Novel missense progranulin gene mutation associated with the semantic variant of primary progressive aphasia.

Abstract excerpt

Progranulin (GRN) mutations are typically associated with the behavioral variant of frontotemporal dementia and the non-fluent variant of primary progressive aphasia phenotypes. Hereby, we describe a patient affected by semantic variant of primary progressive aphasia (svPPA) with a highly positive family history of dementia, carrying a novel GRN missense variation in exon 11 [g.2897 C > T (p.Thr409Met)],...
