This book provides up-to-date information on various inherited neurological disorders, presenting 40 cases of inherited neurological disorders with genetic diagnosis and/or pathological confirming. These disorders include cerebellar ataxia (SCA1, SCA2, SCA3, etc.), epileptic attacks related disorders (MELAS, MERRF, TSC, etc.), motor neuron related disorders (ALS, HSP, CMT, etc.), movement disorders (PD, PKD, DRD, etc.), ion channel diseases (hypokalemic periodic paralysis, normal potassium periodic paralysis), muscle diseases (DMD, FSHD, LSM, etc.), and dementia and psychiatric disorders (HD, CADASIL, CARASIL, etc.).
