Olfactory dysfunction in Parkinsonism caused by PINK1 mutations.
Hyposmia is a common nonmotor feature of Parkinson's disease (PD) and has been variably detected in monogenic Parkinsonisms. To assess olfactory dysfunction in PINK1-related Parkinsonism, we evaluated olfactory detection threshold, odor discrimination, and odor identification in five groups of subjects: sporadic PD (n = 19), PINK1 homozygous (n = 7), and heterozygous (n = 6) parkinsonian patien...
متن کاملAutonomic ganglia, acetylcholine receptor antibodies, and autoimmune ganglionopathy.
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (AChR) are ligand-gated cation channels that are present throughout the nervous system. The ganglionic (alpha3-type) neuronal AChR mediates fast synaptic transmission in sympathetic, parasympathetic and enteric autonomic ganglia. Autonomic ganglia are an important site of neural integration and regulation of autonomic reflexes. Impaired cholinergic ganglionic s...
متن کاملMutations of the skeletal muscle acetylcholine receptor
Neurology 2012;79:404–405 The skeletal muscle acetylcholine receptor (AChR) is a beautifully functional molecular complex made up of 5 subunits. Acetylcholine binding initiates pore opening, producing the endplate current (EPC); the resulting action potentials travel over the muscle surface and into the transverse tubules, initiating contraction via calcium (Ca ) release from the sarcoplasmic r...
متن کاملAutonomic nerve dysfunction in COPD as assessed by the acetylcholine sweat-spot test.
Patients with hypoxic chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have evidence of a subclinical parasympathetic autonomic neuropathy, with apparent preservation of sympathetic function. However, these cardiovascular-respiratory tests might have been biased by concomitant chest disease, the acetylcholine sweat-spot test avoids this bias. This sweat-spot test assesses sympathetic nerve function...
متن کاملNeonatal Diabetes Caused by Activating Mutations in the Sulphonylurea Receptor
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels in pancreatic β-cells play a crucial role in insulin secretion and glucose homeostasis. These channels are composed of two subunits: a pore-forming subunit (Kir6.2) and a regulatory subunit (sulphonylurea receptor-1). Recent studies identified large number of gain of function mutations in the regulatory subunit of the channel whic...
