This study presents a rare familial form of Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) in siblings. Autopsy confirmed typical PSP pathology, supporting a genetic basis for this neurodegenerative disease.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Neuroscience
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) is a rare neurodegenerative disease.
  • PSP is typically sporadic, with no known familial link.

Observation:

  • Two siblings presented with identical clinical symptoms of PSP.
  • Symptoms included vertical ophthalmoplegia, bradykinesia, rigidity, gait issues, and dementia.
  • Standard treatments showed minimal efficacy.

Findings:

  • Autopsy of one sibling revealed classic PSP neuropathology.
  • Findings included severe neuronal loss and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) in key brain regions.
  • Absence of Lewy bodies and cortical neuritic plaques was noted.

Implications:

  • This case supports the existence of a rare familial form of PSP.
  • Suggests a potential genetic etiology for some PSP cases.
  • Highlights the importance of considering genetic factors in atypical neurodegenerative presentations.
