DOI: 10.1001/jamaneurol.2017.0055
Abstract: A 50-year old man presented for evaluation of progressive gait ataxia with a superimposed spastic paraparesis. During his clinic visit, he was also observed to have slow and limited eye movements. In this article, we… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/acn3.52024
Abstract: Voluntary upper limb movements are an ecologically important yet insufficiently explored digital‐motor outcome domain for trials in degenerative ataxia. We extended and validated the trial‐ready quantitative motor assessment battery “Q‐Motor” for upper limb movements with… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ana.26311
Abstract: MT-ATP6-associated disease is caused by mutations in the mitochondrial gene MT-ATP6, encoding a subunit of the ATP synthase complex. Clinically, MT-ATP6 mutations were first associated with a syndrome combining neuropathy, ataxia, and retinitis pigmentosa (NARP… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ana.26366
Abstract: OBJECTIVE Dominant spinocerebellar ataxias (SCA) are characterized by genetic heterogeneity. Some mapped and named loci remain without a causal gene identified. Here we applied next generation sequencing (NGS) to uncover the genetic etiology of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ana.26712
Abstract: OBJECTIVE The Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA) is the most widely applied clinical outcome assessment (COA) for genetic ataxias, but presents metrological and regulatory challenges. To facilitate trial planning, we characterize… read more here.

Biallelic Truncating Variants in SCN3B Encoding Nav Channel Subunit β3 Lead to Neurodevelopmental Phenotype with and without Epilepsy and Ataxia
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Annals of Neurology"
DOI: 10.1002/ana.78014
Abstract: SCN3B encodes the β3 auxiliary subunit, essential for voltage‐gated Na+ (Nav) channel trafficking and gating. Although SCN3B has been associated with cardiac disorders, a link with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD) has not been established. Using a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/hbm.23655
Abstract: Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA) is the most common autosomal‐recessive ataxia worldwide. It is characterized by early onset, sensory abnormalities, and slowly progressive ataxia. However, some individuals manifest the disease after the age of 25 years and… read more here.
