Abstract
BACKGROUND Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) encompasses a broader range of disease courses than previously appreciated. The most frequent clinical presentations of PSP are Richardson's Syndrome (RS) and PSP with a predominant Parkinsonism phenotype (PSP-P). Time to reach gait dependence and cognitive impairment have been proposed as prognostic disease milestones. Genetic polymorphisms in TRIM11 and SLC2A13 genes have been associated with longer disease duration (DD). METHODS Retrospective chart review, genetic single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analyses (in 3 cases), and neuropathology. RESULTS We identified four cases with long (>10-15 years) or very long (>15 years) DD. Stage 1 PSP tau pathology was present in 2 cases (one PSP-P and one undifferentiated phenotype), whereas pallido-nigro-Luysian atrophy (PSP-RS) and stage 4/6 (PSP-P) PSP pathology was found in the other 2 cases. Three cases were homozygous for the rs564309-C allele in the TRIM11 gene and the H1 MAPT haplotype. Two were heterozygous for rs2242367 (G/A) in SLC2A13, while the third was homozygous for the G-allele. CONCLUSIONS We propose a protracted course subtype of PSP (PC-PSP) based on clinical or neuropathological criteria in 2 cases with anatomically restricted PSP pathology, and very long DD and slower clinical progression in 2 cases. The presence of the rs564309-C allele may influence the protracted disease course. Crystallizing the concept of PC-PSP is important to further understand the pathobiology of tauopathies in line with current hypotheses of protein misfolding, seeding activity and propagation.

MR parkinsonism index predicts vertical supranuclear gaze palsy in patients with PSP-parkinsonism. Neurology 2016; 87:1266-73. [PMID: 27558375 PMCID: PMC5035983 DOI: 10.1212/wnl.0000000000003125] [Citation(s) in RCA: 35] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2016] [Accepted: 06/07/2016] [Indexed: 11/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective: To identify a biomarker for predicting the appearance of vertical supranuclear gaze palsy (VSGP) in patients affected by progressive supranuclear palsy–parkinsonism (PSP-P). Methods: Twenty-four patients with PSP-P were enrolled in the current study. Patients were clinically followed up every 6 months until the appearance of VSGP or the end of the follow-up (4 years). Participants underwent MRI at baseline and at the end of follow-up. Magnetic resonance parkinsonism index (MRPI), an imaging measure useful for diagnosing PSP, was calculated. Results: Twenty-one patients with PSP-P completed follow-up, and 3 patients dropped out. Eleven of 21 patients with PSP-P developed VSGP after a mean follow-up period of 28.5 months (range 6–48 months), while the remaining 10 patients with PSP-P did not develop VSGP during the 4-year follow-up period. At baseline, patients with PSP-P who later developed VSGP had MRPI values significantly higher than those of patients not developing VSGP without overlapping values between the 2 groups. MRPI showed a higher accuracy (100%) in predicting VSGP than vertical ocular slowness (accuracy 33.3%) or postural instability with or without vertical ocular slowness (accuracy 71.4% and 42.9%, respectively). Conclusions: Our study demonstrates that MRPI accurately predicted, on an individual basis, the appearance of VSGP in patients with PSP-P, thus confirming clinical diagnosis in vivo.
