Lewy body pathology in familial Alzheimer disease: evidence for disease- and mutation-specific pathologic phenotype.
BACKGROUND The origin and significance of Lewy bodies and neurites (Lewy body pathology [LBP]) in Alzheimer disease (AD) are poorly understood. OBJECTIVE To examine LBP in the brainstem, limbic cortex, and neocortex of a large number of familial AD cases with mutations in 2 presenilin (PSEN) genes. METHODS Twenty-five familial AD cases with 9 known PSEN 1 mutations and 14 familial AD cases ...
متن کاملAlzheimer and Lewy body pathology or Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
The objective of this work is to describe the neuropathological findings of a patient clinically presenting with rapidly progressive nonspecific neurological symptoms suggestive of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Methods used were clinical description with laboratory analyses, repeated electroencephalogram, cerebral computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging studies and details on neuropatholog...
متن کاملGBA mutations increase risk for Lewy body disease with and without Alzheimer disease pathology.
OBJECTIVES Mutations in the GBA gene occur in 7% of patients with Parkinson disease (PD) and are a well-established susceptibility factor for PD, which is characterized by Lewy body disease (LBD) neuropathologic changes (LBDNCs). We sought to determine whether GBA influences risk of dementia with LBDNCs, Alzheimer disease (AD) neuropathologic changes (ADNCs), or both. METHODS We screened the ...
متن کاملCommon inflammatory mechanisms in Lewy body disease and Alzheimer disease.
Cortical Lewy body disease as a cause of dementia has been recognized for more than 40 years. Only in the past 15 to 20 years, however, has the true frequency of this entity come to be appreciated, primarily because of the advent of sensitive and specific immunohistochemical diagnostic techniques. We now know that there is frequent and extensive overlap, both clinically and pathologically, betw...
متن کاملFamilial diffuse Lewy body disease, eye movement abnormalities, and distribution of pathology.
BACKGROUND Familial diffuse Lewy body disease (DLBD) is rare and not yet associated with a defect in the synuclein gene. In the differential diagnosis of the parkinsonian syndromes, defects in vertical gaze tend to be identified with progressive supranuclear palsy. False-positive diagnosis of progressive supranuclear palsy can occur, and defects in vertical gaze have been reported in DLBD, alth...
