Ataxia
Impairment of the ability to perform smoothly coordinated voluntary movements. This condition may affect the limbs, trunk, eyes, pharynx, larynx, and other structures. Ataxia may result from impaired sensory or motor function. Sensory ataxia may result from posterior column injury or PERIPHERAL NERVE DISEASES. Motor ataxia may be associated with CEREBELLAR DISEASES; CEREBRAL CORTEX diseases; THALAMIC DISEASES; BASAL GANGLIA DISEASES; injury to the RED NUCLEUS; and other conditions.
Cerebellar Ataxia
Incoordination of voluntary movements that occur as a manifestation of CEREBELLAR DISEASES. Characteristic features include a tendency for limb movements to overshoot or undershoot a target (dysmetria), a tremor that occurs during attempted movements (intention TREMOR), impaired force and rhythm of diadochokinesis (rapidly alternating movements), and GAIT ATAXIA. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p90)
Friedreich Ataxia
An autosomal recessive disease, usually of childhood onset, characterized pathologically by degeneration of the spinocerebellar tracts, posterior columns, and to a lesser extent the corticospinal tracts. Clinical manifestations include GAIT ATAXIA, pes cavus, speech impairment, lateral curvature of spine, rhythmic head tremor, kyphoscoliosis, congestive heart failure (secondary to a cardiomyopathy), and lower extremity weakness. Most forms of this condition are associated with a mutation in a gene on chromosome 9, at band q13, which codes for the mitochondrial protein frataxin. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1081; N Engl J Med 1996 Oct 17;335(16):1169-75) The severity of Friedreich ataxia associated with expansion of GAA repeats in the first intron of the frataxin gene correlates with the number of trinucleotide repeats. (From Durr et al, N Engl J Med 1996 Oct 17;335(16):1169-75)
Spinocerebellar Ataxias

Progressive ataxia is a central feature of these conditions, and in certain subtypes POLYNEUROPATHY; DYSARTHRIA; visual loss; and other disorders may develop. (From Joynt, Clinical Neurology, 1997, Ch65, pp 12-17; J Neuropathol Exp Neurol 1998 Jun;57(6):531-43)
Gait Ataxia

Affected individuals are prone to recurrent sinobronchopulmonary infections, lymphoreticular neoplasms, and other malignancies. Serum ALPHA-FETOPROTEINS are usually elevated. (Menkes, Textbook of Child Neurology, 5th ed, p688) The gene for this disorder (ATM) encodes a cell cycle checkpoint protein kinase and has been mapped to chromosome 11 (11q22-q23).
Ataxia Telangiectasia Mutated Proteins

Clinical features include progressive ataxia, DYSARTHRIA, postural instability, nystagmus, eyelid retraction, and facial FASCICULATIONS. DYSTONIA is prominent in younger patients (referred to as Type I Machado-Joseph Disease). Type II features ataxia and ocular signs; Type III features MUSCULAR ATROPHY and a sensorimotor neuropathy; and Type IV features extrapyramidal signs combined with a sensorimotor neuropathy.

Ocular Motility Disorders
Disorders that feature impairment of eye movements as a primary manifestation of disease. These conditions may be divided into infranuclear, nuclear, and supranuclear disorders. Diseases of the eye muscles or oculomotor cranial nerves (III, IV, and VI) are considered infranuclear. Nuclear disorders are caused by disease of the oculomotor, trochlear, or abducens nuclei in the BRAIN STEM. Supranuclear disorders are produced by dysfunction of higher order sensory and motor systems that control eye movements, including neural networks in the CEREBRAL CORTEX; BASAL GANGLIA; CEREBELLUM; and BRAIN STEM. Ocular torticollis refers to a head tilt that is caused by an ocular misalignment. Opsoclonus refers to rapid, conjugate oscillations of the eyes in multiple directions, which may occur as a parainfectious or paraneoplastic condition (e.g., OPSOCLONUS-MYOCLONUS SYNDROME).

The two major subtypes of this condition are ideomotor (see APRAXIA, IDEOMOTOR) and ideational apraxia, which refers to loss of the ability to mentally formulate the processes involved with performing an action. For example, dressing apraxia may result from an inability to mentally formulate the act of placing clothes on the body. Apraxias are generally associated with lesions of the dominant PARIETAL LOBE and supramarginal gyrus. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp56-7)

These deviations may be caused by physical or chemical agents and occur by natural or unnatural, introduced circumstances. They include the introduction of illegitimate bases during replication or by deamination or other modification of bases; the loss of a base from the DNA backbone leaving an abasic site; single-strand breaks; double strand breaks; and intrastrand (PYRIMIDINE DIMERS) or interstrand crosslinking. Damage can often be repaired (DNA REPAIR). If the damage is extensive, it can induce APOPTOSIS.
Myoclonic Cerebellar Dyssynergia
A condition marked by progressive CEREBELLAR ATAXIA combined with MYOCLONUS usually presenting in the third decade of life or later. Additional clinical features may include generalized and focal SEIZURES, spasticity, and DYSKINESIAS. Autosomal recessive and autosomal dominant patterns of inheritance have been reported. Pathologically, the dentate nucleus and brachium conjunctivum of the CEREBELLUM are atrophic, with variable involvement of the spinal cord, cerebellar cortex, and basal ganglia. (From Joynt, Clinical Neurology, 1991, Ch37, pp60-1)
Nystagmus, Pathologic
Involuntary movements of the eye that are divided into two types, jerk and pendular. Jerk nystagmus has a slow phase in one direction followed by a corrective fast phase in the opposite direction, and is usually caused by central or peripheral vestibular dysfunction. Pendular nystagmus features oscillations that are of equal velocity in both directions and this condition is often associated with visual loss early in life.

The major repair mechanisms are excision repair, in which defective regions in one strand are excised and resynthesized using the complementary base pairing information in the intact strand; photoreactivation repair, in which the lethal and mutagenic effects of ultraviolet light are eliminated; and post-replication repair, in which the primary lesions are not repaired, but the gaps in one daughter duplex are filled in by incorporation of portions of the other (undamaged) daughter duplex. Excision repair and post-replication repair are sometimes referred to as "dark repair" because they do not require light.

The pathology is characteristic of neurodegenerative diseases. Often the process of nerve degeneration is studied in research on neuroanatomical localization and correlation of the neurophysiology of neural pathways.
Fasciculation
Involuntary contraction of the muscle fibers innervated by a motor unit. Fasciculations can often by visualized and take the form of a muscle twitch or dimpling under the skin, but usually do not generate sufficient force to move a limb. They may represent a benign condition or occur as a manifestation of MOTOR NEURON DISEASE or PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DISEASES. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1294)
Miller Fisher Syndrome
A variant of the GUILLAIN-BARRE SYNDROME characterized by the acute onset of oculomotor dysfunction, ataxia, and loss of deep tendon reflexes with relative sparing of strength in the extremities and trunk. The ataxia is produced by peripheral sensory nerve dysfunction and not by cerebellar injury. Facial weakness and sensory loss may also occur. The process is mediated by autoantibodies directed against a component of myelin found in peripheral nerves. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1313; Neurology 1987 Sep;37(9):1493-8)

Ataxia, ocular telangiectasia, chromosome instability, and Langerhans cell histiocytosis in a patient with an unknown breakage syndrome. (1/764)

An 8 year old boy who had Langerhans cell histiocytosis when he was 15 months old showed psychomotor regression from the age of 2 years. Microcephaly, severe growth deficiency, and ocular telangiectasia were also evident. Magnetic nuclear resonance imaging showed cerebellar atrophy. Alphafetoprotein was increased. Chromosome instability after x irradiation and rearrangements involving chromosome 7 were found. Molecular study failed to show mutations involving the ataxia-telangiectasia gene. This patient has a clinical picture which is difficult to relate to a known breakage syndrome. Also, the relationship between the clinical phenotype and histiocytosis is unclear.  (+info)

Biological activity of netilmicin, a broad-spectrum semisynthetic aminoglycoside antibiotic. (2/764)

Netilmicin (Sch 20569) is a new broad-spectrum semisynthetic aminoglycoside derived from sisomicin. Netilmicin was compared to gentamicin, tobramycin, and amikacin in a variety of in vitro test systems as well as in mouse protection tests. Netilmicin was found to be similar in activity to gentamicin against aminoglycoside-susceptible strains in both in vitro and in vivo tests. Netilmicin was also active against many aminoglycoside-resistant strains of gram-negative bacteria, particularly those known to possess adenylating enzymes (ANT 2') or those with a similar resistance pattern. Netilmicin was found to be markedly less toxic than gentamicin in chronic studies in cats, although gentamicin appeared less toxic in acute toxicity tests in mice. The concentrations of netilmicin and gentamicin in serum were compared in dogs after intramuscular dosing, and the pharmacokinetics including peak concentrations in serum were found to be similar.  (+info)

Targeted disruption of the murine Nhe1 locus induces ataxia, growth retardation, and seizures. (3/764)

In most cells, the ubiquitously expressed Na+/H+ exchanger isoform 1 (NHE1) is thought to be a primary regulator of pH homeostasis, cell volume regulation, and the proliferative response to growth factor stimulation. To study the function of NHE1 during embryogenesis when these cellular processes are very active, we targeted the Nhe1 gene by replacing the sequence encoding transmembrane domains 6 and 7 with the neomycin resistance gene. NHE activity assays on isolated acinar cells indicated that the targeted allele is functionally null. Although the absence of NHE1 is compatible with embryogenesis, Nhe1 homozygous mutants (-/-) exhibit a decreased rate of postnatal growth that is first evident at 2 wk of age. At this time, Nhe1 -/- animals also begin to exhibit ataxia and epileptic-like seizures. Approximately 67% of the -/- mutants die before weaning. Postmortem examinations frequently revealed an accumulation of a waxy particulate material inside the ears, around the eyes and chin, and on the ventral surface of the paws. Histological analysis of adult tissues revealed a thickening of the lamina propria and a slightly atrophic glandular mucosa in the stomach.  (+info)

Anticonvulsant efficacy of N-methyl-D-aspartate antagonists against convulsions induced by cocaine. (4/764)

Convulsions associated with cocaine abuse can be life threatening and resistant to standard emergency treatment. Cocaine (75 mg/kg, i. p.) produced clonic convulsions in approximately 90% of male, Swiss-Webster mice. A variety of clinically used antiepileptic agents did not significantly protect against cocaine convulsions (e. g., diazepam and phenobarbital). Anticonvulsants in clinical practice that did significantly protect against convulsion did so only at doses with significant sedative/ataxic effects (e.g., clonazepam and valproic acid). In contrast, functional N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) antagonists all produced dose-dependent and significant protection against the convulsant effects of cocaine. Anticonvulsant efficacy was achieved by blockade of both competitive and noncompetitive modulatory sites on the NMDA receptor complex. Thus, competitive antagonists, ion-channel blockers, polyamine antagonists, and functional blockers of the strychnine-insensitive glycine modulatory site all prevented cocaine seizures. The role of NMDA receptors in the control of cocaine-induced convulsions was further strengthened by the positive correlation between the potencies of noncompetititve antagonists or competitive antagonists to block convulsions and their respective affinities for their specific binding sites on the NMDA receptor complex. Although some NMDA blockers produced profound behavioral side effects at efficacious doses (e.g., noncompetitive antagonists), others (e.g., some low-affinity channel blockers, some competitive antagonists, and glycine antagonists) demonstrated significant and favorable separation between their anticonvulsant and side effect profiles. The present results provide the most extensive evidence to date identifying NMDA receptor blockade as a potential strategy for the discovery of agents for clinical use in averting toxic sequelae from cocaine overdose. Given the literature suggesting a role for these drugs in other areas of drug abuse treatments, NMDA receptor antagonists sit in a unique position as potential therapeutic candidates.  (+info)

Neurotoxicity and behavioral effects of thiram in rats. (5/764)

Eight of 24 female rats fed 66.9 mg/kg-day of thiram developed neurotoxicity. The neurotoxic effects were characterized by ataxia and paralysis of the hind legs. There were demyelination, degeneration of the axis cylinders, and presence of macrophages in the nerve bundle of the sciatic nerve. Degeneration in the ventral horn of the lower lumbar region of the spinal cord was evidenced by chromatolysis of motorneurons, pyknosis, and satellitosis. During a second experiment, 4 of 24 females fed 65.8 mg/kg--day also developed ataxia and paralysis. An additional 9 females showed clasping of the hind feet when picked up by the tail. Nerve conduction could not be measured for one severely ataxic rat and the electromyogram indicated a loss of motor unit function. Histopathology of this rat, along with the others, suggests the peripheral nerve as the primary site of the lesion. Thiram also caused behavioral changes in apparently normal rats. The walking pattern of the hind legs was altered with decreases in stride width and the angle between contralateral steps. These rats required significantly more shock-motivations and cleared a lower height in a jump/climb ability test. An open-field study indicated that thiram caused hyperactivity in the nonataxic rats of both sexes. Three of 24 rats fed 95.8 mg/kg-day of ferbam also developed ataxia or paralysis.  (+info)

A lysosomal storage disease induced by Ipomoea carnea in goats in Mozambique. (6/764)

A novel plant-induced lysosomal storage disease was observed in goats from a village in Mozambique. Affected animals were ataxic, with head tremors and nystagmus. Because of a lack of suitable feed, the animals consumed an exotic hedge plant growing in the village that was identified as Ipomoea carnea (shrubby morning glory, Convolvulaceae). The toxicosis was reproduced by feeding I. carnea plant material to goats. In acute cases, histologic changes in the brain and spinal cord comprised widespread cytoplasmic vacuolation of neurons and glial cells in association with axonal spheroid formation. Ultrastructurally, cytoplasmic storage vacuoles in neurons were membrane bound and consistent with lysosomes. Cytoplasmic vacuolation was also found in neurons in the submucosal and mesenteric plexuses in the small intestine, in renal tubular epithelial cells, and in macrophage-phagocytic cells in the spleen and lymph nodes in acute cases. Residual alterations in the brain in chronic cases revealed predominantly cerebellar lesions characterized by loss of Purkinje neurons and gliosis of the Purkinje cell layer. Analysis of I. carnea plant material by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry established the presence of the mannosidase inhibitor swainsonine and 2 glycosidase inhibitors, calystegine B2 and calystegine C1, consistent with a plant-induced alpha-mannosidosis in the goats. The described storage disorder is analogous to the lysosomal storage diseases induced by ingestion of locoweeds (Astragalus and Oxytropis) and poison peas (Swainsona).  (+info)

A novel mutation in the human voltage-gated potassium channel gene (Kv1.1) associates with episodic ataxia type 1 and sometimes with partial epilepsy. (7/764)

Episodic ataxia type 1 (EA1) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by brief episodes of ataxia associated with continuous interattack myokymia. Point mutations in the human voltage-gated potassium channel (Kv1.1) gene on chromosome 12p13 have recently been shown to associate with EA1. A Scottish family with EA1 harbouring a novel mutation in this gene is reported. Of the five affected individuals over three generations, two had partial epilepsy in addition to EA1. The detailed clinical, electrophysiological and molecular genetic findings are presented. The heterozygous point mutation is located at nucleotide position 677 and results in a radical amino acid substitution at a highly conserved position in the second transmembrane domain of the potassium channel. Functional studies indicated that mutant subunits exhibited a dominant negative effect on potassium channel function and would be predicted to impair neuronal repolarization. Potassium channels determine the excitability of neurons and blocking drugs are proconvulsant. A critical review of previously reported EA1 families shows an over-representation of epilepsy in family members with EA1 compared with unaffected members. These observations indicate that this mutation is pathogenic and suggest that the epilepsy in EA1 may be caused by the dysfunctional potassium channel. It is possible that such dysfunction may be relevant to other epilepsies in man.  (+info)

Neurotoxic effects of 2,5-hexanedione on normal and neurofilament-deficient quail. (8/764)

The neurotoxic effects of 2,5-hexanedione (2,5-HD) were investigated using neurofilament (NF)-deficient (Quv) Japanese quail in comparison with normal Japanese quail. Both Quv and normal Japanese quail were inoculated intraperitoneally with 350 mg/kg/day 2,5-HD for 6 consecutive wk. The results of 2,5-HD exposure differed substantially between the 2 strains of Japanese quail. The 2,5-HD-exposed normal quail showed leg paralysis about 4 wk after initiation of dosing. Some treated normal quail fell into dysstasia and died of nutritional disturbances. Histologically, 2,5-HD-treated normal quail had NF-rich axonal swellings and degeneration in the distal parts of the peripheral nerves, spinal cord, and cerebellar peduncles. In contrast, 2,5-HD-injected Quv quail showed tonic convulsion, ataxia gait, severe quivering, and excitation about 2-3 days after administration. Some treated Quv birds died immediately after systemic tonic convulsion, probably because of asphyxia. Although all treated Quv quail showed neurologic signs, there were no recognizable 2,5-HD-induced lesions in the nervous system. After about 4-6 wk of dosing, 2,5-HD induced distal axonopathy in normal quail and acute neurotoxicity in Quv quail.  (+info)

Cerebral Ataxia, also known as Cerebellar Ataxia or Cerebellar Ataxia Syndrome, is similar to Ataxic Cerebral Palsy in some ways but different in others. They are both marked by the same symptoms such as an unsteady walk, poor muscle tone, and lack of coordination.. Unlike Ataxic CP, Cerebral Ataxia doesnt necessarily occur in birth. It can also be classified as acute, where the disorder appears suddenly and in high severity, or chronic, wherein the disorder progresses over a stretched out period of time. Cerebral Ataxia can even be recurrent and happen on and off over short or long periods of time. There are even cases where it develops at a late age but the patient can still live for years afterwards.. Also like Ataxic Cerebral Palsy, Cerebral Ataxia has many different causes. They can include infectious diseases, genetic conditions, tumors, trauma, and vascular conditions. Because many of these conditions can happen at any point in someones life, it is possible to develop Cerebral Ataxia at ...

Differential increases of specific FMR1 mRNA isoforms in premutation carriers | Journal of Medical GeneticsDifferential increases of specific FMR1 mRNA isoforms in premutation carriers | Journal of Medical Genetics
Background Over 40% of male and ∼16% of female carriers of a premutation FMR1 allele (55-200 CGG repeats) will develop fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome, an adult onset neurodegenerative disorder, while about 20% of female carriers will develop fragile X-associated primary ovarian insufficiency. Marked elevation in FMR1 mRNA transcript levels has been observed with premutation alleles, and RNA toxicity due to increased mRNA levels is the leading molecular mechanism proposed for these disorders. However, although the FMR1 gene undergoes alternative splicing, it is unknown whether all or only some of the isoforms are overexpressed in premutation carriers and which isoforms may contribute to the premutation pathology.. ...

An Association of Fragile X Associated Tremor/Ataxia Syndrome (FXTAS) with Three Common Neurological Problems: A ReviewAn Association of Fragile X Associated Tremor/Ataxia Syndrome (FXTAS) with Three Common Neurological Problems: A Review
Aim: To study the association of Fragile X associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS) with Alzheimers disease and Lewy Body Dementia.Method: A systematic search was performed in various data bases and journals of Neurology. In total over 600 articles were reviewed and out of those, 39 were selected based on selection criteria.Results: FXTAS is associated with Alzheimers disease and Lewy Body dementia because so many symptomatic and pathophysiological similarities are found between FXTAS and these two neurodegenerative diseases.Conclusion: The association of FXTAS with neurodegenerative illnesses like Alzheimers disease and Lewy Body dementia is present because of many similarities between them. However, some dissimilarities do exist and some questions remain in addressing the pathophysiology of this association. Therefore we recommend more research in the near future to understand this association to develop and utilize wide-reaching therapies.

This study aims to determine whether 4-aminopyridine (4AP) can reduce attacks of ataxia in patients with episodic ataxia type 2 (EA2), a rare but often debilitating condition. Episodic ataxia (EA) is a group of inherited disorders characterized by recurrent, discrete episodes of vertigo and ataxia variably associated with progressive ataxia. EA2, the most common and the best characterized of all the EA syndromes, is caused by heterozygous mutations in CACNA1A, which encodes the main subunit of a neuronal voltage-gated calcium channel, Cav2.1.. Although observational data suggest symptomatic resolution with acetazolamide in many EA2 patients, the investigators found in our patient databases that at least a third of the EA2 patients continue to suffer debilitating ataxia attacks, either because of incomplete control while on acetazolamide or because of intolerability or hypersensitivity to acetazolamide. For these patients there is no alternative intervention. 4-Aminopyridine (4AP) has been found ...

The posterior parietal cortex (PPC) is thought to play an important role in the sensorimotor transformations associated with reaching movements. In humans, damage to the PPC, particularly bilateral lesions, leads to impairments of visually guided reaching movements (optic ataxia). Recent accounts of optic ataxia based upon electrophysiological recordings in monkeys have proposed that this disorder arises because of a breakdown in the tuning fields of parietal neurons responsible for integrating spatially congruent retinal, eye, and hand position signals to produce coordinated eye and hand movements . We present neurological evidence that forces a reconceptualization of this view. We report a detailed case study of a patient with a limb-dependent form of optic ataxia who can accurately reach with either hand to objects that he can foveate (thereby demonstrating coordinated eye-hand movements) but who cannot effectively decouple reach direction from gaze direction for movements executed using his right

Mechanisms Underlying Trigger-Induced Motor Attacks in the Episodic Ataxia Type 2 Mouse Model TotteringMechanisms Underlying Trigger-Induced Motor Attacks in the Episodic Ataxia Type 2 Mouse Model Tottering
Episodic ataxia type 2 (EA2) is a channelopathy caused by mutations in the CACNA1A gene that encodes for the pore subunit of P/Q type voltage gated Ca+2 channels. Patients carrying these mutations display baseline cerebellar ataxia and episodes of severe ataxia and dystonia. The episodes can last from a few hours to a couple of days, and are triggered by physical or emotional stress, or caffeine or alcohol consumption. The mechanisms by which the stressors induce the episodes are not known. In this thesis, using a well-established mouse model of EA2, tottering, we sought to delineate the mechanisms underlying trigger-induced motor attacks. Because cerebellar Purkinje cells (PCs) are known to be required for the expression of attacks in tottering mice, we focused our studies on the physiology of these cells. In the past decade our lab has extensively studied the conductances regulating intrinsic pacemaking of PCs. Through this comprehensive work it was established that the only conductance that ...

Episodic ataxia type 2 (EA2) is characterized by paroxysmal attacks of ataxia, vertigo, and nausea typically lasting minutes to days in duration. Attacks can be associated with dysarthria, diplopia, tinnitus, dystonia, hemiplegia, and headache. About 50% of individuals with EA2 have migraine headaches. Onset is typically in childhood or early adolescence (age range 2-32 years). Frequency of attacks can range from once or twice a year to three or four times a week. Attacks can be triggered by stress, exertion, caffeine, alcohol, fever, heat, and phenytoin; they can be stopped or decreased in frequency and severity by administration of acetazolamide or 4-aminopyridine. Between attacks, individuals may initially be asymptomatic but commonly develop interictal findings that can include nystagmus, pursuit and saccade alterations, and ataxia.

Action binding and the parietal lobes: Some new perspectives on optic ataxia - Department of Experimental PsychologyAction binding and the parietal lobes: Some new perspectives on optic ataxia - Department of Experimental Psychology
To execute goal-directed movements, such as reaching to pick up an object, information specified in extrinsic (spatial) coordinates must be transformed into a motor plan that is expressed within intrinsic (motor) coordinates. For reaching movements directed to visually defined targets, this will involve translating visual information that is initially coded in retinotopic coordinates into a motor plan that specifies the sequence of postural changes required to bring the hand to the target. Several lines of evidence point to the important role played by the posterior parietal cortex (PPC) in carrying out the sensorimotor transformations that are associated with goal-directed action. In humans, damage to the PPC, particularly bilateral lesions, leads to impairments in the planning and control of reaching movements directed towards visual targets, known as optic ataxia. Recent theoretical accounts of this disorder propose that it arises as a result of a failure within successive stages of the sensorimotor

Recently, familial EA has been linked to the voltage-dependent delayed rectifier, Kv1.1, on chromosome 12. Six EA families have been identified that carry distinct Kv1.1 missense mutations; all individuals are heterozygous. Expression in Xenopus oocytes demonstrates that two of the EA subunits form homomeric channels with altered gating properties. V408A channels have voltage dependence similar to that of wild-type channels, but with faster kinetics and increased C-type inactivation, while the voltage dependence of F1 84C channels is shifted 20 mV positive. The other four EA subunits do not produce functional homomeric channels but reduce the ...

Attacks of ataxia, or the loss of ability to coordinate muscular movement, are often triggered by stress or exertion. EA is likely caused by an inherited genetic mutation; many individuals with EA have abnormalities in the KCNA1 or CACNA1A genes. To date, two known subtypes of EA have been identified, and other types likely exist. Specific characteristics of each EA subtype, however, have not been adequately described. The purpose of this study is to better define the clinical features and genetic basis of the various subtypes of EA and to evaluate disease progression. The study will also establish relevant study endpoints for use in future therapeutic trials.. This multi-center observational study will involve both a cross-sectional data analysis and a prospective longitudinal analysis.

Ataxia What is ataxia? The word ataxia comes from the Greek word a taxis, which means without order or without coordination. Thus, ataxia means without coordination. Persons who are diagnosed with ataxia experience a failure of muscle control in their arms and legs which may result in a lack of balance, coordination, and possibly a disturbance in gait. Ataxia may affect the fingers, hands, arms, legs, body, speech, and even eye movements. The word ataxia is often used to describe the incoordinatio...

DMOZ - Health: Conditions and Diseases: Neurological Disorders: AtaxiaDMOZ - Health: Conditions and Diseases: Neurological Disorders: Ataxia
Broadly speaking, the word ataxia simply means unsteadiness and clumsiness, and has been given to the condition because those are usually the earliest symptoms. As the disorder progresses, people with ataxia usually lose the ability to walk, and can become totally disabled, having to depend on others for their care. This is because ataxia destroys both nerve and muscle cells. Vision (and in some cases hearing) and speech may also be affected.

Background: Ataxia can be classified as genetic, sporadic or acquired. Aim: To report the clinical features of a group of patients with ataxia. Material and Methods: Review of medical records of patients consulting in a specialized center in movement disorders. Those records in which the diagnosis of ataxia or ataxic syndrome appeared, were selected for the review. Results: Of 4,282 records surveyed, the diagnosis of ataxia appeared in 95. After eliminating repeated or incomplete records, 63 were reviewed. Results: Ataxia was sporadic, genetic and acquired in 27, 22 and 14 patients, respectively. The mean age at presentation for genetic, acquired and sporadic ataxia was 24, 46 and 53 years respectively. All autosomal dominant ataxias were type 3 spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA). Friedrichs ataxia was the most common recessive form. Most sporadic forms of ataxia were multiple system atrophy with predominant cerebellar ataxia (MSA-C) subtype. Conclusions: Considering the heterogeneity of patients ...

Ataxia is defined as the inability to generate a normal voluntary movement trajectory that cannot be attributed to weakness or involuntary muscle activity.1 The word derives from Greek and means without order, referring to disorganized, poorly coordinated, or clumsy movments.2 The disorder may be caused by dysfunction of the cerebellum or its immediate projections, and is traditionally referred to as cerebellar ataxia. In such cases, ataxia may involve appendicular (e.g., limb) or axial (e.g., truncal) control, often affecting balance and gait. Cerebellar ataxia is estimated to affect 26 in 100,000 children worldwide.3 Injuries to the proprioceptive system may also present with clumsy, disorganized movements, known as sensory ataxia. Finally, vestibular injury may affect posture and balance, which much be distinguished from ataxia. This chapter focuses on symptoms, signs, and etiologies of cerebellar ataxia, with an emphasis on infectious and para/postinfectious causes. ...

The cerebellum and its major connection are subject to a number of diseases. One of the most relevant consequences of cerebellar dysfunction is ataxia, a neurological dysfunction of motor coordination, which may affect fundamental activities such as gaze, speech, gait, and balance1. The hereditary ataxias comprise a very large spectrum of genetically determined neurodegenerative disorders with progressive ataxia as the prominent symptom2. The International Cooperative Ataxia Rating Scale (ICARS) is a scale developed to assess cerebellar ataxia3. ICARS was found to be a reliable scale satisfying accepted criteria for interrater reliability, test_retest reliability, and internal consistency. Although validity testing was limited, It was found evidence of validity of ICARS when ataxia disease stages and Barthel index were used as external criteria4,5.. In order to measure the severity of cerebellar ataxia in an easier and more practical way, Schmitz-Hubsch et al proposed a new scale: the Scale for ...

Sensory ataxia is caused by the loss of proprioception (knowing where parts of the body are). It is usually caused by damage to the parts of the spinal cord that carry information about proprioception to the brain. However, it can also be caused by damage to the parts of the brain that receive that information (the cerebellum, the thalamus, and the parietal lobes of the brain).[1] A person with sensory ataxia may have these symptoms: ...

Author Summary Hereditary ataxias are a heterogeneous group of rare disorders characterized by progressive cerebellar neurodegeneration. Several causative mutations have been identified in various forms of human ataxias. In addition to humans, inherited ataxias have been described in several other species, including the domestic dog. In this study, we have studied the clinical and genetic properties of cerebellar ataxia in the Finnish Hound dog breed. The breed suffers from a progressive ataxia that has an early onset before the age of 3 months. Affected puppies have difficulties in coordinating their movements and balance, and have to be euthanized due to rapidly worsening symptoms. Our pedigree analysis suggested an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance, which was confirmed by identifying a homozygous mutation in the SEL1L gene through genome-wide association and linkage analyses. The SEL1L protein functions in a protein quality control pathway that targets misfolded proteins to degradation in the

Twenty-six percent had chickenpox, 52% had other illnesses that were presumed to be viral, and in 3% the ataxia was related to immunization. Nineteen percent had no definite prodrome. Sixty children were followed for 4 months or longer after onset of their ataxia (mean, 7.4 f 6.0 years). Ninety-one percent (55160)of these, including all children with chickenpox, recovered completely from ataxia. Eighty-nine percent (39/44)of the children with non-varicellarelated ataxia recovered completely from the ataxia, a much better rate of recovery than what was found in prior large studies.

Experimental neurotransplantation treatment for hereditary cerebellar ataxias | Cerebellum & Ataxias | Full TextExperimental neurotransplantation treatment for hereditary cerebellar ataxias | Cerebellum & Ataxias | Full Text
Hereditary cerebellar degenerations are a heterogeneous group of diseases often having a detrimental impact on patients quality of life. Unfortunately, no sufficiently effective causal therapy is available for human patients at present. There are several therapies that have been shown to affect the pathogenetic process and thereby to delay the progress of the disease in mouse models of cerebellar ataxias. The second experimental therapeutic approach for hereditary cerebellar ataxias is neurotransplantation. Grafted cells might provide an effect via delivery of a scarce neurotransmitter, substitution of lost cells if functionally integrated and rescue or trophic support of degenerating cells. The results of cerebellar transplantation research over the past 30 years are reviewed here and potential benefits and limitations of neurotransplantation therapy are discussed.

Ataxia in DogsAtaxia in Dogs
The word ataxia comes from two roots: a meaning lack and taxia meaning order. So literally, the staggering we see is a lack of order, or incoordination, within the nervous system. The abnormal movement can occur in the legs, the head, the torso, or all three.. There are several different forms of ataxia, depending on where in the nervous system the abnormality occurs. The first is a failure of the unconscious awareness of where the body - specifically the limbs - are located in space. This unconscious body awareness is called proprioception, and when there is a proprioceptive abnormality, movement is difficult and quite abnormal. A proprioceptive defect most commonly occurs in the wake of pressure on the spinal cord from a bulging intervertebral disk or tumor, from a tumor within the spinal cord itself, from a bleeding blood vessel within the spinal cord, or a failure of the nerve conduction capacity of the spinal cord.. ...
