A New Presenilin-1 Missense Variant Associated With a Progressive Supranuclear Palsy-like Phenotype.

ABSTRACT

Early-onset forms of Alzheimer disease (AD) have been associated with pathogenic variants in the APP , PSEN1 , and PSEN2 genes. Mutations in presenilin-1 ( PSEN1 ) account for the majority of cases of autosomal dominant AD. Numerous phenotypes have been associated with PSEN1 -pathogenic variants, including cerebellar ataxia and spastic paraplegia. Here, we describe a patient with early-onset AD presenting with extrapyramidal symptoms and supranuclear gaze palsy, mimicking progressive supranuclear palsy.
