Genotype-Phenotype Relations for the Atypical Parkinsonism Genes: MDSGene Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT: This Movement Disorder Society Genetic mutation database Systematic Review focuses on monogenic atypical parkinsonism with mutations in the ATP13A2, DCTN1, DNAJC6, FBXO7, SYNJ1, and VPS13C genes. We screened 673 citations and extracted genotypic and phenotypic data for 140 patients (73 families) from 77 publications. In an exploratory fashion, we applied an automated classification procedure via an ensemble of bootstrap-aggregated ("bagged") decision trees to distinguish these 6 forms of monogenic atypical parkinsonism and found a high accuracy of 86.5% (95%CI, 86.3%-86.7%) based on the following 10 clinical variables: age at onset, spasticity and pyramidal signs, hypoventilation, decreased body weight, minimyoclonus, vertical gaze palsy, autonomic symptoms, other nonmotor symptoms, levodopa response quantification, and cognitive decline. Comparing monogenic atypical with monogenic typical parkinsonism using 2063 data sets from Movement Disorder Society Genetic mutation database on patients with SNCA, LRRK2, VPS35, Parkin, PINK1, and DJ-1 mutations, the age at onset was earlier in monogenic atypical parkinsonism (24 vs 40 years; P = 1.2647 × 10^-12) and levodopa response less favorable than in patients with monogenic typical presentations (49% vs 93%). In addition, we compared monogenic to nonmonogenic atypical parkinsonism using data from 362 patients with progressive supranuclear gaze palsy, corticobasal degeneration, multiple system atrophy, or frontotemporal lobar degeneration. Although these conditions share many clinical features with the monogenic atypical forms, they can typically be distinguished based on their later median age at onset (64 years; IQR, 57-70 years). In conclusion, age at onset, presence of specific signs, and degree of levodopa response inform differential diagnostic considerations and genetic testing indications in atypical forms of parkinsonism. © 2021 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.

Project description:INTRODUCTION: Clinical variability associated with the common 22q11.2 microdeletion is well known, and has led to a broad application of FISH diagnostics with probes for loci TUPLE1 or D22S75 (N25), although, rarely reported atypical deletions associated with the same phenotypic spectrum would not be discovered by these probes. As most types of 22q11.2 deletions occur between low copy repeats within the region (LCR22), we assumed that atypical deletions should be more common than has been reported. To address this question and the possibility of a deletion size related genotype-phenotype correlation, we systematically assessed the frequency of typical and atypical 22q11.2 deletions in a large cohort of patients. METHODS: We used a set of 10 fluorescent in situ hybridisation (FISH) DNA probes, capable of detecting all reported and hypothetical deletions between the LCR22, and analysed 350 patients. Deletion sizes in atypical deletions were established by use of further FISH probes. Frequency of certain atypical deletions was analysed in controls by FISH and quantitative PCR. RESULTS: Patients with conotruncal heart defects (ctCHD) and with typical VCFS phenotype showed the common 3 Mb or nested 1.5 Mb deletions (in 18.5% and 78.6%, respectively), but no atypical deletion, while 5% (3/63) of patients with a mildly suggestive, atypical phenotype showed atypical distal deletions, which were not detected in patients with mental retardation of unknown origin or in healthy controls. DISCUSSION: These statistically significant differences demonstrate that atypical distal 22q11.2 deletions are very uncommon in patients with ctCHDs, while atypical congenital heart defects and mild dysmorphism are recognisable feature of atypical distal deletions. Further phenotype-genotype analysis disclosed association of significant developmental delay with the distal part of the common deletion region, and choanal atresia and atypical CHDs with the adjacent distal deletion region.

Project description:Importance: Trimetazidine (TMZ) is a medication given to patients with stable coronary artery disease. While it is reportedly well-tolerated, there are increasing numbers of reports of adverse events such as parkinsonism. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to systematically review the currently available literature on TMZ-induced parkinsonism. Evidence Review: A search of Scopus, MEDLINE, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, the Health Technology Assessment Database, PubMed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar was conducted on or before November 7, 2019. The literature search included cohort studies, prospective and/or retrospective studies, meta-analysis, and other systematic reviews published as an original article, including abstracts and full texts. We included patients taking TMZ who developed one or more of the parkinsonian symptoms of bradykinesia, tremors, rigidity, and postural instability, where these symptoms improved after withdrawal of the said medication. Findings: There are currently five studies on TMZ use and associated parkinsonism. The literature included two case reports, one case series, and one retrospective and one prospective study. We found no results from randomized clinical trials. Overall, 88 patients developed TMZ-induced parkinsonism. Regression of parkinsonism was reported in all of the participants after withdrawal of TMZ. A total of 49 patients (55.7%) had complete regression of symptoms, while 39 patients (44.3%) had significant reduction of symptoms. The duration between TMZ (dose, 60-80 mg/day) intake and onset of symptoms ranged from 4 months to 20 years. The most commonly reported extrapyramidal symptoms were akinesia, rigidity, postural disturbances, and gait disorders, which were usually mild and symmetric. Conclusions and Relevance: The current literature suggests that TMZ can induce parkinsonism that is reversible with drug withdrawal. It is warranted to examine patients, especially the elderly, on TMZ for parkinsonian symptoms and those with pre-existing neurodegenerative diseases. Further studies are needed to assess the risk-benefit ratio of this drug, especially in the elderly age group.
