Journal ArticleDOI

Frequency of the C9orf72 hexanucleotide repeat expansion in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia: a cross-sectional study

Elisa Majounie, +71 more
- 01 Apr 2012 - 
TL;DR: A common Mendelian genetic lesion in C9orf72 is implicated in many cases of sporadic and familial ALS and FTD, suggesting a one-off expansion occurring about 1500 years ago.
Journal ArticleDOI

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

Clinical characteristics of patients with familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis carrying the pathogenic GGGGCC hexanucleotide repeat expansion of C9ORF72.

TL;DR: The phenotype of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis cases carrying C9ORF72 hexanucleotide repeat expansions was described by providing a detailed clinical description of affected cases from representative multi-generational kindreds, and by analysing the age of onset, gender ratio and survival in a large cohort of patients with familial amyotroph lateral sclerosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Experimental conduction block induced by serum from a patient with anti‐GM1 antibodies

TL;DR: Increased titers of antibodies to GM1 ganglioside in humans are associated with lower motor neuron disease and predominantly motor neuropathy with or without conduction block, and the serum of a patient with anti‐GM1 antibodies was injected into rat sciatic nerve to investigate the possible mechanism.
