GenoTools, a Python package, streamlines population genetics research by integrating ancestry estimation, quality control (QC), and genome-wide association studies (GWAS) capabilities into efficient pipelines. By tracking samples, variants, and quality-specific measures throughout fully customizable pipelines, users can easily manage genetics data for large and small studies.

Spinocerebellar ataxia 27B (SCA27B) is a common autosomal dominant ataxia caused by an intronic GAA•TTC repeat expansion in FGF14. Neuropathological studies have shown that neuronal loss is largely restricted to the cerebellum. Although the repeat locus is highly unstable during intergenerational transmission, it remains unknown whether it exhibits cerebral mosaicism and progressive instability throughout life.

Biallelic expansions of the AAGGG repeat in the replication factor C subunit 1 (RFC1) have recently been described to be responsible for the cerebellar ataxia, peripheral neuropathy and vestibular areflexia syndrome. This genetic alteration has also allowed genetic classification in up to one third of cases with idiopathic sensory neuropathy.

We should be celebrating. As clinical academic neurologists, the neurological landscape has never looked so promising. The role of clinical academics is to marry clinical experience with basic science research—taking research from the bench through the translational pathway into patient-focused clinical trials.

Accepted manuscripts are PDF versions of the author’s final manuscript, as accepted for publication by the journal but prior to copyediting or typesetting. They can be cited using the author(s), article title, journal title, year of online publication, and DOI. They will be replaced by the final typeset articles, which may therefore contain changes. The DOI will remain the same throughout.

Dear Editor,
“Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot”
Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot
The ongoing invasion of Ukraine, which began in 2014 and escalated in February 2022, is a daily reminder of the suffering inflicted by humanity, on humanity. However, amid this tragedy, a voice from Kiev reminds us of the power of competence and compassion within functional neurosurgery.

Whilst services should anticipate which psychological outcomes are most likely to need clinical attention, adequate time and effort should also go towards supporting those with less prevalent outcomes that may also affect quality of life. For example, though sleep difficulties were one of the least prevalent outcomes here, this does not presume that it has no impact on day-to-day functioning.
