Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Adult polyglucosan body disease (APBD) is an autosomal recessive leukodystrophy characterized by neurogenic bladder starting after 40 years old, spastic paraparesis and peripheral neuropathy. It is mainly resultant from the GBE1 homozygous p.Tyr329Ser (c.986A>C) mutation, especially in Ashkenazi-Jewish patients, although some cases of compound heterozygous have been reported.
