Findings

This mutation was identified in a patient diagnosed with rapidly progressing, early AD with extrapyramidal symptoms (Lou et al., 2017). In addition to the V391G mutation, the patient carried recessive gene variants associated with extrapyramidal disease (PANK2, SYNE1, ZNF592) and had several family members who had been diagnosed with extrapyramidal disorders, including Parkinson’s disease and head tremor. The proband’s first symptoms, difficulty walking and action tremor, appeared at age 23. Within six months, motor symptoms had progressed, including the development of dysarthria and spasmodic torticollis, and impairments in short-term memory, spatial and temporal orientation, and verbal fluency developed. The unaffected parents of the patient do not carry the mutation, suggesting the mutation arose de novo.

Neuropathology
Although neuropathology data are unavailable, MRI showed generalized mild cortical and subcortical atrophy, hippocampal shrinkage, and enlarged ventricles.

Biological Effect
The mutation was predicted to be probably damaging by in silico analyses, including SIFT, Poly-Phen-2, and Mutation Taster.
