    Abstract Background and purpose: Spinocerebellar ataxia type 15 (SCA15) is a degenerative, adult onset autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia, caused almost exclusively by deletions in the inositol 1,4,5 triphosphate receptor type 1 (ITPR1) gene (ITPR1). ITPR1 mediates calcium release from the endoplasmic reticulum, and particularly abounds in Purkinje cells. It plays a pivotal role in excitatory and inhibitory actions on Purkinje cells, and alterations in their balance cause cerebellar dysfunction in ITPR1 knockout mice. To date, only two single missense mutations have been reported to cause SCA15. They were considered pathogenic because cosegregation occurred with disease, and haploinsufficiency was hypothesized as their pathogenic mechanism.
    Methods: In this study, three Caucasian kindreds with different heterozygous missense variants in ITPR1 are reported. The main clinical manifestation was a slowly progressive gait ataxia with onset after 40 years of age, with chorea in two patients and hand tremor in another one, concordant with manifestations found in SCA15.
    Results: The three missense variants identified in ITPR1 were c.1594G>A; p.(Ala532Thr) in Kindred A, c.56C>T; p.(Ala19Val) in Kindred B, and c.256G>A; p.(Ala86Thr) in Kindred C. Every variant was labelled as of unknown significance; however, each one cosegregated with disease and was predicted to be pathogenic by in silico tests.
    Conclusions: The three ITPR1 missense variants found in this study exhibited cosegregation with disease, a result that sustains their pathogenicity. Further studies are needed to confirm the role of missense mutations in SCA15.

    Abstract Management of infertile couples should focus on the effects of their professional environment and quality of life, such as stress, smoking, alcohol, weight, diet, and the use of electronic devices. It should also focus on reducing these negative factors and improving the couples' quality of life in conjunction with assisted reproduction treatments. The challenge for human reproduction now, and in the decades to come, is to introduce the concept of "ecofertility" in our practices. Early education and prevention are essential to preserve fertility.

    Abstract Introduction: Homocysteine (Hcy) is a cellular poison, side product of the hydrolysis of S-Adenosyl Homocysteine, produced after the universal methylation effector S -Adenosylmethionine liberates a methyl group to recipient targets. It inhibits the methylation processes and its rising is associated with multiple disease states and ultimately is both a cause and a consequence of oxidative stress, affecting male gametogenesis. We have determined hyper homocysteinhemia (HHcy) levels can be reliably reduced in hypofertile patients in order to decrease/avoid associated epigenetic problems and protect the health of future children, in consideration of the fact that treatment with high doses of folic acid is inappropriate.
    Methods: Homocysteine levels were screened in male patients consulting for long-standing infertility associated with at least three failed Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) attempts and/or repeat miscarriages. Seventy-seven patients with Hcy levels > 15 µM were treated for three months with a combination of micronutrients including 5- MethylTetraHydroFolate (5-MTHF), the compound downstream to the MTHFR enzyme, to support the one carbon cycle; re-testing was performed at the end of a 3 months treatment period. Genetic status for Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase (MTHFR) Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) 677CT (c.6777C > T) and 1298AC (c.1298A > C) was determined.
    Results: Micronutrients/5-MTHF were highly efficient in decreasing circulating Hcy, from averages 27.4 to 10.7 µM, with a mean observed decrease of 16.7 µM. The MTHFR SNP 677TT (homozygous form) and combined heterozygous 677CT/1298AC status represent 77.9% of the patients with elevated Hcy.
    Discussion: Estimation HHcy should not be overlooked in men suffering infertility of long duration. MTHFR SNPs, especially 677TT, are a major cause of high homocysteinhemia (HHcy). In these hypofertile patients, treatment with micronutrients including 5-MTHF reduces Hcy and even allows spontaneous pregnancies post treatment. This type of therapy should be considered in order to ensure these patients' quality of life and avoid future epigenetic problems in their descendants.

    Abstract Cerebellar ataxia preceding the apparition of primary lateral sclerosis (PLS) is reported herein. Three individuals from 2 independent kindreds experienced ataxia before developing clinical signs of PLS. Disease onset was during the sixth decade or later, and an insidious onset, with progression exceeding 11 years, was observed. Pathochrony was homogenous, consisting of initial gait instability, followed by hand dysmetria 2 years later. During a 5-year follow-up, cerebellar ataxia remained the sole clinical manifestation, preceding the appearance of muscle stiffness, which progressed to a paraparesis, and then to a purely spastic quadriparesis, over 4 years; pseudobulbar dysarthria and dysphagia appeared later. At this disease stage, limb spasticity, hyperactive jaw and limb stretch reflexes, extensor plantar responses, and a spastic dysarthria were found on examination; limb dysmetria and an ataxo-spastic gait were also found. No muscle atrophy or fasciculation was observed. Among ancillary tests, electromyographic studies performed 6 years after disease onset revealed normal motor unit action potentials and absence of spontaneous activity, in 2 individuals. MRI revealed normal cerebellum and brainstem in 2 cases. Inheritance was dominant in both kindreds, and extensive genetic testing was negative. It is concluded that cerebellar ataxia preceded the appearance of a purely spastic spinobulbar syndrome (which fulfilled the clinical diagnostic criteria for PLS) during a 5-year period in 3 patients with a hereditary, adult-onset form of PLS; subsequent disease progression was equivalent to that of sporadic PLS. Further studies are needed to fully delineate the clinical and genetic spectra of adult-onset PLS.
