Abstract
Abstract: CSF1R-related leukoencephalopathy is a rare, dominantly inherited leukoencephalopathy caused by mutations in the CSF1R gene that codes for colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor. We describe the clinical and neuroimaging features in three genetically confirmed cases (two women) of CSF1R-related leukoencephalopathy. The age at onset ranged from 41 to 45 years. Cognitive and behavioral disturbances were seen in all patients, and one patient had epilepsy. The movement disorders included parkinsonism, freezing of gait, cerebellar ataxia, tremors, etc., Pyramidal signs were noted in two patients. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain showed signal changes in the white matter. Whole-exome sequencing revealed mutation in the CSF1R gene, confirming the diagnosis. A combination of rapidly progressive cognitive and behavioral disturbances with involvement of pyramidal, extrapyramidal, and characteristic neuroimaging suggests diagnosis. Currently, the treatment is symptomatic as there is no specific treatment for the disease and a multidisciplinary team is required for managing these patients. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has shown to benefit a few patients.
期刊介绍:
The journal has a clinical foundation and has been utilized most by clinical neurologists for improving the practice of neurology. While the focus is on neurology in India, the journal publishes manuscripts of high value from all parts of the world. Journal publishes reviews of various types, original articles, short communications, interesting images and case reports. The journal respects the scientific submission of its authors and believes in following an expeditious double-blind peer review process and endeavors to complete the review process within scheduled time frame. A significant effort from the author and the journal perhaps enables to strike an equilibrium to meet the professional expectations of the peers in the world of scientific publication. AIAN believes in safeguarding the privacy rights of human subjects. In order to comply with it, the journal instructs all authors when uploading the manuscript to also add the ethical clearance (human/animals)/ informed consent of subject in the manuscript. This applies to the study/case report that involves animal/human subjects/human specimens e.g. extracted tooth part/soft tissue for biopsy/in vitro analysis.
