The GGC repeat expansions in the NOTCH2NLC gene are associated with multiple neurodegenerative disorders. Herein, we report the clinical phenotype in a family with biallelic GGC expansions in NOTCH2NLC. Autonomic dysfunction was a prominent clinical manifestation in three genetically confirmed patients without dementia, parkinsonism, and cerebellar ataxia for > 12 years. A 7-T brain magnetic resonance imaging in two patients revealed a change in the small cerebral veins. The biallelic GGC repeat expansions may not modify the disease progression in neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease. Autonomic dysfunction-dominant may expand the clinical phenotype of NOTCH2NLC.
NOTCH2NLC基因中的GGC重复序列扩增与多种神经退行性疾病相关。在此,我们报告了一个NOTCH2NLC基因双等位基因GGC扩增家族的临床表型。自主神经功能障碍是3例经基因确诊的患者的突出临床表现,这些患者在超过12年的时间里无痴呆、帕金森综合征和小脑共济失调。2例患者的7-T脑磁共振成像显示大脑小静脉有变化。双等位基因GGC重复序列扩增可能不会改变神经元核内包涵体病的疾病进展。以自主神经功能障碍为主可能会扩大NOTCH2NLC的临床表型。
