Neurological symptoms in patients with biopsy proven celiac diseaseKatrin Burk
Department of Neurology, University of Marburg, Marburg, Germany
Mov Disord 24:2358-62. 2009..Gait disturbances in CD do not only result from cerebellar ataxia but also from proprioceptive or vestibular impairment. Neurological problems may even develop despite strict adherence to a gluten-free diet...
Exon deletions and intragenic insertions are not rare in ataxia with oculomotor apraxia 2Veronica Bernard
Institut fur Humangenetik, Universitat zu Lubeck, Lubeck, Germany
BMC Med Genet 10:87. 2009..AOA2 is caused by mutations within the senataxin gene (SETX). The majority of known mutations are nonsense, missense, and splice site mutations, as well as small deletions and insertions...
Antineuronal antibodies in sporadic late-onset cerebellar ataxiaK Burk
Institute for Cell Biology, Department of Immunology, University of Tubingen, Tubingen, Germany
J Neurol 257:59-62. 2010..9%). There was no hint of a paraneoplastic disorder in any of the patients. The present findings suggest an autoimmune contribution to the pathophysiology of a subgroup of sporadic late-onset cerebellar ataxia...
Comparison of three clinical rating scales in Friedreich ataxia (FRDA)Katrin Burk
Department of Neurodegeneration and Restorative Research, Centers of Molecular Physiology of the Brain and Neurological Medicine, University of Gottingen, Gottingen, Germany
Mov Disord 24:1779-84. 2009..Because SARA is characterized by high interrater reliability and practicability, SARA is applicable and well suited forclinical trials of FRDA...
Cognition in hereditary ataxiaKatrin Burk
Department of Neurology, University of Marburg, and Institute of Brain Research, University of Tubingen, Germany
Cerebellum 6:280-6. 2007....
Cognitive function in multiple system atrophy of the cerebellar typeKatrin Burk
Department of Neurology, University of Ulm, Ulm, and Department of Neurology, University of Tubingen, Tubingen, Germany
Mov Disord 21:772-6. 2006..Test performance was not related to the severity of motor disability. Regarding the similar cognitive syndrome of MSA-P, the otherwise subclinical problems in MSA-C result from subcortical rather than from cerebellar dysfunction...
Clinical and magnetic resonance imaging characteristics of sporadic cerebellar ataxiaKatrin Burk
Department of Neurology, University of Ulm, Ulm, Germany
Arch Neurol 62:981-5. 2005..It is unknown whether multiple system atrophy of the cerebellar type (MSA-C) and idiopathic cerebellar ataxia with extracerebellar presentation (IDCA-P) represent distinct entities...
CD8(+)/perforin/granzyme B(+) effector cells infiltrating cerebellum and inferior olives in gluten ataxiaMichel Mittelbronn

Mutations in TITF1 are not relevant to sporadic and familial chorea of unknown causePeter Bauer
Medical Genetics, University of Tubingen, Tubingen, Germany
Mov Disord 21:1734-7. 2006..Additionally, linkage analysis excluded TITF1 mutations in a large family with benign hereditary chorea...
Diagnosis and treatment of Friedreich ataxia: a European perspectiveJorg B Schulz
Department of Neurology, University Hospital, RWTH Aachen, Pauwelsstrasse 30, Aachen, Germany
Nat Rev Neurol 5:222-34. 2009..This Review provides guidelines, from a European perspective, for the diagnosis of Friedreich ataxia, differential diagnosis of ataxias and genetic counseling, and treatment of neurological and non-neurological symptoms...
Do CTG expansions at the SCA8 locus cause ataxia?Ludger Schols
Department of Neurology, St Josef Hospital, Ruhr University, Bochum, Germany
Ann Neurol 54:110-5. 2003..Our data question the disease-causing character of CTG expansions for SCA8 and advise great caution in genetic testing...

Department of Nuclear Medicine, , Germany
Mov Disord 21:1667-73. 2006..RLS in SCA was not accompanied by a significant reduction of D(2) receptor availability in the striatum. This missing correlation may point to an extrastriatal origin of RLS...
