The common characteristics are cerebellar hypoplasia with variable atrophy of the cerebellum and the ventral pons. Supratentorial involvement is reflected by variable neocortical atrophy, ventriculomegaly and microcephaly. Mutations in the transfer RNA splicing endonuclease subunit genes (TSEN54, TSEN2, TSEN34) were found to be associated with pontocerebellar hypoplasia types 2 and 4. Mutations in the mitochondrial transfer RNA arginyl synthetase gene (RARS2) were associated with pontocerebellar hypoplasia type 6. We studied a cohort of 169 patients from 141 families for mutations in these genes, of whom 106 patients tested positive for mutations in one of the TSEN genes or the RARS2 gene. In order to delineate the neuroradiological and clinical phenotype of patients with mutations in these genes, we compared this group with 63 patients suspected of pontocerebellar hypoplasia who were negative on mutation analysis. We found a strong correlation (P < 0.0005) between TSEN54 mutations and a dragonfly-like cerebellar pattern on magnetic resonance imaging, in which the cerebellar hemispheres are flat and severely reduced in size and the vermis is relatively spared. Mutations in TSEN54 are clinically associated with dyskinesia and/or dystonia and variable degrees of spasticity, in some cases with pure generalized spasticity. Nonsense or splice site mutations in TSEN54 are associated with a more severe phenotype of more perinatal symptoms, ventilator dependency and early death. In addition, we present ten new mutations in TSEN54, TSEN2 and RARS2. Furthermore, we show that pontocerebellar hypoplasia type 1 together with elevated cerebrospinal fluid lactate may be caused by RARS2 mutations."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1093/brain/awq287"],["dc.identifier.isi","000285625000014"],["dc.identifier.pmid","20952379"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/24277"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Oxford Univ Press"],["dc.relation.issn","0006-8950"],["dc.title","Clinical, neuroradiological and genetic findings in pontocerebellar hypoplasia"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]Details DOI PMID PMC WOS2009Journal Article [["dc.bibliographiccitation.artnumber","10"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.journal","Molecular Cytogenetics"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.volume","2"],["dc.contributor.author","Auber, Bernd"],["dc.contributor.author","Bruemmer, Verena"],["dc.contributor.author","Zoll, Barbara"],["dc.contributor.author","Burfeind, Peter"],["dc.contributor.author","Boehm, Detlef"],["dc.contributor.author","Liehr, Thomas"],["dc.contributor.author","Brockmann, Knut"],["dc.contributor.author","Wilichowski, Ekkehard"],["dc.contributor.author","Argyriou, Loukas"],["dc.contributor.author","Bartels, Iris"],["dc.date.accessioned","2018-11-07T08:35:08Z"],["dc.date.available","2018-11-07T08:35:08Z"],["dc.date.issued","2009"],["dc.description.abstract","Background: Submicroscopic imbalances in the subtelomeric regions of the chromosomes are considered to play an important role in the aetiology of mental retardation (MR).

Results: 296 patients with MR and a normal karyotype (500-550 bands) were screened for subtelomeric imbalances by using qPCR combined with SYBR green detection.

Environmental factors reported to trigger visual loss in LHON mutation carriers include smoking, heavy intake of alcohol, raised intraocular pressure, and some drugs, including several carbonic anhydrase inhibitors. The antiepileptic drug sulthiame (STM) is effective especially in focal seizures, particularly in benign epilepsy of childhood with centrotemporal spikes, and widely used in pediatric epileptology. STM is a sulfonamide derivate and an inhibitor of mammalian carbonic anhydrase isoforms I–XIV. Results We describe two unrelated patients, an 8-year-old girl and an 11-year-old boy, with cryptogenic focal epilepsy, who suffered binocular (subject #1) or monocular (subject #2) visual loss in close temporal connection with starting antiepileptic pharmacotherapy with STM. In both subjects, visual loss was due to LHON. We used real-time respirometry in fibroblasts derived from LHON patients carrying the same mitochondrial mutations as our two subjects to investigate the effect of STM on oxidative phosphorylation. Oxygen consumption rate in fibroblasts from a healthy control was not impaired by STM compared with a vehicle control. In contrast, fibroblasts carrying the m.14484T>C or the m.3460G>A LHON mutation displayed a drastic reduction of the respiration rate when treated with STM compared to vehicle control. Conclusions Our observations point to a causal relationship between STM treatment and onset or worsening of visual failure in two subjects with LHON rather than pure coincidence. We conclude that antiepileptic medication with STM may pose a risk for visual loss in LHON mutation carriers and should be avoided in these patients."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Open-Access-Publikationsfonds 2021"],["dc.identifier.citation","Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases. 2021 Feb 04;16(1):64"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1186/s13023-021-01690-y"],["dc.identifier.pmid","33541401"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/17726"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/82509"],["dc.identifier.url","https://mbexc.uni-goettingen.de/literature/publications/219"],["dc.identifier.url","https://sfb1286.uni-goettingen.de/literature/publications/102"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI Import GROB-399"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.relation","EXC 2067: Multiscale Bioimaging"],["dc.relation","SFB 1286: Quantitative Synaptologie"],["dc.relation","SFB 1286 | A06: Mitochondrienfunktion und -umsatz in Synapsen"],["dc.relation.eissn","1750-1172"],["dc.relation.workinggroup","RG Rehling (Mitochondrial Protein Biogenesis)"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.rights.holder","The Author(s)"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0"],["dc.subject","Sulthiame"],["dc.subject","Carbonic anhydrase inhibitor"],["dc.subject","Adverse effects"],["dc.subject","Leber hereditary optic neuropathy"],["dc.subject","LHON"],["dc.subject","Oxygen consumption rate"],["dc.title","Sulthiame impairs mitochondrial function in vitro and may trigger onset of visual loss in Leber hereditary optic neuropathy"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]Details DOI PMID PMC2013Journal Article Research Paper [["dc.bibliographiccitation.firstpage","772"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.issue","11"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.journal","Journal of Medical Genetics"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.lastpage","775"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.volume","50"],["dc.contributor.author","Banne, Ehud"],["dc.contributor.author","Atawneh, Osama"],["dc.contributor.author","Henneke, Marco"],["dc.contributor.author","Brockmann, Knut"],["dc.contributor.author","Gärtner, Jutta"],["dc.contributor.author","Elpeleg, Orly"],["dc.contributor.author","Edvardson, Simon"],["dc.date.accessioned","2017-09-07T11:47:04Z"],["dc.date.available","2017-09-07T11:47:04Z"],["dc.date.issued","2013"],["dc.description.abstract","West syndrome (WS) is an epileptic encephalopathy of childhood, defined by the presence of clustered spasms usually occurring before the age of 1year, hypsarrhythmia on EEG that is notoriously difficult to define, and developmental arrest or regression.

Because most cases of RTT are caused by mutations in the MECP2 gene it is reasonable to assume that convulsions are based on common pathogenetic mechanisms and thus should have a similar response to antiepileptic drugs. Purpose: To find the optimal treatment for epilepsy in RTT. Methods: We performed a retrospective study on 110 female patients with confirmed MECP2 mutations. Results: The median age was 10 years, 58% had a history of epilepsy and 55% received antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). Only sulthiame, carbamazepine and valproate were administered in an adequate frequency to allow statistical analysis. The best anticonvulsive results were seen in the RTT group that was treated with carbamazepine. Sulthiame was slightly less effective while valproate was significantly less effective. The rate of side effects was equivalent in all groups. In conclusion, carbamazepine should be recommended as first choice AED in RTT. If carbamazepine is not effective or not well tolerated sulthiame ought to be taken as second choice AED. (c) 2006 European Paediatric Neurology Society. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
