Familial progressive supranuclear palsy.
A progressive extrapyramidal syndrome and dementia occurred in three members of one family. The age of onset was in the seventh decade and the affected individuals showed many of the clinical features of progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). Necropsy of one individual revealed the neuropathological features of PSP. We propose that this family has a familial form of PSP and review the evidence i...
متن کاملProgressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP)
Introduction: Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder producing characteristic eye movement abnormalities in the classic presentation. The disease pathologically is marked by accumulation of abnormal tau proteins. There are useful MRI features, however the diagnosis remains clinical in the majority of cases, and no objective diagnostic test exists. Treatment at...
متن کاملProgressive supranuclear palsy.
This review concentrates on the molecular pathology of the protein tau, including its expression in various regions of the brain. The role of post-translational modifications in fibrillogenesis is also discussed, particularly hyperphosphorylation and glycation. However, the initiating event that causes aberrant tau processing remains unclear.

متن کاملGenetics of Progressive Supranuclear Palsy
Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a neurodegenerative syndrome that is clinically characterized by progressive postural instability, supranuclear gaze palsy, parkinsonism and cognitive decline. Pathologically, diagnosis of PSP is based on characteristic features, such as neurofibrillary tangles, neutrophil threads, tau-positive astrocytes and their processes in basal ganglia and brainstem...
