AbstractCharcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is a heterogeneous set of hereditary neuropathies whose genetic causes are not fully understood. Here, we characterize three previously unknown variants in PMP22 and assess their effect on the recently described potential CMT biomarkers’ growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) and neurofilament l...... hiện toàn bộ
Increased presence of nuclear DNAJA3 and upregulation of cytosolic STAT1 and of nucleic acid sensors trigger innate immunity in the ClpP-null mouseNeurogenetics - Tập 22 Số 4 - Trang 297-312 - 2021

AbstractMitochondrial dysfunction may activate innate immunity, e.g. upon abnormal handling of mitochondrial DNA in TFAM mutants or in altered mitophagy. Recent reports showed that also deletion of mitochondrial matrix peptidase ClpP in mice triggers transcriptional upregulation of inflammatory factors. Here, we studied ClpP-null mouse brain at two ages and mouse e...... hiện toàn bộ
Rediscovery of the case described by Alois Alzheimer in 1911: historical, histological and molecular genetic analysisNeurogenetics - Tập 1 - Trang 73-80 - 1997

In 1911, Alois Alzheimer published a detailed report (Zbl. ges. Neurol. Psych. 4: 356–385) on a peculiar case of the disease that had been named after him by Emil Kraepelin in 1910. Alzheimer describes a 56-year-old male patient (Johann F.) who suffered from presenile dementia and who was hospitalized in Kraepelin's clinic for more than 3 years. Post-mortem examination of the patient's brain reve...... hiện toàn bộ
VPS53 gene is associated with a new phenotype of complicated hereditary spastic paraparesisNeurogenetics - Tập 20 - Trang 187-195 - 2019

Hereditary spastic paraparesis (HSP) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder, characterized by progressive lower limb weakness and spasticity. Multiple genes are associated with both the pure and complicated HSP types. Our study is aimed at seeking for novel genetic basis of HSP in a family with two affected siblings. Genetic analysis using whole exome sequencing was conducted in a family quar...... hiện toàn bộ
Distinct DNA binding and transcriptional repression characteristics related to different ARX mutationsNeurogenetics - Tập 13 - Trang 23-29 - 2012

Mutations in the Aristaless-related homeobox gene (ARX) are associated with a wide variety of neurologic disorders including lissencephaly, hydrocephaly, West syndrome, Partington syndrome, and X-linked intellectual disability with or without epilepsy. A genotype–phenotype correlation exists for ARX mutations; however, the molecular basis for this association has not been investigated. To begin un...... hiện toàn bộ
Comprehensive association analysis of APOE regulatory region polymorphisms in Alzheimer diseaseNeurogenetics - Tập 5 - Trang 201-208 - 2004

Several recent case-control studies have examined the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the promoter region of the apolipoprotein E gene (APOE) and risk of Alzheimer disease (AD), with conflicting results. We assessed the relation between five APOE region SNPs and risk of AD in both case-control and family-based analyses. We observed a statistically significant associat...... hiện toàn bộ

Ataxia with oculomotor apraxia type1 (AOA1): novel and recurrent aprataxin mutations, coenzyme Q10 analyses, and clinical findings in Italian patientsNeurogenetics - Tập 12 - Trang 193-201 - 2011

Ataxia with oculomotor apraxia type1 (AOA1, MIM 208920) is a rare autosomal recessive disease caused by mutations in the APTX gene. We screened a cohort of 204 patients with cerebellar ataxia and 52 patients with early-onset isolated chorea. APTX gene mutations were found in 13 ataxic patients (6%). Eleven patients were homozygous for the known p.W279X, p.W279R, and p.P206L mutations. Three novel ...... hiện toàn bộ
