All About Hypertrophic Olivary Degeneration (HOD)

Hypertrophic Olivary Degeneration (HOD) is a rare neurological disease that can display Ataxia as a symptom. The National Ataxia Foundation is proud to host this webinar presented by Dr. Vikram Shakkotai on August 6th, 2024. In "All About HOD", he gave an overview of the causes and symptoms of HOD, the typical diagnostic journey for those affected, what to expect for clinical care, and an overview of current research into the disease. This information may also be helpful for individuals with MSA, SCA1, SCA2 and SCA7 who have olivary degeneration.

Ataxia Subreddit:   / ataxia   About the Speaker- Vikram Shakkotai, MD, PhD Institution: UT Southwestern Medical Center Bio: Vikram Shakkottai, MD, PhD obtained his medical degree at the Christian Medical College, Vellore, India, and his Ph.D. at the University of California, Irvine. He received his neurology residency training at Washington University/Barnes-Jewish hospital, and was a fellow in movement disorders at the University of Michigan. He joined the full-time faculty at University of Michigan in 2010. He moved to UTSW in 2021.The long-term goal of Dr. Shakkottai’s clinical and laboratory research is to determine whether alterations in neuronal physiology contribute to motor dysfunction and to translate preclinical murine model research to human clinical trials for cerebellar ataxia. Work in Dr. Shakkottai’s laboratory has identified shared dysfunction in the cerebellum in murine models of ataxia, with identification of several ion channels that act in concert, and converging on large-conductance calcium-activated potassium (BK) channels. BK channels are likely a key target for therapy in degenerative ataxias. About the Series: NAF is producing a series of monthly educational webinars that focus on one type of Ataxia at a time. Each month we will feature a different type. Clinical experts will join us to take a look at the causes and symptoms of the disease, the typical diagnostic journey for those affected, and what to expect for clinical care. Research experts will teach us how the disease is studied and give an overview of the current state of research and drug development.
