An attempt of identifying MS-associated loci as a follow-up of a genomic linkage study in the Italian population.

Subsequent to a genomic linkage study on Sardinian and Continental Italian families, we considered the possibility that some of the tested microsatellite markers showed association to MS. Markers selected on the basis of the data obtained in the original set of 70 multiplex families were tested for MS association in an additional set of 154 simplex families. A limited set of markers were further tested on an additional set of 100 simplex families. The results indicate the presence of a putative MS gene in 19q13.13.

Disappearance of motor tics after Wernicke's encephalopathy in a patient with Tourette's syndrome.

Tourette's syndrome (TS) is a disease characterized by multiple motor and vocal tics as well as behavioral abnormalities. The anatomic substrates of this syndrome are not defined. We report a 48-year-old man with TS in whom motor tics disappeared after the onset of a midbrain syndrome related to thiamine deficiency (Wernicke's encephalopathy). MRI study showed a lesion in the dorsal area of the midbrain. This case suggests that loops located in the midbrain tegmentum may influence the presence of motor tics in patients with TS.
