    Summary: In this review, we describe the nonhematological manifestations of MLS in comparison with those of VPS13A disease. While there are many similarities, differences such as mode of inheritance, sex distribution, age at manifestation, severity of heart involvement, frequency of feeding dystonia or of involuntary head drops may help to distinguish these disorders in the clinic. Immunohematological demonstration of the McLeod-Kell phenotype or detection of pathogenic mutations of
    Key messages: (1) Patients diagnosed with the rare red cell McLeod phenotype (McLeod syndrome, MLS) require interdisciplinary collaboration of transfusion medicine specialists, neurologists, and cardiologists for both their hematological and nonhematological disease manifestations. (2) The phenotypical similarity of MLS and VPS13A disease, often leading to either confusion or insufficient diagnostic depth (under the label of "neuroacanthocytosis"), is based on interaction of the respective proteins, XK and chorein, within the cellular machinery for bulk lipid transport. (3) Overall, the term "bulk lipid transport diseases" seems useful for further research on a group of conditions that may not only share pathophysiology, but may also share treatment approaches.

    Abstract Introduction: Muscle spindles are crucial for neuronal regulation of striated muscles, but their presence and involvement in the superficial perineal muscles is not known.
    Methods: Bulbospongiosus and ischiocavernosus muscle specimens were obtained from 31 human cadavers. Serial sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin, Sirius red, antibodies against Podocalyxin, myosin heavy chain isoforms (MyHC-slow tonic, S46; MyHC-2a/2x, A4.74), and neurofilament for the purpose of muscle spindle screening, counting, and characterization.
    Results: A low but consistent number of spindles were detected in both muscles. The muscles contained few intrafusal fibers, but otherwise showed normal spindle morphology. The extrafusal fibers of both muscles were small in diameter.
    Conclusions: The presence of muscle spindles in bulbospongiosus and ischiocavernosus muscles supports physiological models of pelvic floor regulation and may provide a basis for further clinical observations regarding sexual function and micturition. The small number of muscle spindles points to a minor level of proprioceptive regulation.

    Abstract Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal disorder characterized by degeneration of the upper and lower motor neuron. Among the at least 25 known genes associated with familial (hereditary) and sporadic ALS, mutations in fused-in-sarcoma (FUS) and superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) have been extensively investigated in the past years, with emphasis on altered excitability of affected neurons. Recently, we reported on hypoexcitability and increased cell death in a FUS/SOD1-ALS-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived motor neuron model, which was partly reversible by a treatment with the potassium channel blocker 4-aminopyridine (4-AP). Based on this study, we aimed to examine this US Food and Drug Administration-approved drug as a potential individualized treatment for patients with ALS. We therefore retrospectively investigated 4 FUS/SOD1-ALS patients who were prescribed 4-AP. Two patients expressed an improved quality of life due to regain of facial muscle motor function and decreased disease progression rate, respectively. Together with recent pathophysiologic findings, this case series supports the need for clinical trials to examine the efficacy of this potential treatment in distinct ALS subgroups and disease stages.

    Abstract MDS-criteria for clinical diagnosis of progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) were recently published, their usability in a classical clinical setting is yet unknown. We retrospectively applied the new criteria using PSP patients' case files. Assignment of PSP diagnosis according to the MDS-criteria was possible in 57/80 cases. The main difference to former specialist classification was a lower phenotype diversity and higher representation of PSP-RS. Furthermore, we examined those patients' brain MRIs. While neuroradiologists' reports were suggestive of PSP only in 11/62, the analysis of a blinded rater revealed pathological midbrain-to-pons-ratio in 40/62 implying this imaging feature is often missed.

    Abstract Introduction: Chorea-acanthocytosis (ChAc) is a rare hereditary neurodegenerative disease, characterized by hyper- and hypokinetic movement disorders, peripheral neuropathy and acanthocytosis. Biomarkers are not established; possible candidates include neurofilament reflecting neuroaxonal damage.
    Methods: We studied serum neurofilament light chain (sNfL) of six ChAc patients compared to two healthy control cohorts (A, six age/sex matched and B, historical cohort of 59 healthy adult subjects) and in two patients with the very similar condition of McLeod syndrome (MLS), the second core syndrome of neuroacanthocytosis. sNfL was quantified using single-molecule array analysis.
    Results: sNfL concentration was significantly higher in the ChAc cohort (18.73 pg/ml; IQR 15.65-27.70) compared to both healthy control cohorts (A, 7.37 pg/ml; IQR 5.60-9.05; B, 3.10 pg/ml; IQR 2.43-3.98). In MLS patients, a similar sNfL increase was observed.
    Conclusions: sNfL is significantly increased in ChAc and MLS and seems to reflect neuroaxonal damage in the peripheral as well as the central nervous system.

    Abstract Neuroacanthocytosis (NA) syndromes are a group of rare diseases characterized by neurological disorders and misshaped spiky red blood cells (acanthocytes) including Chorea-Acanthocytosis (ChAc), McLeod syndrome (MLS), Huntington disease-like 2 (HDL 2), pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration (PKAN), abeta- and hypobetalipoproteinemia and aceruloplasminemia. This clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of diseases shares main clinical features presenting most often as a hyperkinetic movement disorder. Even though these are long noted disease conditions, we still know only little on the underlying disease mechanisms. The current review focuses upon ChAc as the core entity of NA syndromes caused by mutations in the VPS13A gene. The support of patient organizations and the ERA-NET initiative yielded to different multidisciplinary efforts with significant progress on our understanding of ChAc. Disturbances in two pathways are currently considered to be significantly involved in the pathophysiology of ChAc, namely elevated Lyn kinase phosphorylation and decreased signaling via Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K). These recent developments may reveal potential drugable targets for causative therapies of ChAc.
