Early Onset Dystonia: Complaints about Executive Functioning, Depression and Anxiety

Maraike A. Coenen, Hendriekje Eggink, A. M. Madelein van der Stouwe, Jacoba M. Spikman, Marina A. J. Tijssen

Summary: Early Onset Dystonia (EOD) is believed to be caused by dysfunction in the basal ganglia, which is also involved in non-motor functions such as behavior, mood, and anxiety regulation. Proxy-reports have shown problems in these areas, while self-reports from EOD patients have not. A questionnaire study on 45 EOD patients found that proxy-rated behavior regulation and depression symptoms were related to social functioning, and proxies reported more symptoms of depression than patients.

Case report: a typical Silver-Russell syndrome patient with hand dystonia: the valuable support of the consensus statement to the wide syndromic spectrum

Alessandro Vimercati, Pierpaola Tannorella, Eleonora Orlandini, Luciano Calzari, Mirella Moro, Sara Guzzetti, Angelo Selicorni, Milena Crippa, Lidia Larizza, Maria Teresa Bonati, Silvia Russo

Summary: The amount of IGF2 controls growth rate, and dysregulation due to IC1 LoM or GoM leads to SRS or BWS disorders respectively. A girl with right body asymmetry was diagnosed with SRS but later re-evaluation revealed IC1_LoM and a range of symptoms including macrocephaly and neurological issues. Trio-WES identified a VPS16 variant which, combined with IGF2 deficit, could explain the proband's neurological phenotype.

In silico versus functional characterization of genetic variants: lessons from muscle channelopathies

Vinojini Vivekanandam, Rebecca Ellmers, Dipa Jayaseelan, Henry Houlden, Roope Mannikko, Michael G. Hanna

Summary: Accurately determining the pathogenicity of uncertain missense genetic variants is a challenge for clinical use of genetic data. In this study, nine in silico predictive tools were compared with cell-based electrophysiology for CLCN1 variants related to myotonia congenita. Most tools showed poor accuracy, with MutationTaster and REVEL having the highest accuracy but poor specificity. Combining methods improved overall performance but lacked specificity. The current predictive tools for this chloride channel are unreliable, and better tools are urgently needed. Improving predictive tool accuracy is a wider challenge for genetic data implementation.

Importance of Retesting for the Final Diagnosis of Post-Stroke Cognitive Impairment

Dominik Koren, Miriam Slavkovska, Marianna Vitkova, Zuzana Gdovinova

Summary: The aim of this study was to screen for cognitive impairment in patients with an ischaemic stroke and investigate its relationship with cardiovascular risk factors and imaging procedures. The prevalence of cognitive impairment at discharge was found to be 74%, which decreased to 60% after 6 months. Arterial hypertension, lower education level, and higher age were significantly associated with cognitive impairment after stroke. Only an examination several months after a stroke can provide more accurate information about the true prevalence of persistent cognitive impairment.
