Clinical applications of immunoglobulin in neuromuscular diseases: focus on inflammatory myopathies
During recent years, an increasing number of neuromuscular diseases have been recognized either to be caused primarily by autoimmune mechanisms, or to have important autoimmune components. the involved pathophysiological mechanisms and clinical manifestations have been better recognized and many of these disorders are potentially treatable by immunosuppression or by immunomodulation with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg). IVIg has been tried in a variety of immune-mediated neurological diseases, being target of widespread use in central and peripheral nervous systems diseases. Objective: To give an overview of the main topics regarding the mechanism of action and different therapeutic uses of IVIg in neurological practice, mainly in neuromuscular diseases.Universidade Federal de São Paulo, Dept Neurol & Neurocirurgia, Div Doencas Neuromusculares, BR-04023900 São Paulo, BrazilUniversidade Federal de São Paulo, Dept Neurol & Neurocirurgia, Div Doencas Neuromusculares, BR-04023900 São Paulo, BrazilWeb of Scienc
C9orf72-related disorders: expanding the clinical and genetic spectrum of neurodegenerative diseases
Neurodegenerative diseases represent a heterogeneous group of neurological conditions primarily involving dementia, motor neuron disease and movement disorders. They are mostly related to different pathophysiological processes, notably in family forms in which the clinical and genetic heterogeneity are lush. in the last decade, much knowledge has been acumulated about the genetics of neurodegenerative diseases, making it essential in cases of motor neuron disease and frontotemporal dementia the repeat expansions of C9orf72 gene. This review analyzes the main clinical, radiological and genetic aspects of the phenotypes related to the hexanucleotide repeat expansions (GGGGCC) of C9orf72 gene. Future studies will aim to further characterize the neuropsychological, imaging and pathological aspects of the extra-motor features of motor neuron disease, and will help to provide a new classification system that is both clinically and biologically relevant.Universidade Federal de São Paulo, Dept Neurol & Neurocirurgia, Div Doencas Neuromusculares, São Paulo, BrazilUniversidade Federal de São Paulo, Dept Neurol & Neurocirurgia, Div Doencas Neuromusculares, São Paulo, BrazilWeb of Scienc
