    Extractions: Corticobasal degeneration is a rare progressive neurological disorder characterized by cell loss and shrinkage (atrophy) in certain areas of the brain (cerebral cortex and substantia nigra). Affected individuals may have sufficient muscle power for manual tasks but often have difficulty directing their movements appropriately. Initial symptoms typically appear in people during the sixth decade, and may include poor coordination, difficulty accomplishing goal-directed tasks (e.g., buttoning a shirt), and/or difficulty pantomiming actions. Symptoms usually begin on one side of the body (unilateral), but both sides may be affected as the disease progresses. Cognitive impairment (e.g., memory loss) and/or visual-spatial impairments may also occur. The exact cause of corticobasal degeneration is unknown.

    Extractions: Accueil Le laboratoire Maladie d'Alzheimer Autres maladies ... Base de donnŽes Corticobasal degeneration, a 4R tauopathy Corticobasal degeneration (CBD) is a slowly progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by an asymmetrical akinetic-rigid syndrome associated with cognitive (apraxia and aphasia) and extrapyramidal motor dysfunction (rigidity and dystonia). Moderate dementia emerges sometimes late in the course of the disease (Rinne et al., 1994). There is an overlap between progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and CBD (Feany et al., 1996), and it would be most helpful to distinguish these two pathologies on a neuropathological or immunochemical basis. By comparison, CBD is less prevalent, and usually dysplays a more severe cortical atrophy with fronto-parietal predominance partly sparing the central area. Neuropathology : Cytoskeletal pathology is complex, in that it combines conspicuous chromatolytic neurons in large numbers without argentophilic inclusions. Cortico glio-fibrillar plaques have also been described, as well as aberrant neurites in the white matter. The degenerative pathology of the basal ganglia and rhombencephalon is not as sharply targeted on specific nuclei as in PSP, and also involves a striking number of chromatolytic neurons. Astrocytic laques are large with a hollow center, while those from PSP are stained with anti-tau in their center, (tuffed plaques). Tau lesions in PSP and CBD are exclusively composed of tau isoforms with exon 10 (Sergeant et al, 1999)

    Extractions: E^ ToD The biochemical parameters of tau pathology Introduction: Tau is an outstanding biochemical marker of neurofibrillary degeneration (NFD), well correlated with clinical manifestations. Tau pathology concerns many familial or sporadic neurodegenerative disorders , such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), corticobasal degeneration (CBD), Pick's disease (PiD), FTDP-17, myotonic dystrophy (MyoD), and many other diseases. Molecular parameters of Tau pathology help to understand the involvement of tau in the physiopathology of these diseases and to set up diagnoses and therapeutic strategies. Six main features define tau pathology: 1) the quantitative aspects, using western blots ; 2) the different biochemical signatures observed in AD, PSP, CBD, PiD, MyoD (one to four immunodetected electrophoretic bands); 3) the specific tau isoforms content of brain lesions. Indeed, "disease-specific" sets of tau isoforms aggregate to constitute 4 main categories of tau lesions: class 1: AD (all 6 isoforms), class 2: PSP/CBD (3 Exon10+ isoforms), class 3: PiD (3 Exon10- isoforms) and class 4: MyoD (mainly and sometimes exclusively the shortest tau isoform);

    Extractions: Corticobasal Degeneration Corticobasal Degeneration (CBD) is clinically and pathologically similar to PSP . Age at onset is typically in the 7th decade, and the predominant symptoms are motor dysfunctions, including rigidity, ataxia, dysarthria, Parkinson’s-like signs, and in some cases, supranuclear gaze palsy. These symptoms and the underlying pathology frequently are asymmetric. CBD also exhibits clinical signs of cortical involvement: constructional apraxia (inability to perform complex movements), “alien hand” sign, and frontal dementia. Neuropathology involves the basal ganglia, corticospinal tracts, and parietal and frontal cortices. In the cortex white matter is as much involved as gray. Two types of neuronal pathology are observed: ballooned achromatic neurons that lack tau inclusions, and neurons with tau inclusions that resemble Pick bodies. As with PSP, glial involvement is massive, and includes coiled bodies and glial threads in the white matter. The astrocytic pathology consists of astrocytic plaques , rather than the tufted astrocytes of PSP.

Researchers are attempting to establish whether the cause of CBD may be related to a mutation of the tau gene.

    Extractions: Corticobasal degeneration is one of the neurodegenerative tauopathies, which are defined as a group of heterogeneous dementias and movement disorders that are characterized neuropathologically by prominent intracellular accumulations of abnormal filaments formed by the microtubule-associated protein tau. Although there are no curative treatments, symptomatic and supportive management can be helpful. Many new therapies are still under development. However, more needs to be learned about the pathogenesis and molecular biology of this disease before an effective therapy can be developed.
