Correlation of polygenic risk score and clinical phenotype in patients with genetic generalized epilepsy

Abstract Objective The polygenic risk score (PRS) for individuals with genetic generalized epilepsy (GGE) quantifies the common risk variants in genes identified in genome‐wide association studies. We hypothesized that the phenotype of GGE patients differs based on their GGE PRS....

A Novel Approach to Characterizing Patterns of Real-World Upper-Extremity Use During Walking and Activities of Daily Living in People with Subacute Stroke

In accelerometer-based measurement, the inclusion of upper extremity (UE) activity during walking can overestimate real-world functional UE use in people post-stroke. This study introduces a comprehensive, accelerometer-based approach to examining real-world UE use, including the...
