Article Synopsis
- The text discusses hereditary spinocerebellar degenerations (SCDs), which are genetic disorders affecting movement and coordination, including conditions like hereditary spastic paraplegia and cerebellar ataxia.
- Researchers studied 90 Sudanese patients from 38 families using advanced genetic techniques and found that a significant portion (63-73%) received genetic diagnoses, often with childhood-onset symptoms.
- The study highlights the genetic diversity of the Sudanese population and the challenges in identifying causative genes, suggesting a potential for discovering new genes related to SCDs in this group.
Background: There is a scarcity of reports from limited-resources countries on functional neurological disorder (FND). We therefore carried out this descriptive study from Sudan to highlight the clinical characteristics of patients and the cultural, diagnostic, and management outcome.
Method: Of 1000 new referrals and patients seen at a central neuropsychiatric clinic in Khartoum, Sudan, 40 fulfilled the criteria for FND.
