Genetics of essential tremor.
Essential tremor (ET), the cause of which remains poorly understood, is one of the most common neurological disorders. While environmental agents have been proposed to play a role, genetic factors are believed to contribute to its onset. Thus far, three gene loci (ETM1 on 3q13, ETM2 on 2p24.1 and a locus on 6p23) have been identified in patients and families with the disorder. In addition, a Se...
متن کاملTremor-correlated cortical activity in essential tremor.
BACKGROUND In patients with parkinsonian resting tremor, tremor-correlated activity in the contralateral sensorimotor cortex has been studied by both magnetoencephalography (MEG) and electroencephalography (EEG). In essential tremor, MEG failed to detect cortical involvement. The objective of this study was to investigate whether EEG recording can reveal tremor-correlated cortical activity in p...
متن کاملTremor in a Bassoonist: Tremor in Dystonia or Essential Tremor?
JMD Dear Editor, Tremor is a common clinical feature in dystonia. It can be seen in both affected and unaffected body parts in patients with dystonia. Clinically, it may not be easily distinguishable from essential tremor, currently defined as a bilateral, largely symmetric postural or kinetic tremor involving the hands and forearms that is visible and persistent, with an associated or isolated...
متن کاملEssential tremor
Methods Seventy-two patients with severe, medication-refractory essential tremor have been enrolled across seven international centers. Standard assessments of tremor severity and disability will be obtained before and after the procedure. Patients are randomized in a one-to-three fashion to receive either sham procedure or MR-guided focused ultrasound thalamotomy. The Tremor Research Group, ne...
متن کاملUnawareness of head tremor in essential tremor: a study of three samples of essential tremor patients.
To broadly sample ET in different settings, we selected cases from three settings: a tertiaryreferral center (largest sample),5 a population-based study in Manhattan,6 and a brain repository.7 As expected, cases differed in several respects (Table). Using the same clinical questionnaire, each case was asked whether he/she sometimes has a head tremor. A 20 minute videotaped tremor examination wa...
