ABSTRACT
Fused in sarcoma (FUS) mutations cause frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and motor neuron disease (MND). Here, we describe a 43-year-old man with progressive behavioral and cognitive change, myelopathy, clinical and electrophysiologic evidence of MND, and a FUS variant of unknown significance (VUS). This VUS, a heterozygous G559A transition (Gly187Ser), was previously reported in a patient with sporadic MND and affects important FUS biophysical properties. While this rare variant's presence in a second patient with a related neurodegenerative syndrome does not establish pathogenicity, it raises the question of whether its association with our patient is coincidental and increases the possibility that FUS G559A is pathogenic.
