Abstract excerpt
Presenilin 1 (PSEN1) plays a pivotal role in early-onset Alzheimer's disease (EOAD). The clinical phenotype of EOAD is typically marked by cognitive decline, with ataxia rarely reported. We identified mutations at different positions of PSEN1 in two Chinese patients with EOAD. Interestingly, one patient carrying the PSEN1 p.P117L mutation manifested symptoms of ataxia, while another patient harboring the PSEN1...
