Criteria for Diagnosis of Familial Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Neuromuscular disorders : NMD, 1992Co-Authors: Michael Swash, Nigel LeighAbstract:Clinical criteria for the diagnosis of motor neuron disease, agreed at the inaugural meeting of the European Familial Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Collaborative Group, are described. The criteria are derived from those developed for the study of sporadic Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, and allow the inclusion of certain recognized clinical sub-types of familial Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. They will require testing for consistency and sensitivity.

Spinal Fluid Cells and Protein in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Archives of neurology, 1993Co-Authors: Forbes H. Norris, W. Burns, E. Mukai, H. NorrisAbstract:• The cerebrospinal fluid total protein in 385 cases of sporadic Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis showed no relationship to survival, but it was related to survival time in 34 cases of familial Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. Infrequent and mild pleocytosis, and oligoclonal bands seemed to have no clinical significance in well established cases of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.

Lipids, apolipoproteins, and prognosis of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.
Neurology, 2020Co-Authors: Caroline Ingre, Lin Chen, Yiqiang Zhan, Jet Termorshuizen, Li Yin, Fang FangAbstract:Objective To determine whether lipids and apolipoproteins predict prognosis of patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis in a cohort study of 99 patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis who were diagnosed during 2015 to 2018 and followed up until October 31, 2018, at the Neurology Clinic in Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm, Sweden. Methods Total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein AI, apolipoprotein B, and lipid ratios were measured at the time of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis diagnosis or shortly thereafter. Death after Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis diagnosis was used as the main outcome. The Cox model was used to estimate hazard ratios with 95% confidence intervals of death after Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis diagnosis, after controlling for sex, age at diagnosis, site of symptom onset, diagnostic delay, body mass index, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Functional Rating Scale–Revised score, and progression rate. Results A 1-SD increase of total cholesterol (hazard ratio 0.60, 95% confidence interval 0.41–0.89, p = 0.01), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (hazard ratio 0.64, 95% confidence interval 0.44–0.92, p = 0.02), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (hazard ratio 0.65, 95% confidence interval 0.46–0.92, p = 0.02), apolipoprotein B (hazard ratio 0.62, 95% confidence interval 0.44–0.88, p = 0.01), or apolipoprotein B/apolipoprotein AI ratio (hazard ratio 0.61, 95% confidence interval 0.43–0.86, p Conclusions Lipids and apolipoproteins are important prognostic indicators for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and should be monitored at the diagnosis of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.

Lipids, apolipoproteins, and prognosis of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
'Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health)', 2020Co-Authors: Ingre Caroline, Li Yin, Chen Lin, Zhan Yiqiang, Termorshuizen Jet, Fang FangAbstract:Objective: To determine whether lipids and apolipoproteins predict prognosis of patients with amyo- trophic Lateral Sclerosis in a cohort study of 99 patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis who were diagnosed during 2015 to 2018 and followed up until October 31, 2018, at the Neurology Clinic in Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm, Sweden.

A dose-response relationship was also noted when these biomarkers were analyzed as categorical variables. Conclusions: Lipids and apolipoproteins are important prognostic indicators for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and should be monitored at the diagnosis of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.Swedish Research CouncilEuropean Research CouncilPublishe

Difficulties in distinguishing sporadic from familial Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Annals of neurology, 1996Co-Authors: Richard W. Orell, Jj Habgood, Petter Rudge, Russell J.m. Lane, Jackie S. De BellerocheAbstract:Mutations of the copper/zinc superoxide dismutase (SOD-1) gene are present in around 20% of patients with a family history of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. The finding of these mutations in patients with sporadic Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis is rare. We describe a family with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis associated with the SOD-1 mutation Asp 101 Asn. This mutation was previously described as occurring in a patient with sporadic disease. We discuss the difficulties in defining truly sporadic Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, and the consequent implications on the neurogenetic advice given to other family members.
