The electrophysiological findings in PCB/MFS are of great interest and may provide insight into the pathophysiology of the disorder. We report the clinical features and nerve conduction study findings in a patient with PCB/MFS with high titers of antiganglioside antibodies against GQ1b, GD1a, and GD1b. In serial nerve conduction studies, compound muscle action potential amplitudes normalised without development of temporal dispersion within 3 weeks, and absent median, ulnar, and sural sensory nerve action potentials became recordable within 4 months. These findings are consistent with reversible conduction failure in both motor and sensory fibres, and PCB/MFS could be classified in the recently described nodo-paranodopathy spectrum of acute neuropathies associated with anti-ganglioside antibodies.

Methods: We studied 124 hands with idiopathic CTS with pain complaints involving hand and wrist. All hands were assessed by the LANSS with which a score of 12 or more is defined as pain dominated by neuropathic mechanisms. These hands were assigned to minimal, mild, moderate, severe, or extreme severe groups according to the results of the median nerve conduction studies. Results: A LANSS score $ 12, suggestive of pain dominated by neuropathic mechanisms, was defined in 59 (47.6%) CTS hands. Pain intensity was significantly higher in CTS hands with a LANSS score $ 12 (P , 0.001). Among electrophysiological findings, compound muscle action potential amplitude was significantly lower in hands with a LANSS score $ 12 compared with hands with a LANSS score , 12 (P = 0.020). Severity of CTS was not significantly different between LANSS $ 12 and LANSS , 12 groups. Electrophysiological severity was significantly higher in CTS hands with evoked pain (P = 0.005) and allodynia (P , 0.001) in LANSS subscore analysis. Conclusion: We suggest that the presence of pain dominated by neuropathic mechanisms in CTS is not related to electrophysiological CTS severity. Neuropathic pain should be assessed carefully in patients with CTS, and an appropriate treatment plan should be chosen, taking into account the clinical and electrophysiological findings together with the true pain classification.

Nazli; GÜRSOY, AZIZE ESRA; BABACAN YILDIZ, GÜLSENThe last decade has proven that amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is clinically and genetically heterogeneous, and that the genetic component in sporadic cases might be stronger than expected. This study investigates 1,200 patients to revisit ALS in the ethnically heterogeneous yet inbred Turkish population. Familial ALS (fALS) accounts for 20% of our cases. The rates of consanguinity are 30% in fALS and 23% in sporadic ALS (sALS). Major ALS genes explained the disease cause in only 35% of fALS, as compared with similar to 70% in Europe and North America. Whole exome sequencing resulted in a discovery rate of 42% (53/127). Whole genome analyses in 623 sALS cases and 142 population controls, sequenced within Project MinE, revealed well-established fALS gene variants, solidifying the concept of incomplete penetrance in ALS. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) with whole genome sequencing data did not indicate a new risk locus. Coupling GWAS with a coexpression network of disease-associated candidates, points to a significant enrichment for cell cycle- and division-related genes. Within this network, literature text-mining highlightsDECR1, ATL1, HDAC2, GEMIN4, andHNRNPA3as important genes. Finally, information on ALS-related gene variants in the Turkish cohort sequenced within Project MinE was compiled in the GeNDAL variant browser (www.gendal.org).Publication Metadata only Clinical features of a Turkish family with restless leg syndrome and periodic limb movements(2012-04-15) YILDIZ, GÜLSEN; LOHMAN, EBBA; GÜRSOY, AZİZE ESRA; KARAKÖSE, FATMANUR; AKKOYUNLU, MUHAMMED EMİN; KOLUKISA, MEHMET; ÇELEBİ, ARİF; BABACAN YILDIZ, GÜLSEN; GÜRSOY, AZIZE ESRA; OKYALTIRIK, FATMANUR; AKKOYUNLU, MUHAMMED EMİN; KOLUKISA, MEHMETPublication Metadata only COST: Cognitive State Test, a brief screening battery for Alzheimer disease in illiterate and literate patients.(2013-03-01T00:00:00Z) BABACAN-YıLDıZ, G; IŞıK, AT; UR, E; AYDEMIR, E; ERTAS, C; CEBI, M; SOYSAL, PINAR; Gursoy, E; KOLUKıSA, MEHMET; KOCAMAN, G; CELEBI, A; BABACAN YILDIZ, GÜLSEN; SOYSAL, PINAR; GÜRSOY, AZIZE ESRA; KOLUKISA, MEHMETPublication Metadata only Idiopathic spinal accessory nerve palsy: A case report and review of the literature.(2013-01-01T00:00:00Z) Gürsoy, AZİZE ESRA; BABACAN-YıLDıZ, G; KOLUKıSA, MEHMET; CELEBI, A; GÜRSOY, AZIZE ESRA; BABACAN YILDIZ, GÜLSEN; KOLUKISA, MEHMET
