Abstract:
Hereditary diffuse leukoencephalopathy with spheroids (HDLS) is an adult-onset autosomal dominant leukoencephalopathy resulting from mutations affecting the tyrosine kinase domain of the colony stimulating factor receptor 1 protein (encoded by CSF1R). The clinical phenotypes reported with CSF1R mutations are variable. We present a case of a patient with a pathogenic variant in the CSF1R gene with clinical and imaging features suggestive of Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB). This case expands the known clinical presentations associated with CSF1R mutations.

Lewis Acids and Bases
A coordinate covalent bond (or dative bond) occurs when one of the atoms in the bond provides both bonding electrons. For example, a coordinate covalent bond occurs when a water molecule combines with a hydrogen ion to form a hydronium ion. A coordinate covalent bond also results when...
