Abstract Details

Autosomal-Dominant Parkinsonism Associated with a Newly Described Mutation in DNAJC13: Clinical, Imaging and Pathological Description
Movement Disorders
S13 - (-)
002
We identified a large Saskatchewan multi-incident family with autosomal-dominant parkinsonism and found that a DNAJC13 mutation predisposed to the disease. Two further multi-incident kindreds with PD were identified as well as two seemingly sporadic cases. All are of Mennonite origin.
Subjects were clinically screened with an interview and a neurological exam and provided DNA samples. Symptomatic carriers were clinically followed longitudinally where possible. PET imaging was performed with dopaminergic tracers (F-dopa, DTBZ, methylphenidate, raclopride). Pathological examination was performed on family members with a clinical diagnosis of PD.
57 subjects were screened in the Saskatchewan family, 16 carried the DNAJC13 mutation. Of these, 11 were symptomatic for PD: four had clinically definite PD, five possible/probable PD, two had historical parkinsonism. The phenotype in those with clinically definite PD was typical for PD including bradykinesia, tremor, rigidity, and postural instability. Motor complications (wearing-off and dyskinesias), and non-motor symptoms typical for PD were observed in some subjects. Subjects had a good response to levodopa therapy. Age of onset of first motor symptoms was 65 years. PET scanning included three mutation carriers, one with clinically definite, one with possible PD, one asymptomatic subject. The subject with clinically definite PD had a dopaminergic presynaptic deficit in the striatum with a rostro-caudal gradient typical for PD. PET imaging in the two other subjects was normal. Pathological examination of three mutation carriers with clinically definite PD revealed Lewy body pathology consistent with PD. One of the subjects also had TDP-43 reactive pathology.
The clinical, imaging and pathological presentation of parkinsonism caused by DNAJC13 closely resembles idiopathic PD. The newly discovered gene mutation will be important for the development of pathophysiological models of PD and translational research.
