RESUMO

Presenilin 1 (PSEN1) gene mutations are found in 30-70% of familial early-onset Alzheimer disease (EOAD) cases (onset <60 years). Prevalence of these mutations is highly variable including ethnic differences worldwide. No Peruvian kindred with familial AD (FAD) have been described. Standardized clinical evaluation and cognitive assessment were completed in a Peruvian family with severe EOAD. Clinical course was characterized by very early onset (before age 35 years), progressive cognitive impairment with early memory loss, spatial disorientation and executive dysfunction. We sequenced all exons of PSEN1 in the proband and identified a c.475C>G DNA change resulting in a p.L153V missense mutation in the transmembrane domain 2 of the gene. This mutation is also present in the three additional affected siblings but not in a non-affected family member consistent with segregation of this mutation with the disease. This is the first report of a Peruvian family affected with EOAD associated with a PSEN1 mutation. This same mutation has been reported previously in English and French families, but a novel variants very close to the mutation and ancestry informative markers analysis suggests the mutation might be of Amerindian or African origin in this Peruvian family.


Las mutaciones del gen de presenilina 1 (PSEN1) se encuentran en el 30-70% de los casos de enfermedad de Alzheimer de inicio temprano (EAIP) familiar (inicio <60 años). La prevalencia de estas mutaciones es muy variable, incluidas las diferencias étnicas en todo el mundo. No se han descrito parientes peruanos con EA familiar (EAF). Se realizó una evaluación clínica estandarizada y una evaluación cognitiva en una familia peruana con EAIP grave. El curso clínico se caracterizó por un inicio muy temprano (antes de los 35 años), deterioro cognitivo progresivo con pérdida temprana de memoria, desorientación espacial y disfunción ejecutiva. Secuenciamos todos los exones de PSEN1 en el probando e identificamos un cambio de ADN c.475C>G que resultó en una mutación sin sentido p.L153V en el dominio transmembrana 2 del gen. Esta mutación también está presente en los tres hermanos afectados adicionales, pero no en un miembro de la familia no afectado, lo que es consistente con la segregación de esta mutación con la enfermedad. Este es el primer informe de una familia peruana afectada con EAIP asociada con una mutación PSEN1. Esta misma mutación se ha informado previamente en familias inglesas y francesas, pero una nueva variante muy cercana a la mutación y el análisis de marcadores informativos de ascendencia sugieren que la mutación podría ser de origen amerindio o africano en esta familia peruana.

RESUMO

A random walk with exponentially varying step, modeling damped or amplified diffusion, is studied. Each step is equal to the previous one multiplied by a step factor s (01/s relating different processes. For s<1/2 and s>2, the process is retrodictive (i.e., every final position can be reached by a unique path) and the set of all possible final points after infinite steps is fractal. For step factors in the interval [1/2,2], some cases result in smooth density distributions, other cases present overlapping self-similarity and there are values of the step factor for which the distribution is singular without a density function.
