Disease Characteristics of the First 100 Participants in the CurePSP Genetics Program Cohort
Objective: To increase our understanding of the pathogenesis of atypical parkinsonian disorders though genetics, and to build a cohort of individuals for future research. Background:…Analysis of the Association between SNCA Polymorphisms and the Risk of Multiple System Atrophy
Objective: To assess the impact of twenty-one single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located in different regulatory regions of the SNCA gene on the risk of developing…The Role of FGF14 GAA Repeat Expansions in Multiple System Atrophy: Frequency, Phenotypic Correlations, and Prognostic Implications
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the frequency of FGF14 GAA•TTC repeat expansion in clinically diagnosed and pathologically confirmed multiple system atrophy cases. Background: Partial…Pathogenic TBK1 Mutation Associated with Multiple System Atrophy-Like Phenotype
Objective: To report a novel case of an MSA-like phenotype in a patient with a pathogenic mutation in the TBK1 gene. Background: TANK-binding kinase 1…LRRK2 G2019S mutation in Multiple System Atrophy, a case report
Objective: Presenting a case of Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) confirmed by skin biopsy with a peculiar genetic profile. Background: MSA is a rare neurodegenerative disorder characterized…Heterozygous aprataxin gene mutation associated with atypical multiple system atrophy phenotype: a case report
Objective: We describe a 73-year old patient carrying a heterozygous mutation in aprataxin (APTX) gene presenting multiple system atrophy-parkinsonian variant (MSA-P). Background: Ataxia with oculomotor…Mosaicism for somatic SNCA copy number variants in multiple system atrophy is related to pathological subtype and presence of α-synuclein inclusions
Objective: To investigate the correlation of somatic copy number variants (CNVs) of the alpha-synuclein gene (SNCA) in multiple system atrophy (MSA) with disease subtype, and…The Lion’s tail family: A Bavarian multiplex pedigree with pathologically confirmed multiple system atrophy and Parkinson’s disease with dementia
Objective: To characterize a North-Bavarian (Lion’s tail region) six-generation pedigree, including neuropathologically confirmed multiple system atrophy and Parkinson’s disease with dementia. Background: Multiple system atrophy…A clinico-genetic study based on the Innsbruck MSA Registry
Objective: To assess family history (FH) for neurodegenerative disorders in people with multiple system atrophy (MSA), compare its prevalence with that of a prospectively recruited…Myelination relevant plasma microRNA biomarkers identified via an innovative data analytic scheme for differential diagnosis of MSA, an Oligodendroglial Synucleinopathy
Objective: To establish an inclusive data analytic scheme to identify and characterize plasma microRNA biomarkers with pathophysiological significance for differentiating the atypical Parkinsonian, Multiple System…
