Abstract
We report the first clinical-radiological-genetic-molecular-pathological study of a kindred with c.823-10G>T MAPT intronic variant (rs63749974) associated with frontotemporal dementia and parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17 (FTDP-17). We describe the clinical spectrum within this family and emphasize the association between MAPT gene variants and motor neuron disease. This report of a second family with FTDP-17 associated with c.823-10G>T MAPT variant strongly supports pathogenicity of the variant and confirms it is a 4-repeat (4R) tauopathy. This intronic point mutation, probably strengthens the polypyrimidine tract and alters the splicing of exon 10 (10 nucleotides into intron 9) close to the 3’ splice site.
