Article Synopsis
- This study reviews 32 years of brain cutting cases at Sumitomo Hospital, focusing on instances where clinical imaging can be analyzed alongside pathological findings.
- The research emphasizes the importance of comparing clinical imaging with pathological results, as it aids in diagnosing and understanding the origins of brain lesions.
- Despite some limitations, these comparisons offer valuable insights into brain diseases beyond degenerative conditions.
Background: We intended to clarify the phenotypic and molecular diversities of spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2) in Japan.
Methods: DNA was extracted from the peripheral blood of 436 patients, including 126 patients with chronic neuropathy, 108 with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and 202 with cerebellar ataxia. We then PCR-amplified and sequenced the ATXN2 gene.
Background: The coexistence of distinct neurodegenerative diseases in single cases has recently attracted greater attention. The phenotypic co-occurrence of progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) has been documented in several cases. That said, the clinicopathological comorbidity of these two diseases has not been demonstrated.
