Journal ArticleDOI
Haploinsufficiency of ATP1A2 encoding the Na+/K+ pump alpha2 subunit associated with familial hemiplegic migraine type 2.
Maurizio De Fusco,Roberto Marconi,Laura Silvestri,Luigia Atorino,Luca Rampoldi,Letterio Morgante,Andrea Ballabio,Paolo Aridon,Giorgio Casari +8 more
TL;DR: Results show that mutations in the gene ATP1A2 that encodes the α2 subunit of the Na+/K+ pump are associated with familial hemiplegic migraine type 2 (FHM2) linked to chromosome 1q23 (OMIM 602481).
Journal ArticleDOI
Autosomal dominant restless legs syndrome maps on chromosome 14q.
Maria Teresa Bonati,Luigi Ferini-Strambi,Paolo Aridon,Alessandro Oldani,Marco Zucconi,Giorgio Casari +5 more
TL;DR: Significant evidence is shown of linkage to a new locus for RLS on chromosome 14q13-21 region in a 30-member, three-generation Italian family affected by RLS and periodic leg movements in sleep (PLMS), the second RLS locus identified so far and the first consistent with an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased Sensitivity of the Neuronal Nicotinic Receptor α2 Subunit Causes Familial Epilepsy with Nocturnal Wandering and Ictal Fear
Paolo Aridon,Carla Marini,Chiara Di Resta,Elisa Brilli,Maurizio De Fusco,Fausta Politi,Elena Parrini,Irene Manfredi,Tiziana Pisano,Dario Pruna,Giulia Curia,Carlo Cianchetti,Massimo Pasqualetti,Andrea Becchetti,Renzo Guerrini,Giorgio Casari +15 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a new locus for familial sleep-related focal epilepsy on chromosome 8p12.3-8q12.4 was identified, which is associated with mutations of the α4 and β2 subunits of the neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk of Parkinson disease in women: Effect of reproductive characteristics
Paolo Ragonese,Marco D'Amelio,Giuseppe Salemi,Paolo Aridon,Matilde Gammino,A. Epifanio,Letterio Morgante,Giovanni Savettieri +7 more
TL;DR: An association between factors reducing estrogen stimulation during life and PD was found, and the hypothesis that endogenous estrogens play a role in the development of PD is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Autosomal recessive Rolandic epilepsy with paroxysmal exercise-induced dystonia and writer's cramp : Delineation of the syndrome and gene mapping to chromosome 16p12-11.2
Renzo Guerrini,Paolo Bonanni,Nardo Nardocci,Lucio Parmeggiani,Massimo Piccirilli,Maurizio De Fusco,Paolo Aridon,Andrea Ballabio,Romeo Carrozzo,Giorgio Casari +9 more
TL;DR: It is shown that idiopathic focal disorders such as epilepsy and dystonia, can be caused by the same genetic abnormality, may have a transient expression, and may be inherited as an autosomal recessive trait.
