INTRODUCTION: Biallelic mutations in PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1) is a relatively common cause of autosomal recessive early-onset Parkinson's disease (PD). However, only three PINK1 patients with brain autopsy have been reported in the literature.
METHODS: We describe the clinical and pathological characteristics of a patient with early-onset PD. We screened for copy number variants SNCA, PRKN, PINK1, DJ-1, ATP13A2, LPA and TNFRSF9 by multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA), and subsequently we performed whole-exome sequencing.
RESULTS: Clinically the patient presented with typical parkinsonism that responded well to levodopa. After 23 years of disease she had a bilateral GPi deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. Genetic analyses revealed a heterozygous exon 4-5 deletion and a homozygous exon 1 [c. 230T > C (p.Leu77Pro)] mutation in PINK1. Post-mortem neuropathological examination after more than 30 years of disease revealed gliosis and a large loss of melanin-containing neurons in the substantia nigra. Lewy body pathology was evident in substantia nigra, temporal cortex, locus coeruleus and the parahippocampal region.
CONCLUSION: We describe the first clinical and pathological characterization of a PINK1 patient with a typical disease presentation and long disease duration. Previous reports describe two patients with Lewy-related pathologies, albeit with differential distribution, and one patient with no Lewy-related pathology. Hence, it seems that only two patients with parkinsonism due to mutations in PINK1 are consistent with α-synucleinopathy distribution like that seen in the majority of cases with sporadic PD. Our data further extend the clinicopathological characterization of PINK1-associated PD.
