Summary
This case study reports a rare Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker syndrome (GSS) patient with a PRNP P102L variant and an unpenetrated GRN p.R110X variant. The findings highlight diagnostic complexity in neurodegenerative disorders.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Genetics
- Pathology
Background:
- Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker syndrome (GSS) is a rare, inherited prion disease.
- Genetic factors, including PRNP mutations, are key in GSS pathogenesis.
- The role of concomitant genetic variants in GSS phenotype is not fully understood.
