  • * A specific case is presented of a 53-year-old male who experienced progressive myoclonus-ataxia and was found to have a new genetic variant (c.3835G > A) in the CACNA1G gene.
  • * The study suggests that this novel variant may affect calcium channel activity and emphasizes the significance of genetic testing for understanding myoclonus-ataxia disorders.

Objectives: Recent studies supported coagulation involvement in multiple sclerosis, an inflammatory-demyelinating and degenerative disease of the central nervous system. The main objectives of this observational study were to identify the most specific pro-coagulative/vascular factors for multiple sclerosis pathogenesis and to correlate them with brain hemodynamic abnormalities.

Methods: We compared i) serum/plasma levels of complement(C)/coagulation/vascular factors, viral/microbiological assays, fat-soluble vitamins and lymphocyte count among people with multiple sclerosis sampled in a clinical remission (=30; 23F/7M, 40 ± 8.
