Objective: To present a patient with homozygous mutation in Receptor Expression-Enhancing Protein 1 (REEP1) gene manifesting a severe congenital Distal spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) with…Inherited neuromyotonia associated with a dominant-negative KCNQ2 mutation
Objective: To report the phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of a Taiwanese family with inherited neuromyotonia associated with KCNQ2 mutation. Background: Neuromyotonia is a disorder of…Management of chronic polyneuropathy associated with levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel infusion in Parkinson’s disease: Review of the strategies and perspectives
Objective: (1) To make an inventory of the current strategies used to treat or prevent the occurrence of chronic polyneuropathy (CPN) in patients with Parkinson’s…Motor speech and swallowing phenotype of Autosomal Recessive Spastic Ataxia of Charlevoix-Saguenay (ARSACS)
