Marie Vidailhet Department of Neurology and ICM UPMC/ Inserm UMR-1127 University Pierre Marie Curie Paris-6 Salpêtrière Hospital, Paris, France Bedside examination Definition Chorea Clinical clues Erratic involuntary brief purposeless movements Non repetitive, randomly distributed, irregularly timed, Age at onset Acute/ progressive Familial history Associated clues Streptococal Infection Pregnancy Hypotonia APL, polyglobulia, etc. Drugs Associated signs: dementia, behavior, eye movements, neuropathy, ataxia Distribution (focal lesions) Progressive onset, 40 years-old, behavioral disorders, cognitive decline Facial chorea Huntington s disease CAG repeat (huntingtin) 1

2 Akinetic presentation Dementia in HD dysexecutive syndrome, reduced verbal fluency, apathy, bradyphrenia, relative preservation of language and memory, dementia of HD patients Family history Dystonia Rigidity akinesia Juvenile form (large number of CAG repeats, paternal transmission) Caudate atrophy Focal dystonia, may be also the first symptom in autosomal dominant ataxia (SCA1, SCA 2, SCA3, SCA6, SCA7, SCA17, DRPLA) or recessive EAO1 (aprataxin) Not a treatment yet, but some hope GPi-DBS attenuated chorea Long term beneficial effect on chorea despite progression of other symptoms Kang GA et al JNNP 2011,Gruber et al J Neural Transmission 2014, Gonzales V et al J Neurosurg 2014 dietary anaplerotic therapy: triheptanoin replenishing the pool of metabolic intermediates in the Krebs cycle Neurology 2015;84: Other types of hereditary chorea DRPLA Huntington like syndromes HDL-1/ PRNP (a few families) HDL-2/ JPH-3 junctophilin3 (Africa) HDL-3, SCA 17 Rare: C9orf72 mutation, SCA2 Neuro-acanthocytosis Inorganic phosphate (Pi)/phosphocreatine (PCr) ratio: an outcome measure of brain metabolic dysfunction in patients with HD visual activation with 6-Hz red/black checkerboard flashes Occipital cortex metabolism «benin» hereditary chorea DRPLA Dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy Other types of chorea : Clues Variable age at onset Chorea, myoclonus, dystonia, parkinsonism Ataxia Dementia, psychosis Epilepsy (may be severe i.e. progressive myoclonus epilepsy) Patients with progressive myoclonus epilepsy (PME) phenotype: larger expansions (62-79 repeats) earlier ages of onset (onset before age 20). autosomal dominant CAG repeat (CTG-B37 triplet repeat expansion) Atrophin-1 gene clinically overlaps with Huntington's disease combination of chorea, myoclonus, seizures, ataxia, and dementia. 2

3 Other types of chorea : Clues Neuroacanthocytosis Young adult onset Chorea, myoclonus, dystonia, parkinsonism Ataxia Oromandibular dystonia Areflexia Dementia, psychosis Other types of chorea : Clues Young onset (childhood) Some improvement in adulthood Chorea, myoclonus, dystonia, Ataxia (that may be early in life and disappears) No Dementia chorea-acanthocytosis (ChAc), autosomal recessive rare autosomal recessive disorder, VPS13A gene, encoding chorein wide spectrum of symptoms that may vary over time Dystonia lower face and tongue precipitated by eating, speech and swallowing difficulties neck ( head drops ) and truncal flexion/extension movements gait can appear bizarre and rubbery, with buckling at the knees and hips bradykinesia usually develops later Areflexia Psychiatric symptoms, cognitive decline seizures are seen in approximately 40% of patients with ChAc Acanthocytes, increased CPK Mac Leod similar features with neuropathy and myopathy X linked: XK gene Walker RH, Tremor Other Hyperkinet Mov 2015 Benign hereditary chorea NKX2-1 gene (previously called TITF1), essential for organogenesis of the basal ganglia, thyroid lung rare autosomal dominant disorder childhood onset that tends to improve in adulthood. Hypotonia and chorea in early infancy, with delayed walking ability dystonia, myoclonus, tics, ADHD may be associated over time Learning difficulties in some, mental retardation may be present Various combinations of, thyroid (67%) and lung (46%) features beneficial effect of tetrabenazine (even in children) Gras D, et al JNNP
