A novel V272D presenilin mutation associated with logopenia, disorientation, and apraxia in an autosomal-dominant Alzheimer's disease family.
In the present study, a novel mutation in the presenilin 1 gene was discovered in an Iraq-native patient with early-onset Alzheimer's disease, who presented with speech impairment and memory decline at age 46 years. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a frontotemporal atrophy. Sanger sequencing identified a heterozygous T to A transversion at position 815 (c.815T>A) in the presenilin 1 gene (PSEN1), resulting in a novel missense mutation at codon 272 from valine to aspartate (V272D). We tested this PSEN1 mutation in vitro and found V272D resulted in an altered Aβ42/40 ratio.
