| Abstract |
Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder of unknown etiology that presents with variable combinations of progressive ataxia, parkinsonism, and autonomic instability. Pathologic expansion of a hexanucleotide repeat in the C9orf72 gene has been demonstrated to cause neurodegeneration with diverse neurologic presentations. To test the hypothesis whether pathologic expansions in C9orf72 are a cause of MSA, we undertook genetic screening in 100 neuropathologically confirmed cases. No pathologic repeat expansions were detected suggesting that MSA is not a C9orf72-related neurodegenerative disease. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 05 October 2014.
All research outputs
#22,756,649
of 25,371,288 outputs
Outputs from Neurobiology of Aging
#4,224
of 4,418 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#214,306
of 250,094 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Neurobiology of Aging
#95
of 107 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,371,288 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,418 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 10.6. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 250,094 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 107 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
