Intermediate C9orf72 alleles in neurological disorders: does size really matter?
C9orf72 repeat expansions is a major cause of familial frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) worldwide. Sizes of <20 hexanucleotide repeats are observed in controls, while up to thousands associate with disease. Intermediate C9orf72 repeat lengths, however, remain uncertain. We systematically reviewed the role of intermediate C9orf72 alleles in C9orf72-related ne...
متن کاملAutoimmune Channelopathies and Related Neurological Disorders
Ion channels are crucial elements in neuronal signaling and synaptic transmission, and defects in their function are known to underlie rare genetic disorders, including some forms of epilepsy. A second class of channelopathies, characterized by autoantibodies against ligand- and voltage-gated ion channels, cause a variety of defects in peripheral neuromuscular and ganglionic transmission. There...
متن کاملmannose-binding lectin mediated complement pathway in autoimmune neurological disorders
multiple sclerosis (ms) is a complex, demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (cns) with variable phenotypic presentations, while guillain-barre syndrome (gbs) is the prototypic acute inflammatory disorder that affects the peripheral nervous system. myasthenia gravis (mg) is a t cell dependent and antibody mediated autoimmune disease. although it has been shown that complement plays...
متن کاملRecent Advances in the Treatment of Neurological Autoimmune Disorders
Autoimmune diseases are a complex group of diseases arising because of the breakdown of narrow margin that exists between the immunity and tolerance. In simpler terms either T or B-cells or both are activated in the absence of a progressive infection or any other noticeable cause (Davidson & Diamond, 2001). Unable to distinguish self from non self, the renegade immune cells pose a serious threa...
