dihydroxyphenylalanine and Ataxias, Hereditary

dihydroxyphenylalanine has been researched along with Ataxias, Hereditary in 3 studies

Dihydroxyphenylalanine: A beta-hydroxylated derivative of phenylalanine. The D-form of dihydroxyphenylalanine has less physiologic activity than the L-form and is commonly used experimentally to determine whether the pharmacological effects of LEVODOPA are stereospecific.
dopa : A hydroxyphenylalanine carrying hydroxy substituents at positions 3 and 4 of the benzene ring.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Two subjects presented with action tremor around age 10-12 years and developed tremor-dominant parkinsonism with prominent neuropsychiatric features later in their 20s."1.72WARS2 mutations cause dopa-responsive early-onset parkinsonism and progressive myoclonus ataxia. ( Berutti, R; Bonifati, V; Boumeester, V; Brunet, T; Gdovinova, Z; Han, V; Havrankova, P; Houlden, H; Jech, R; Kaiyrzhanov, R; Kuipers, DJS; Kulcsarova, K; Lackova, A; Mandemakers, W; Orec, L; Ostrozovicova, M; Pavelekova, P; Plecko, B; Rektorova, I; Rizig, M; Skorvanek, M; Steinfeld, R; Tijssen, MAJ; Wagner, M; Winkelmann, J; Zech, M, 2022)
"When all three categories of Parkinson's disease, MSA, and SRO were considered together, clinical and 18F-dopa PET findings correlated in 64% of patients assigned a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease and 70% of those given a diagnosis of SRO; MSA was less readily discriminated, patients with MSA being assigned to MSA, Parkinson's disease, and SRO groups with equal frequency."1.29Differential diagnosis of Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy, and Steele-Richardson-Olszewski syndrome: discriminant analysis of striatal 18F-dopa PET data.
