Summary: | Alpha-synuclein (
) copy number variations (CNV) have been certified as a causative mutation in patients with familial and sporadic Parkinson's disease (PD).
We report three
duplication cases diagnosed as PD. Through whole-exome sequencing, we identified a de novo 4.56 Mb repeated region in one patient and a 2.50 Mb repeated region in familial PD with two patients.
In review of previous cases, we suggest that aggressive behavior is more remarkable in CNV4 patients. Meanwhile, frequency of cognition decline and dementia were slightly increased in CNV4 patients. We also illustrate a younger onset age in offspring than parent in familial
multiplication PD cases. No difference was observed in disease duration between parent and offspring generation.
Our findings demonstrated the clinical and genetic characteristics in PD with
multiplication and provided strong evidence for genetic anticipation. These results may be instructive for future disease diagnosis and genetic counseling. |
