  2. Primary lateral sclerosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_lateral_sclerosis

    Primary lateral sclerosis (PLS) usually presents with gradual-onset, progressive, lower-extremity stiffness and pain due to muscle spasticity. Onset is often asymmetrical. [ 2 ] Although the muscles do not appear to atrophy as in ALS (at least initially), the disabling aspect of PLS is muscle spasticity and cramping, and intense pain when those ...

    [1] [2] They include amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), [3] [4] progressive bulbar palsy (PBP), pseudobulbar palsy, progressive muscular atrophy (PMA), primary lateral sclerosis (PLS), spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) and monomelic amyotrophy (MMA), as well as some rarer variants resembling ALS. Motor neuron diseases affect both children and ...

    Juvenile primary lateral sclerosis has an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance, meaning both copies of the gene in each cell are altered. Juvenile primary lateral sclerosis ( JPLS ) also known as primary lateral sclerosis, juvenile ( PLSJ ), is a very rare genetic disorder , with a small number of reported cases, characterized by ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ALS

    Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as motor neurone disease (MND) or (in the United States) Lou Gehrig's disease (LGD), is a rare, terminal neurodegenerative disorder that results in the progressive loss of both upper and lower motor neurons that normally control voluntary muscle contraction.

    Located at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital and Columbia University Irving Medical Center, they have a clinical and research function directed at ALS and the related motor neuron diseases primary lateral sclerosis and progressive muscular atrophy.

    Primary lateral sclerosis, progressive muscle weakness in the voluntary muscles. Primary sclerosing cholangitis, a hardening of the bile duct by scarring and repeated inflammation. Systemic sclerosis (progressive systemic scleroderma), a rare, chronic disease which affects the skin, and in some cases also blood vessels and internal organs.

  9. Harding ataxia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harding_ataxia

    Harding ataxia is an autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxia originally described by Harding in 1981. [1] This form of cerebellar ataxia is similar to Friedreich ataxia including that it results in poor reflexes and balance, but differs in several ways, including the absence of diabetes mellitus, optic atrophy, cardiomyopathy, skeletal abnormalities, and the fact that tendon reflexes in the arms ...
