TL;DR: In this article, the authors carried out a genome-wide association study comparing 20,806 ALS cases and 59,804 controls and found that mutations predominantly in the N-terminal motor domain of KIF5A are causative for hereditary spastic paraplegia (SPG10) and Charcot-Marie-Tooth Type 2 (CMT2).
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome: a cause of acute delirium.
TL;DR: A 52-year-old man with severe OSAS is described with sudden onset of delirium and with a fluctuating nighttime course, prolonged for several days, which disappeared after treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP).
