Article Synopsis
- Biallelic SUFU variants are linked to severe conditions like Joubert syndrome, while heterozygous truncating variants are associated with milder issues such as developmental delay and ocular motor apraxia, though limited cases have been studied. !* -
- The study examined nine individuals across three families with truncating SUFU variants, detailing their neuroimaging and developmental assessments to explore the phenotypic expression of these variants. !* -
- Findings revealed a wide range of symptoms including motor developmental delays and subtle neuroimaging abnormalities, indicating that SUFU haploinsufficiency presents with varying severity, even among family members. !*
Downbeat nystagmus (DBN) is the most common form of acquired central vestibular nystagmus. Gravity perception in patients with DBN has previously been investigated by means of subjective visual straight ahead (SVA) and subjective visual vertical (SVV) in the pitch and roll planes only during whole-body tilts. To our knowledge, the effect of head tilt in the roll plane on the SVV and on DBN has not yet been systematically studied in patients.

Objective: Here we aim to investigate possible seasonal influences on the occurrence of BPPV in Vienna, a city located in a Central European country with pronounced seasonal fluctuations.
Methods: We retrospectively investigated data from 503 patients presenting with BPPV to the outpatient clinics of the Medical University of Vienna between 2007 and 2012.
