Evolution of Outcome Measures in Spinocerebellar Ataxias
To study the long-term evolution of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in the most common spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs), we analyzed 8 years follow-up data of the EUROSCA Natural History […]
The First Missense Pathogenic Variant in the KAT6A Gene
CENTOGENE published results of another successful collaborative study in the highly ranked Journal of Human Genetics titled: “A KAT6A variant in a family with autosomal dominantly inherited […]
Biallelic Inactivating Variants in the GTPBP2 Gene Cause a Neurodevelopmental Disorder with Severe Intellectual Disability
Congenital neurological disorders are genetically highly heterogeneous. Rare forms of hereditary neurological disorders are still difficult to be adequately diagnosed.
Expanding the Clinical and Genetic Spectra of NKX6-2-Related Disorder
Hypomyelinating leukodystrophies (HLDs) affect the white matter of the central nervous system, and manifest as neurological disorders. They are genetically heterogeneous. Very recently, biallelic […]
Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia Type 5: Natural History, Biomarkers and a Randomized Controlled Trial
Spastic paraplegia type 5 (SPG5) is a rare subtype of hereditary spastic paraplegia, a highly heterogeneous group of neurodegenerative disorders defined by progressive neurodegeneration of the […]
Assessment of Olfactory Function
Olfactory dysfunction is associated with normal aging, multiple neurodegenerative disorders, including Parkinson’s disease, Lewy body disease and Alzheimer’s disease, and other diseases such as […]
17q23.2q23.3 de Novo Duplication
Chromosomal rearrangements involving 17q23 have been described rarely. Deletions at 17q23.1q23.2 have been reported in individuals with developmental delay and growth retardation, whereas […]
Functional Characterization of Rare RAB12 Variants
Mutations in RAB (member of the Ras superfamily) genes are increasingly recognized as cause of a variety of disorders including neurological conditions. While musician's dystonia (MD) and writer's […]
Clinical and Genetic Characteristics of Sporadic Adult-Onset Degenerative Ataxia
The objective of this study is to define the clinical phenotype and natural history of sporadic adult-onset degenerative ataxia and to identify putative disease-causing mutations. The primary measure […]
