International audience. APTX gene mutations responsible for ataxia-oculomotor apraxia 1 (AOA1) were identified in a family previously reported with ataxia and coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) deficiency. We measured muscle CoQ10 levels in six patients with AOA1 and found decreased levels in five. Patients homozygous for the W279X mutation had lower values (p = 0.003). A therapeutic trial of CoQ10 may be warranted in patients with AOA1.

BACKGROUND: Autosomal dominant parkinsonism (ADP) is caused in a large percentage of familial and sporadic cases by mutations in the LRRK2 gene, particularly G2019S. It is also caused by mutations in genes associated with autosoma...
