We describe 56 novel autosomal dominant early-onset Alzheimer disease (ADEOAD) families with PSEN1, PSEN2, and AβPP mutations or duplications, raising the total of families with mutations on known genes to 111 (74 PSEN1, 8 PSEN2, 16 AβPP, and 13 AβPP duplications) in the French series. In 33 additional families (23% of the series), the genetic determinism remained uncharacterized after this screening. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarker levels were obtained for patients of 58 families (42 with known mutations and 16 without genetic characterization). CSF biomarkers profile was consistent with an AD diagnosis in 90% of families carrying mutations on known genes. In families without mutation, CSF biomarkers were consistent with AD diagnosis in 14/16 cases. Overall, these results support further genetic heterogeneity in the determinism of ADEOAD and suggest that other major genes remain to be characterized.
我们描述了 56 个新的常染色体显性早发性阿尔茨海默病(ADEOAD)家族,这些家族具有 PSEN1、PSEN2 和 AβPP 突变或重复,使已知基因突变的家族总数增加到 111 个(74 个 PSEN1、8 个 PSEN2、16 个 AβPP 和 13 个 AβPP 重复)在法国系列中。在另外 33 个家族(该系列的 23%)中,经过这种筛选后,遗传决定因素仍然没有特征。对 58 个家族的患者(42 个有已知突变,16 个无遗传特征)获得了脑脊液(CSF)生物标志物水平。在携带已知基因突变的家族中,90%的 CSF 生物标志物谱符合 AD 诊断。在无突变的家族中,16 例中有 14 例 CSF 生物标志物符合 AD 诊断。总体而言,这些结果支持 ADEOAD 决定因素的进一步遗传异质性,并表明其他主要基因仍有待表征。
