Although coding variants in THAP1 have been causally associated with primary dystonia, the contribution of noncoding variants remains uncertain. Herein, we examine a previously identified Intron 1 variant (c.71+9C>A, rs200209986). Among 1672 subjects with mainly adult-onset primary dystonia, 12 harbored the variant in contrast to 1/1574 controls (P...
According to their similar clinical picture paroxysmal dyskinesias (PD) and epilepsy have been often misdiagnosed. The aim of the study was to highlight the importance of EEG as non-invasive methods in their diagnosis.
The study included 11 children with PD that are clinically, neurophysiological (EEG), neuroradiological (MRI) and molecular genetic...
Case report of a patient with Astrocytoma in parahippocampal region of the left hemisphere who developed schizophreniform psychosis after resection of the left temporal lobe. Mental and neurological status; Scale for positive and negative schizophrenic syndrome (PASS) assessment; MINI (Mini international neuropsychiatric interview, version 4.4; N s...
It is largely known that some antipsychotic agents could have proconvulsive and proepileptogenic effects in some patients and could induce EEG abnormalities as well. However, the association of status epilepticus with certain antipsychotic drugs has been very rarely reported.
A case of an 18-year-old adolescent girl, with chlorpromazine therapy sta...
Purpose: Proconvulsive and proepileptogenic effects of neuroleptics had been described a long ago. Based on the small number of studies it is estimated that patients treated with optimal therapeutic doses of commonly used neuroleptics significantly more frequently presented with transient EEG changes (7% of patients) in relation to the incidence of...
Recently, heterozygous mutations in PRRT2 (Chr 16p11.2) have been identified in Han Chinese, Japanese and Caucasians with paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia. In previous work, a paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia locus was mapped to Chr 16p11.2 - q11.2 in a multiplex African-American family.
Sanger sequencing was used to analyze all four PRRT2 exons...

X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (XALD) patients with
cerebral demyelination may present with epileptic seizures along with
the other symptoms of the disease. The aim of the study was to
evaluate epileptic seizures and electroencephalography (EEG) findings
in two most frequent cerebral XALD types: childhood cerebral
XALD (CCXALD) and adrenomyeloneurop...
X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy is a rare neurometabolic
peroxisomal disorder due to mutations in ABCD1 gene on Xq28 with excessive very-long-chain fatty acids accumulation, nervous
system demyelination, and impaired adrenocortical and testicular
function. For the X-linked recessive mode of inheritance, XALD primarily affects males at different ages....
An extensive variety of THAP1 sequence variants have been associated with focal, segmental and generalized dystonia with age of onset ranging from 3 to over 60 years. In previous work, we screened 1114 subjects with mainly adult-onset primary dystonia (Neurology 2010; 74:229-238) and identified 6 missense mutations in THAP1. For this report, we scr...
: Cervical dystonia, the most common form of focal
dystonia, is characterized by involuntary contractions of the neck
muscles producing abnormal posturing of the head upon the trunk.
Genetic factors are believed to play a major role in the pathogenesis
of adult-onset primary dystonia since 10–20% patients have one
or more affected family members. T...
The nature of some mental illness is such that persons affected by their conduct endangering life, health and safety, as well as life, health and safety of others from their surroundings. These persons, because of their mental condition, are often unable to properly assess their own interest. Because of the above it is permitted for these persons,...
The aim of this study was to describe the clinical features of a large Serbian family with paroxysmal nonkinesigenic dyskinesia (PNKD) and one of the two previously described mutations in the Myofibrillogenesis regulator 1 gene (MR-1), which causes an alanine-to-valine substitution at position 9. In 5 examined out of 12 affected family members, att...
The recent article by Chen et al1 caught our attention as a third study associating mutations in the myofibrillogenesis regulator 1 gene with paroxysmal nonkinesigenic dyskinesia (PNKD). Currently, a total of 12 kindreds with only 2 missense mutations (A7V and A9V) have been reported.1- 3 Family records were collected in various centers across the...
In a consecutive series of 169 outpatients with Parkinson's disease the frequency of depression was compared in two groups: those who developed Parkinson's disease before the age of 50, and those who developed the disease after 50. Major depression was found in 36% of patients with early onset and in 16% of patients with late onset Parkinson's dise...
The basal levels of prolactin (PRL) and their changes after i.v. thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) administration after bromocriptine (BCT) pretreatment (BCT/TRH test) were monitored in 12 patients with young-onset Parkinson's disease (PD) (before 40 years of age) and 10 patients with older-onset PD (after 40 years of age), as well as in two grou...
