Acronyms
warning

"Neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease is caused by a GGC repeat expansion in the 5’UTR region of the NOTCH2NLC gene, with pathogenic expansion defined as ≥60 repeats (normal ≤40 repeats) 10. This mutation may be inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern."

Line 35:59 · 'GGC' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.

"Less common radiological features include T2/FLAIR hyperintensities elsewhere, including the corpus callosum (~85%), cerebellar vermis and paravermian regions (~55%), brainstem (~40%), thalami (~30%), middle cerebellar peduncles (~25%), and focal cortical lesions (~10%) 4,6-9. The focal cortical lesions were more commonly seen in the temporoparietal and occipital lobes, may have gadolinium enhancement and focal cortical oedema with restricted diffusion on DWI, and are more likely to be seen in a subset of patients presenting clinically with encephalopathy-like episodes 6,8,9."
