Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is a highly promising blood-biomarker indicating ICH. In this study, we investigated the potential of a new GFAP test run on a point-of-care platform for distinguishing ICH from ischemic stroke (IS) and stroke mimics (SM) in the prehospital phase.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>This prospective diagnostic accuracy study was conducted at the RKH Klinikum Ludwigsburg, a tertiary care hospital in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Patients with symptoms of acute stroke admitted within 6 hours of symptom onset were enrolled. Blood samples were collected in the prehospital phase. Plasma GFAP measurements were performed on the i-STAT-Alinity device (duration: 15 minutes) in-hospital.

GFAP concentrations were elevated in patients with ICH (n = 76; median 208 pg/mL [interquartile range 60-5,907]) compared with IS (n = 258; 30 pg/mL [29-51]) and SM (n = 19; 48 pg/mL [29-97]; <i>p</i> < 0.001). The optimal GFAP cutoff point to differentiate ICH from IS and SM was 55 pg/mL (area under the curve of 0.880, 95% CI 0.834-0.925, <i>p</i> < 0.001). IS and SM GFAP levels slightly increased in parallel with increasing age. Hence, different GFAP cutoff points were determined to identify ICH across 3 age groups with moderate to high positive predictive values (PPVs) (90.0%-95.5%; minimum lower CI 55.0%, maximum upper CI 99.3%) (sensitivity values 56.3%-72.4%, specificity values 98.9%-99.0% and negative predictive values [NPVs] 87.5%-92.7%).

MLD is characterized by demyelination and neurodegeneration of the central and peripheral nervous system, manifesting as progressive motor and cognitive defects in affected individuals. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the significant progress made in MLD research in the past decade, regarding natural history, disease and treatment mechanisms, and newborn screening (NBS). Traditionally, MLD has been classified according to age at onset (late-infantile, early-juvenile and late-juvenile, and adult MLD), with earlier forms leading to more rapid neurologic decline. New data show that the type of presenting symptoms further influences the dynamic of disease progression. Patients with a cognitive presentation have a much slower or even no motor decline than patients with a mixed motor and cognitive presentation. Research advancements have enabled improved understanding of the effects of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and the development of novel therapeutic approaches, including hematopoietic stem cell gene therapy, which is now authorized in the EU, United Kingdom, and United States as treatment for selected patients with early-onset forms of MLD. Both hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and hematopoietic stem cell gene therapy are most effective when administered before disease onset. To identify presymptomatic patients, NBS for MLD is becoming available in several countries, resulting in new challenges. Decisions regarding patient eligibility for these treatments in already symptomatic individuals, as well as the timing of treatment for patients identified through NBS, require thorough understanding of disease progression. Biomarkers may be helpful for disease staging and prediction of disease evolution. Moreover, apart from timing, challenges remain regarding optimal treatment strategies across MLD subtypes, especially late-onset MLD, and management of the clinical heterogeneity and course of the disease. Another important issue is ensuring therapy accessibility, which forms a substantial barrier for equitable care. Continued research and international collaboration are essential to address these challenges, with the goal of improving care and outcomes for patients with MLD and their families.</p>","PeriodicalId":19256,"journal":{"name":"Neurology","volume":"105 2","pages":"e213817"},"PeriodicalIF":7.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12205745/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144512220","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These range from simple febrile seizures to more severe conditions, including developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs). Despite previous analyses suggesting that pathogenic variants may lead to loss-of-function (LoF) receptors, a correlation between functional analysis and clinical phenotypic diversity remains elusive. We, therefore, aimed to determine why variants in the <i>GABRG2</i> gene can lead to highly diverse phenotypes.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>We assembled a cohort of unreported probands carrying presumed pathogenic <i>GABRG2</i> variants. Electroclinical information was systematically collected, and electrophysiologic measurements were conducted for missense variants to explore potential alterations in receptor function.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>We examined 44 individuals with 35 <i>GABRG2</i> variants (18 null and 17 missense). Functional assessments of the missense variants revealed that 9 caused LoF and 3 caused gain-of-function (GoF). The remaining 5 did not alter receptor function and are likely not pathogenic. Based on functional analysis and electroclinical data, 37 affected individuals were categorized into 3 groups: null LoF, missense LoF, and GoF variants. Among 19 individuals with null variants, epilepsy was diagnosed in 13, with a median onset of 14 months. The remaining 6 of 19 only had febrile seizures. Developmental delay/intellectual disability (DD/ID) was observed in 1 of 19 and psychiatric features in 4 of 18. By contrast, all 12 individuals with missense LoF variants suffered from epilepsy with a median onset of 15 months. Most common epilepsy diagnoses were febrile seizures plus in 4 of 12 and DEE in 4 of 12. DD/ID affected 9 of 12, and psychiatric features were diagnosed in 8 of 12. Statistical comparisons revealed that null variants were associated with a milder phenotype than missense LoF variants. Finally, 5 of 6 individuals with GoF variants had DEE characterized by early infancy onset at 2 months and severe/profound DD/ID. The sixth individual exhibited mild DD/ID and hypotonia without seizures.</p><p><strong>Discussion: </strong>Our findings indicate that the severity of disease associated with pathogenic <i>GABRG2</i> variants depends on the functional consequences of the variants. Null variants are associated with a mild phenotype and missense LoF variants with an intermediate phenotype while GoF variants can lead to severe phenotypes.</p>","PeriodicalId":19256,"journal":{"name":"Neurology","volume":"105 2","pages":"e213644"},"PeriodicalIF":7.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12202131/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144507121","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
