Alien hand syndrome is best documented in cases where a person has had the two hemispheres of their brain surgically separated, a procedure sometimes used to relieve the symptoms of extreme cases of epilepsy. It also occurs in some cases after brain surgery, stroke, infection, tumor, aneurysm and specific degenerative brain conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease and Creutzfeldt Jakob disease. Other areas of the brain that are associated with alien hand syndrome are the frontal, occipital and parietal lobes. 4, record 2, English, - alien%20hand%20syndrome

[...] ce dérangement fait partie de ceux que les neurologues répertorient comme «mouvements involontaires complexes». Il consiste en des gestes des doigts et de la main, parfois accompagnés de saisie d'objets, d'agrippement des habits voire de conflit avec l'autre main qui est alors repoussée. Ceux-ci sont effectués avec une précision troublante pour l'entourage, parce qu'ils donnent l'impression d'intentionnalité. Leurs auteurs prennent plus souvent conscience des conséquences de ces mouvements que des gestes eux-mêmes. 6, record 2, French, - syndrome%20de%20la%20main%20%C3%A9trang%C3%A8re

The gene believed to be responsible for Barth syndrome has been identified by Dr. D. Toniolo of the Institute of Genetics in Pavia, Italy, and colleagues in the Netherlands and Australia. The gene had earlier been mapped to the very "gene-rich region in distal portion of Xq28. "Now Dr. Toniolo's group has traced the specific mutation to gene G4. 5, after finding high expression of the protein in skeletal and cardiac muscle. 1, record 3, English, - Barth%20syndrom
