeat expansions in neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease, oculopharyngodistal myopathy and Oculopharyngealmyopathy with leukoencephalopathy, three disorders with overlapping clinical features and neuroimaging findings.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expansions of intronic TTTCA and TTTTA repeats in benign adult familial myoclonic epilepsy.

TL;DR: It is shown that abnormal expansions of TTTCA and TTTTA repeats in intron 4 of SAMD12 cause benign adult familial myoclonic epilepsy (BAFME), and RNA toxicity as the mechanism underlying disease pathogenesis is identified.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular epidemiological study of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in Japanese population by whole-exome sequencing and identification of novel HNRNPA1 mutation.

TL;DR: A novel c.862/1018C>G (p.P288A/340A) mutation in HNRNPA1 located in the nuclear localization signal domain of hnRNPA1, enhances the recruitment of mutant hn RNPA1 into stress granules, indicating that an alterednuclear localization signal activity plays an essential role in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis pathogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lateral-Medial Dissociation in Orbitofrontal Cortex-Hypothalamus Connectivity.

TL;DR: A functional double dissociation is found in the OFC: the lateral OFC (the lateral orbital gyrus) was more likely connected with the lateral hypothalamus, whereas the medial OFC(the medial orbital and rectal gyri)was more likelyconnected with the medial hypothalamus.
