Abstract: | Early onset familial Alzheimer's disease with spastic paraparesis (FAD-SP) has been associated with mutations of the presenilin 1 gene (PSEN1). We report a pedigree of FAD-SP due to a novel missense mutation of PSEN1 (Y154N). The symptoms of the proband were characterized by presenile dementia in her 40s, preceded by spastic paraparesis in her 30s, whereas the mother of the proband presented with spastic paraparesis in her 40s, followed by symptoms of dementia in her mid 60s. The mutation was found only in the proband, and not in a normal family member, normal Japanese control subjects, patients with sporadic Alzheimer's disease or patients with familial spastic paraparesis without dementia. Thus, Y154N is a novel PSEN1 mutation responsible for FAD-SP of Japanese origin. |
