Findings

The A105Rfs variant, a single-nucleotide deletion, creates a frameshift resulting in a premature stop codon after amino acid 187. This variant, in a homozygous state, was found in a German patient affected by Nasu-Hakola disease (Klunemann et al., 2005). This patient began exhibiting personality and behavioral changes in his early 30s. MRI showed leukoencephalopathy with sparing of arcuate fibers, cerebral atrophy, and thinning of the corpus callosum. Basal ganglia calcification was seen on CT.

Neuropathology

Neuropathological characterization is currently lacking. However, imaging revealed typical findings for patients with NHD, including leukoencephalopathy with sparing of arcuate fibers, cerebral atrophy, thinning of the corpus callosum, and basal ganglia calcification (Klunemann et al., 2005).

Biological Effect

Unknown.
